Text Formatting ⇒ Hyphen confusion

[rajini]

Hello all,

Where to put the following code:

Code: Select all

\hyphenpenalty=3000
\tolerance=1000

If put immediately after

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}

i get a pdf with some hyphen pattern.
But that hyphenation is entirely different if i put the penality just before \begin{document}.
Why it is like that..Or which is correct place to declare the commands

Code: Select all

\hyphenpenalty=3000
\tolerance=1000

thanks

I'm confused about your question. After

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}

and before

Code: Select all

\begin{document}

should be the same place -- all of your "\usepackage"s should be in the preamble. If they are, and you're moving the hyphen penalty around in the preamble and it's causing different results, that means the other packages and commands you've put in the preamble are interfering, and no one can help you if you don't tell us what those are.

Hello John,
thank you for your reply. Here you find all my codes. If the code '\hyphenpenalty=4000 and \tolerance=500' is moved to last line (of the code below), then a different hyphen is obtained.
