page text width hyphenating words

Post by snif123 »

Hi
I have changed my lefside margin and now latex hyphenates some of the word at the end of the sentence e.g eff- (continues word on next line).
Any one know a remedy for this?
Thanks!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

If you want to stop all hyphenation in the document, you might refer to http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2htm ... ph+hyphoff.

If, on the other hand, you just don't like that particular choice of hyphenation, try using \hyphenation{wordidontwanthyphenated}, which tells TeX NOT to hyphenate that word except where you tell it. For example, \hyphenation{foo-bar FUBAR} tells TeX not to hyphenate "FUBAR", but it can hyphenate "foobar" (but only between the o and the b, nowhere else).
