Text Formatting ⇒ revtex4-1 | Hyphenation Problem

[kingchang]

Hi,

I wrote something with MikTeX + WinEdt, and found the hyphenation is very strange. For example, "Eqs." is printed as "E-qs.", the name "Eberly" becomes "E-berly". Are these hyphenation correct? Could anyone help me fix them? Thank you.

Below are the texts.

\documentclass[pra,twocolumn]{revtex4-1}

\begin{document}

The goal now is to find a feature to discern the second excited state once the system reaches it. From Eqs.\ (\ref{eq1}) and (\ref{eq2}), we find that the second-order correlation function of photons $a+b$ for the second doublet is much larger than that for the first doublet, i.e.\ $a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i+j+k$ \cite{PhysRevLett.51.550}.

\bibliography{references}
\end{document}

The BibTeX file "references":

@Article{PhysRevLett.51.550,
title = {Theory of Spontaneous-Emission Line Shape in an Ideal Cavity},
author = {Sanchez-Mondragon, J. J. and Narozhny, N. B. and Eberly, J. H.},
journal = {Phys. Rev. Lett.},
volume = {51},
number = {7},
pages = {550--553},
numpages = {3},
year = {1983},
month = {Aug},
doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.51.550},
publisher = {American Physical Society}
}


Thank you again.

Regardless of some warnings concerning missing references to equations I can't comprehend the problem because your example doesn't reproduce the described behaviour for me.

And by the way, for posting code please use the »Code« button to tag it as such. It would be very kind if you use it accordingly to keep your posts clear and legible.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you very much. Maybe we got different outputs. I am surprised at it. I attached the generated pdf file. The "Eqs." is separated into two lines, and so is "Eberly". It is really strange.

[…] Maybe we got different outputs. […]

For sure we've got different outputs. Otherwise I wouldn't have said that in my first reply.

Perhaps it's a matter of outdated class and package versions. Add the \listfiles command as very first line to your example and check the log file for the list of used files. Mine looks like this.

You will need at least these versions to get a proper output.
