Help with hyphenation

Post by ganda97 »

Hello,

I need to stop one instance of one word from hyphenating. Any ideas? The word "radio" in one of my captions is hyphenating in the "list of figures" and it is not allowed by my department. The word is being hyphenated as "ra-dio". I would prefer to just "fix" this one instance, with no hyphenation, since the rest of the formatting is ok and don't want to mess with it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ariel

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

A quick fix: use

Code: Select all

\mbox{radio}
The use of \mbox prevents hyphenation (and probably causes an overfull \hbox).
