Text Formatting ⇒ Hyphenation for Words with a Slash

[heavytull]

It seems that \hyphenation is not working when the word defined with the macro is next to a slash in the text. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\usepackage{hyphenat}
\hyphenation{de-mo-du-la-tion}

\begin{document}
Some text Some text Some text 
Some text Some text Some modulation/demodulation''.\par\addvspace{6pt}
\end{document}

When compiling, a warning appears in the log showing that the word is not known with the hyphenation rule defined with \hyphenation{}. But when the rule is given in the text body with \- it works.

The hyphenat manual suggests to use the \fshyp command for this purpose.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{hyphenat}

\begin{document}
  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown modulation\fshyp{}demodulation
\end{document}

Note that under certain circumstances the word might be hyphenated as "modulation/-demodulation". Here is an example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{hyphenat}

\begin{document}
  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick modulation\fshyp{}demodulation
\end{document}
