Text Formatting ⇒ Hyphenation in marginpar

[ernste]

I am using sinple margin labels in my German text with the marginlabel command which I created as:
\newcommand{\marginlabel}[1]
{\mbox{}\marginpar[\footnotesize\raggedleft\hspace{0pt}#1]
{\footnotesize\raggedright\hspace{0pt}#1}}

I usually write these margin labels in footnotesize. Strangely enough the text in the margin labels is not hyphenated.

Why???

What can I do about it???

Hyphenation in narrow columns is always tricky. Since you are writing in German, you should generally enable Cork Encoding for better hyphenation (if not done yet).

Code: Select all

\usepackage{T1]{fontenc}

The marginnote package improves typesetting of marginals notes. In your case further enhancements might come by using the ragged2e package.

Please use the code environment to tag code as such (see Board Rules). This keeps posts clear and legible.
