Thank you for this Hans, its going to be very useful for breaking bibliographic refs including manuscript or inscription codes in two column mode.

Hi, list.

I want to know if ConTeXt provides an option to automatically hyphenate/break digits as if they were alphabetic characters. Example, in a narrow page I expect something like that (I've used (-) for an optional hyphen):

*π = *3.141592653(-) 58979323846264(-) 33832795028841(-) 97169399375105(-) ...

I found myself unable to read a satisfactory solution in the mailing list archive nor other TeX related resources. Maybe LMTX has some magic for that?

I'll add support for: \starttext \hsize6cm \pi\ = \hyphenateddigits[\unknown]{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105} \blank \pi\ = \hyphenateddigits{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105} \blank x $\pi = \hyphenateddigits[\unknown]{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105}$ \blank x $\pi = \hyphenateddigits{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105}$ \blank \stoptext A quick and dirty hack as we don't need some full blown mechanism for such a rare case.

A quick and dirty hack as we don't need some full blown mechanism for such a rare case.

Thank you! Might come handy for other non-words, as Richard has shown.

Depending on usage it might need to b eimproved (like: does one wants to break before a period or comma but let's first collect use cases Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again. I've noticed \hyphenateddigits fails with alphabetical symbols, e.g. with hexadecimal numbers. Maybe there's a better solution, but something like --From phys-dim.lua actions = function(filler, digits) digits = gsub(digits,"(%d)","%1\\digitsbreak ") --space added. Would a "\relax " do better? digits = gsub(digits,"\\-$",filler) context(digits) end would fix it.
