------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Dec 7 15:44:33 +0000 2008 ------- General rules for hyphenation of French: - less hyphenation is better - no hyphenation at apostrophes: l'/amour - hyphenation must cut at least 3 letters: es/poir l'es-poir l'a/mour ar/gent d'ar-gent - hyphenation not allowed on proper names, - no more than 3 consecutive hyphenations - no hyphenation on the last word of a paragraph. Legend: / fordidden hyphenation - allowed hyphenation -- Note: a strange thing is that the people(s) who wrote the French hyphenation dictionary didn't respect the 3 letters limit, even if they recognized it. The first example they give is: co-lon. I checked in books I have and I never saw words stripped with only two letters. Maybe because two-letters strip is not forbidden, only not advised(?) There is nowhere exhaustive list of rules about hyphenation in French. Informations are scattered, and only few books give elements of answer, and sometimes they don't agree with each other. I will try to go to the library this week to have a look in the reference grammar book: "Du bon usage du Français" de Grevisse. -- I found no rules about 'puisque', 'quoique', etc. so it does not seem forbidden to hyphenate them, but, imho, it looks a little bit strange. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
