Turn hyphenation off? $ nroff .hy 0 .pl 4 .ll 18n I I peculiar-looking .br I I \%peculiar-looking ^D I I peculiar‐ looking I I peculiar‐looking $ See CSTR 54, §13. https://troff.org/54.pdf Words that contain hyphens (minus), em-dashes (\(em), or hyphenation indicator characters are always subject to splitting after those characters, whether automatic hyphenation is on or off. Or do you want hyphenation on elsewhere? -- Cheers, Ralph.
