Hyphenation

Control word hyphenation: manual break points and hyphenation exceptions, aided by microtype.

Example

In case you write \enquote{application-specific}, then the word will only be hyphenated at the dash.
You can also insert \verb1\allowbreak{}1 into the word, as in applica\allowbreak{}tion-specific, but this is much more effort.

You can now write words containing hyphens which are hyphenated at other places in the word.
For that, write \verb1"=1 instead of \verb1-1, as in application"=specific.
This is enabled by an additional configuration of the babel package.
