Dear Alexander,
I need then to add the soft-hyphens within the FO file? Is there any way
to add this rule in the hyphenation dictionary? I have tried
\patterns{
...
1/1
}
But this did not seem to take any effect.
About text-squeezing: I do have hyphenation turned on.
The situation is as follows: I have a table-cell with an alphanumeric
text (sometimes long) like "RT54XIOP", but the table-cell could be just
3 characters wide. So the long alphanumeric is squeezed and unreadable.
Is that a way to let it break randomly instead of being squeezed?
Jim

You can insert Unicode soft hyphen ­ before/after the slash in
order to make XEP break the word at this positions then hyphenation is
turned on.

Are you sure that you have turned hyphenation on? It is off by
default. With hyphenation turned on XEP will try to break long words
if possible, it uses "text squeezing" technic as a fallback if there
was no appropriate hyphenation rule found or if the word just slightly
longer then available space.
JQ> Thanks so much
