: ''This article is about words that are spelled with a hyphen. For hyphenated words, see [[Hyphenation]].
 
Words consisting of two separate words are often separated by an intra word dash, as in x-axis.
This dash can be placed between two | characters, for example |-|.
When || is typed, the default intra word dash is used, which is <context>||</context>. You can configure this with <{{cmd>|setuphyphenmark</cmd>}}.
Valid values are <code>normal</code> and <code>wide</code>.
that would come from that.

== Indicating hyphenation patterns manually / optional hyphens ==\starttext
If you have a few foreign words in your text, or simply a few unusual ones, they may hyphenate incorrectly but not be worth invoking a different \hyphenation{{cmd|language}intraword} for. You can define ad-hoc \hyphenation patterns with the command {{cmd|hyphenation}intra}:
<texcode>{\bf input -- normal output -- hyphenated output}\ShowComposed{intraword} \crlf\hyphenationShowComposed{hääintra-yö-aieword} \crlf</texcode>\ShowComposed{intra||word} \crlf\ShowComposed{intra|-|word} \crlfIf you just need to fix a single \ShowComposed{intra|(|word, you can add an optional hyphen )} \crlf\ShowComposed{(hyphenation hintintra|) with |word} \crlf\ShowComposed{intra|--|word} \crlf\ShowComposed{intra|~|word} \crlf\ShowComposed{cmdintra|-_|word} \crlf\ShowComposed{intra|=|word} \crlf\ShowComposed{intra|'|word}: <code>kai \crlf\-vosShowComposed{intra|*|word} \-aukcrlf\-kostoptext</codecontext>.
== Enabling hyphenation on hyphens for composed words globally ==
This is possible in MkIV with the following command: <texcode>\{{cmd|setbreakpoints|[compound]</texcode>}}.This is equivalent to typing each composed -word as <code>composed|-|word</code>. It also sets the characters '+', '/', '(', and ')' as good breakpoints inside composed words. The slash must be typed verbatim, though, not as {{cmd|slash}} or {{cmd|backslash}}.
