== Composed : ''This article is about words ==that are spelled with a hyphen. For hyphenated words, see [[Hyphenation]].
Valid values are <code>normal</code> and <code>wide</code>. The default sign is a combination of two hyphens: <context source="yes">\setuppapersize[A5]\setuphyphenmark[sign=wide] intra||word</context> To get a normal sign you could set this with the <code>normal</code> value (ConTeXt 2008.09.16 or later). <context source="yes">\setuppapersize[A5]\setuphyphenmark[sign=normal]intra||word</context>

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}}.
The || is also used in word combinations like (intra)word, which is typed as (intra|)|word.
The mechanism is not foolproof but it serves most purposes. In case the hyphenation is
incorrect you can hyphenate the first word of the composed one by hand: (in\-tra|)|word.
Another use of || is the processing of subsentences. The symbol that surrounds a subsentence varies
depending on the current language settings, as controlled by <cmd>setuplanguage</cmd>. When you use |<| and |>| to indicate the subsentence, the proper symbol will be used automatically.
<context source="yes">
\setuppapersize[A5]
a |<|as explained below|>| conflirtaneous \unknown
</context>
The main reason behind this mechanism is that TeX doesn’t really know how to hyphenate
that would come from that.
