> A minor problem showed up with hyphenation hints. In the german
> language, compound words of different languages are built with
> a hyphen between them, e.g. "Select-Klausel" or "depends-Abhngigkeit",
> to make the change of language clear (there are other reasons for
> explicit hyphens, too). Since TeX does not hyphenate such compounds,
> and they can get very long in german, we use a macro "" (with active
> doublequote), defined as \hskip\z@skip, so TeX will hyphenate again:
> Select-""Klausel, depends-""Abh"angigkeit ("a is short for \"{a} = ).
> tex4ht translates this to a space, which makes sense since browsers
> will not break the compounds without that space either. However, I’d
> prefer to not have such spaces. Could this be configurable?
