I'm using UTF-8 so it is – if one is using the right font – no problem to implement the different types of s in older German texts (s, ſ, ß). Unfortunately the hyphenation breaks because LaTeX does not know that ſ has to be dealt with just the same as it would do when dealing with "s".

As one can see at the end of the line, I have to add the correct hyphenation manually. Any idea how I can solve this?

    you could make this work automatically in luatex or xetex but in pdftex the best you could do is define Å¿ to always allow a hyphenation after it, it can not take part in patterns or hyphenation

    your choices would be essentially to (a) use hyphenation as you have done for all necessary words or (b) copy the hyphenation patterns adding patterns for long s to match those for s and rebuild the xelatex format (lulatex does not need to be rebuilt) or (c) use s in the original markup and then set up font features (perhaps...) so that some s get typeset using the long form. Which would you prefer? (the last probably depends on the font you use)

For LuaTeX here is an implementation of David Carlisles idea to create a hypenate callback. It works by replacing every Å¿ with a marked s before hyphenation and then recovering the original characters after hyphenation:



documentclassarticle
usepackage[ngerman]babel
usepackageluacode
beginluacode*
local sattr = luatexbase.new_attribute("longsattr")
local disc = node.id'disc'
print('DISC', disc)

local function long_to_s(head, tail)
 for n in node.traverse(head) do
 if n == tail then break end
 if n.id == disc then
 print(n)
 long_to_s(n.pre)
 long_to_s(n.post)
 long_to_s(n.replace)
 end
 if n.char == 383 then
 n.char = 115
 node.set_attribute(n, sattr, 383)
 end
 end
end
local function s_to_long(head, tail)
 for n in node.traverse(head) do
 if n == tail then break end
 if n.id == disc then
 s_to_long(n.pre)
 s_to_long(n.post)
 s_to_long(n.replace)
 end
 local a = node.get_attribute(n, sattr)
 if a then
 n.char = a
 node.unset_attribute(n, sattr)
 end
 end
end
local function myhyph(head, tail)
 long_to_s(head, tail)
 lang.hyphenate(head, tail)
 s_to_long(head, tail)
end
luatexbase.add_to_callback("hyphenate",myhyph,"hyphenate with modified s")

LuaTeX also allows you to manipulate the hyphenation pattern during a run, so you can also use (this is an automated version of David Carlisles choice (b)):

A simple way to do this is to choose a font that supports Å¿ as an open type character variant, e.g., EB Garamond. Then you can just select that variant when you need it.



(Re-reading the comments above, I see this corresponds to option (c) from David Carlisle, which you said wasn't suitable, but this MWE shows you can have both kinds of s with this method.)



Update showing iſt and ſelbes.

  • You're right about the font. Though dis is not exactly David Carlisles option c and is no proper way to do it, because though all Å¿ are s, not all s are Å¿. The rule is, i think, that at the beginning of a word and in between letters it's an Å¿ – if not a long vocal is right before it. So it's »iÅ¿t« and »Å¿elbes«.
    – Martin Mueller
    Aug 7 at 8:36










  • @MartinMueller, EB Garamond does not change it at the end of a word, but I think it changes it everywhere else. I'm not a German speaker though, so I do not know what it should be.
    – David Purton
    Aug 7 at 8:44










  • Thank you for pointing that out. I've installed the EB Garamond but unfortunately the rules of Å¿ are far more complex than I knew (see wikipedia) and using your method does not produce the desired result. E.g. lesbisch should be lesbiÅ¿ch but is rendered leÅ¿biÅ¿ch
    – Martin Mueller
    Aug 7 at 12:20










  • @MartinMueller, that's a pity! The EB Garamond manual does warn that this feature isn't all that clever.

LuaTeX also allows you to manipulate the hyphenation pattern during a run, so you can also use (this is an automated version of David Carlisles choice (b)):

A simple way to do this is to choose a font that supports Å¿ as an open type character variant, e.g., EB Garamond. Then you can just select that variant when you need it.



(Re-reading the comments above, I see this corresponds to option (c) from David Carlisle, which you said wasn't suitable, but this MWE shows you can have both kinds of s with this method.)



Update showing iſt and ſelbes.

  • You're right about the font. Though dis is not exactly David Carlisles option c and is no proper way to do it, because though all Å¿ are s, not all s are Å¿. The rule is, i think, that at the beginning of a word and in between letters it's an Å¿ – if not a long vocal is right before it. So it's »iÅ¿t« and »Å¿elbes«.

  • @MartinMueller, EB Garamond does not change it at the end of a word, but I think it changes it everywhere else. I'm not a German speaker though, so I do not know what it should be.

  • Thank you for pointing that out. I've installed the EB Garamond but unfortunately the rules of Å¿ are far more complex than I knew (see wikipedia) and using your method does not produce the desired result. E.g. lesbisch should be lesbiÅ¿ch but is rendered leÅ¿biÅ¿ch

  • @MartinMueller, that's a pity! The EB Garamond manual does warn that this feature isn't all that clever.

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
