One can define optimal hyphenation of a single word in the preamble of a LaTeX document that will be used if line length is awkward.



hyphenationbiblio-philia


What if I wanted to be more general and define hyphenation for word parts:



% not real but imagined command:
hyphenation.+o-philia$


Adding a discretionary hyphen to any word that ends with ophilia after the o?

    no, you could define a pattern but (unless you are using luatex) that requires building a new format, you can't use patterns in a normal document run (and tex patterns are not regex like that but you could match those characters at end of any word)

Essentialy the same code would work with pdflatex or xelatex but you would have to modify the language files and build new formats with initex, you can not use patterns in a normal tex run with classic tex.

    If you're free to switch from XeLaTeX to LuaLaTeX, it's straightforward to set up a Lua function that adds a discretionary hyphenation point in words that contain "ophilia". In fact, as the following example shows, one can easily generalize the function so that it treats all words that contain either the letter a or o followed by either philia or phobia.



    The only constraint imposed by this approach on your document is that you mustn't create and employ macros that contain the following strings: aphilia, aphobia, ophilia, and/or ophobia. E.g., setting newcommandagoraphobiazzz or newcommandarachnophiliayyy will definitely throw an error message. Hopefully, though, this constraint isn't exactly binding. Incidentally, macros named phobia, philia, AgoraPhobia, and/or ArachnoPhilia, would be just fine...



    enter image description here



    documentclassarticle
    usepackageluacode
    beginluacode


    function ophilia ( s )
    s = s:gsub ( "([ao])(philia)" , "%1\-%2" )
    s = s:gsub ( "([ao])(phobia)" , "%1\-%2" )
    return s
    end


    endluacode
    AtBeginDocumentdirectlualuatexbase.add_to_callback(
    "process_input_buffer", ophilia, "ophilia" )

    %% just for this example:
    setlengthtextwidth1mm
    setlengthparindent0pt

    begindocument
    bibliophilia cryptophilia necrophilia agoraphilia
    bibliophobia cryptophobia necrophobia agoraphobia

            If you're free to switch from XeLaTeX to LuaLaTeX, it's straightforward to set up a Lua function that adds a discretionary hyphenation point in words that contain "ophilia". In fact, as the following example shows, one can easily generalize the function so that it treats all words that contain either the letter a or o followed by either philia or phobia.



            The only constraint imposed by this approach on your document is that you mustn't create and employ macros that contain the following strings: aphilia, aphobia, ophilia, and/or ophobia. E.g., setting newcommandagoraphobiazzz or newcommandarachnophiliayyy will definitely throw an error message. Hopefully, though, this constraint isn't exactly binding. Incidentally, macros named phobia, philia, AgoraPhobia, and/or ArachnoPhilia, would be just fine...



            enter image description here



            documentclassarticle
            usepackageluacode
            beginluacode


            function ophilia ( s )
            s = s:gsub ( "([ao])(philia)" , "%1\-%2" )
            s = s:gsub ( "([ao])(phobia)" , "%1\-%2" )
            return s
            end


            endluacode
            AtBeginDocumentdirectlualuatexbase.add_to_callback(
            "process_input_buffer", ophilia, "ophilia" )

            %% just for this example:
            setlengthtextwidth1mm
            setlengthparindent0pt

            begindocument
            bibliophilia cryptophilia necrophilia agoraphilia
            bibliophobia cryptophobia necrophobia agoraphobia

            • @DavidCarlisle - True, I hadn't considered this possibility for practical insanity. :-) I'll post an addendum to state explicitly that a person who employs the method shown above shouldn't create macros whose names contain [ao]philia or [ao]philia...

              for the ending given command names are unlikely but a reader might be encouraged by success with that ending to make all words ending in tion hyphenate as -tion but then section might not work too well.....
