| | Hyphen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the ASCII character encoding, the hyphen was encoded as character 45. | | | Most text systems consider a hyphen to be a word boundary and a valid point at which to break a line when flowing text. | | | Note that the details of doing this properly are complex and language-dependent, and interact with other typesetting practices: see justification and hyphenation algorithm. |

| | Hyphen |
| | In computers, the hyphen is commonly used in computer programming and mathematics to subtract one number from another. | | | In many word processor software programs an optional hyphen is commonly automatically inserted by a program when a word is cut off by the program because it has reached the end of the page. | | | Also known as a dash, minus sign, or negative; the hyphen (-) is a punctuation mark commonly found on the underscore key next to the "0" computer keyboard key. |

| | Hyphenation is not always straightforward in other European languages, but a computer program based on expert local knowledge can successfully handle all languages, and even mix them on one page. | | | In spite of spelling checkers and hyphen dictionaries, the output of desktop computers and even of large composition systems is spattered with errors, misprints and ridiculous word-breaks. | | | Computer Hyphenation Ltd is a company producing software to instruct computers in how to use hyphens properly. |

| | Soft hyphen (SHY) - a hard problem? |
| | This means, in particular, that when a program formats text, it can hyphenate words so that the formatted text carries information which tells whether a hyphen at the end of a line is part of a word itself (as in corn-crake) or was introduced when hyphenating for word division. | | | One might say that this does not make the soft hyphen even a conditionally printable character, since an eventual glyph is used by the program to indicate what it has done. | | | The plain hyphen should be interpreted by a user agent as just another character. |

| | The Hyphen |
| | The hyphen is also used in writing compound words which, without the hyphen, would be ambiguous, hard to read or overly long. | | | Finally, the hyphen has one rather special use: it is used in writing pieces of words. | | | Only when you are writing about language are you likely to need this use of the hyphen. |

| | In order to hyphenate text, TeX must have hyphenation patterns and, since these patterns can be loaded only by iniTeX, the choice of which patterns to load must be made when the format is created. | | | With LaTeX2e it is possible to configure which hyphenation patterns are to be loaded into the format. | | | Unfortunately some older hyphenation files do contain such settings; thus they are incompatible with the mechanisms LaTeX uses to ensure independence of input and output encodings. |

| | En Dashes and Em Dashes |
| | On typewriter and computer keyboards, the hyphen appears on the bottom half of the key located on the top row between the "0" and the equals mark (=). | | | Now, many word processing software programs will automatically turn those two hyphens into an em dash (if we correctly leave NO space before or after them). | | | Our typewriter and computer keyboards lack individual keys that display either of the dashes. |

| | Dash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The hyphen-minus (-) is the ASCII character typically used as a hyphen, a minus sign, and a dash in ASCII computer files. | | | This compromise made sense in the days of monospacing typewriters and early computers and persists mainly because standard keyboards do not have the keys for the separate characters. | | | The hyphen (‐), U+2010, is a character which, unlike the ASCII hyphen, always represents a hyphen. |

| | Paul Neagu's Hyphen Sculptures by Donald Kuspit |
| | Hyphen, from the Greek 'hyph' hen," means "under one" or "into one," that is, "together." The hyphen is a connector, linking elements usually thought of as antithetical and irreconcilable It thus accomplishes a kind of miracle, bringing together what ordinarily seems to exist autonomously and apart, and creating something new in the process. | | | In other words, the hyphen, a contradiction in terms, embodies both the dynamics of integration and the vulnerability to disintegration -- as a true hyphen does It fuses libido and the death drive, with no clear sense of which is dominant. | | | Much can - and has - been read into Neagu's hyphen, by himself and others. |
