Thank you for this, but that&#39;s not what I intended to ask for.<br><br>I just don&#39;t like when LaTeX hyphenates words after 2 characters or/and only 3 characters at the end. I would like to change this in a easy way and I don&#39;t wanna do this for every mishyphened word as this is not efficient in a big report. Further this should work for every language (well, for me only english and german, but I&#39;m sure other could use it too).
<br><br>Actually it&#39;s not that much I&#39;m looking for but so far, no solution worked for me...(just deactivating hyphenation is not a solution to my problem)<br><br>Maybe this will come in LaTeX3? Just kidding...<br>

Since the original post asked about confining the non-hyphenation to only<br>a portion of the file, I am surprised no one has mentioned the obvious<br>solution, which appears below. &nbsp;Note that the blank line that precedes the
<br>} is necessary since the hyphenpenalty has to be in effect when tex<br>realizes that the paragraph is finished. &nbsp;I suppose this could all be<br>dressed into a latex environment, but I have not tried that.<br><br>Michael Barr
