In the work in progress, various stretches of ancient Greek text have
additional characters interpolated into them to indicate (the nature
of) scholarly emendations made. For example, the XML input :
<Other_Notes>f.≈Br:<image status="active" source="L40.2-G5-[B1]"
callout="Other_Notes"></image> “<foreign language="Greek">Σωσον
Κ<expan>ύρι</expan>ε τῶν λα<expan>ον</expan> σου καὶ ευλογησον τὴν
κλ<supplied>η</supplied>ρονομια<supplied>ν</supplied> σου νίκας τῆς
βα<supplied>σιλεύσι</supplied></foreign>”; ... </Otyher notes>
will, after TeX's macro expansion, yield (in part) :
f.(kern)Br: Σωσον Κ(ύρι)ε τῶν λα(ον) σου καὶ ευλογησον τὴν
κλ<η>ρονομια<ν> ...
Empirically, it would seem that the presence of the interpolated round
and angle brackets affects TeX's ability to hyphenate such stretches of
text; could the hyphenation experts suggest a work-around, please ?
