Hi there, to allow hyphenation in compound words I use \hskip0pt{}--\hskip{}, but the problem here is that thanks to the first \hskip0pt{} it might be that a line begins with the en-dash. Is there a way to avoid this? Omitting the first \hskip0pt{} avoids the problem but also prevents the first word to be hyphenated. Thanks for your help, Pablo
