will be flushed! Improper \hyphenation will be flushed. \'#1->{ \accent 19 #1} <*> \hyphenation{Ji-m\'e -nez}(in Plain TeX) or
! Improper \hyphenation will be flushed. \leavevmode ->\unhbox \voidb@x <*> \hyphenation{Ji-m\'e -nez}in LaTeX. As mentioned in “hyphenation failures”, “words” containing
\
accent
commands may not be hyphenated. As
a result, any such word is deemed improper in a \
hyphenation
command.
Hyphenation happens as paragraphs are laid out; by this time, TeX
knows what font is used for each glyph; thus it knows the encoding
being used. So the solution to the problem is to use a font that
contains the accented character; doing this this “hides” the accent
from the hyphenation mechanisms.
For LaTeX users, this is quite an easy task; they select an 8-bit
font with the package, as in \
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
, and
accented-letter commands such as the \
’
e
in
\
hyphenation{Ji-m\
’
e-nez}
automatically become the
single accented character by the time the hyphenation gets to look at
it.
