So stringt substitution for umlauts should work too--that's very good. > Regarding `Wässerchen': It is possible that this word wasn't in the > original word list used to create the hyphenation pattern, which might > explain missing hyphenation.

I tested with Kindergärten from the documentation--it dit not work for me: .hla den .hpf hyphen.den .ll 11 Kinderg\(:arten hyphenates as Kin-dergärten. With .ll 12 there ist no hyphenation. Or do I have to add .hcode requests by myself? Second question: Do I have to write ".hla den" or ".hla de"? There is no error message in both cases and the documentation is not 100% clear. Carsten
