I was considering to use xspace for some common standard terms in my document, like:
\newcommand{\ring}{my secret ring\xspace}
I am now wondering, if hyphenation gets it right, when I do this?
\ring{}s
Notes
That asked, I realize the existance of https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/86620/24158 and I probably should not use xspace at all and just use the normal definition, in which case I hope the hyphenation gets it right always.
I also possibly should really define more terms instead of trickyly appending to them. But german has a bunch of postfixes, so that's not funny either.
Not using a macro IS an option. I am trying to explore my viable options.
\xspace
has no influence in hyphenation. – egreg Mar 11 '13 at 22:59
