I am currently working on a german document. While proof-reading I noticed a lot of places where the hyphenation is not correct. My current solution to this problem is to separate the word in question manually, e.g.
Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän
becomes
Don\-au\-dampf\-schiff\-fahrts\-ge\-sell\-schafts\-ka\-pi\-tän.
But I have to do this for every occurence using search and replace. Is there another way, like a central dictionary mechanism I have not heard of yet? Maybe with an integration for an editor like Notepad++ or Atom that autosuggests hyphenized words?
I am using \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
as suggested here: How to get proper German hyphenation?
I am also using \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
but this does not solve the issue.
\hyphenation{Don-au-dampf-schiff-fahrts-ge-sell-schafts-ka-pi-tän}
work?Do-nau-dampf-schiff-fahrts-ge-sell-schafts-ka-pi-tän
Do-nau-dampf-schiff-fahrts-ge-sell-schafts-ka-pi-tän
when using ngerman + babel. So you should show a concrete and complete example where hyphenation fails for you.
