With respect to using the glossaries
package, if I have an acronym with a long hyphenated word, it often result in sentences that runs into margins. For example:
\newacronym[sort=WH]{WH}{Wh}{Wiener-Hammerstein}
results in:
I have also tried
\newacronym[sort=WH]{WH}{Wh}{Wiener\-Hammerstein}
But that fails as well, it just produces WienerHammerstein
.
How do I get round this problem and allow the hyphenated ord to break across the hyphen, but always write the hyphen in normal situations?
Wiener-Hammer\-stein

doesn't behave like naked counterparts which allows automatic line breaking where the hyphen is. Hmm.. Anyway it's good enough band aid fix for me now. – Mobius Pizza Dec 18 '12 at 12:11glossaries
. As soon as a word has an explicit hyphen TeX assumes it is only allowed to break there. That's why you have to help, e.g. by inserting an implicit hyphen like in my proposal. – cgnieder Dec 18 '12 at 12:19babel
's shorthands might also help. – cgnieder Dec 18 '12 at 12:26
