protect hyphenated word from breaking

Consider this example:



documentclass{report}

begin{document}

bbbb bbbb bbbb ddf hdfhdf hdfhfd hdfhdf ddfgdfg dgdfg ert we Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is equal to 1

end{document}


The output is enter image description here



Breaking the word




Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa




is not a good idea. Does hyphenation play a role in breaking and how can I protect this word from breaking?






line-breaking hyphenation

    hyphens are normally break points, you can protect them, e.g. with mbox or with babel commands, but if you remove break points from such a large word, latex will have a hard time to break the line without creating an overfull box.

If you really don't want to break a long hyphenated word, this is something to do in the final edits, because the naive solution (mbox{Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa}) is likely to cause more aesthetic trouble than it saves. At this point you'll have to decide whether to reword the sentence (or even an earlier part of the paragraph) for reasons purely of appearance. That tweaking of the wording may be sufficient to fix the line breaking, or it may need to be combined with mbox{...}.



I have used the mbox approach without having to edit on much shorter phrases (mbox{$c$-axis}). In this case it works well. In your case the compound word is over 1/3 of a line; in a two-column document you'd really struggle to get the breaking reasonable with it mboxed together.



The longest example in my thesis was mbox{x-positions}; in papers I've only had to do this for even shorter strings (chemical formulae in physics papers set using normal text). It's probably best to reserve such tuning for situations where the comprehension of the text depends on it.

    You can use $c$nobreakdash-axis if you load amsmath.

    @egreg, yes, and I did load amsmath but I find the mbox approach easier to read in the source. I should probably have written a macro for the "-axis" example as I discussed several, mention the c-axis quite a few times -- but this only came up in the final proofreading stage so I just fixed it the way I knew.

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
