+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label hyphenaccents</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Accented words aren&rsquo;t hyphenated</h3>
+<p/>TeX&rsquo;s algorithm for hyphenation gives up when it encounters an
+<code>\</code><code>accent</code> command; there are good reasons for this, but it means
+that quality typesetting in non-English languages can be difficult.
+<p/>For TeX macro packages, you can avoiding the effect by using an
+appropriately encoded font (for example, a Cork-encoded font &mdash; see
+<a href="FAQ-ECfonts.html">the EC fonts</a>) which contains accented
+letters as single glyphs. LaTeX users can achieve this end simply
+by adding the command
+<pre>
+ \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
+</pre>
+to the preamble of their document. Other encodings (notably
+LY1, once promoted by Y&amp;Y inc) may be used
+in place of T1. Indeed, most current 8-bit TeX font
+encodings will &lsquo;work&rsquo; with the relevant sets of hyphenation patterns.
+<p/>One might hope that, with the many aspirant successors to TeX such
+as
+ <a href="FAQ-omegaleph.html">Omega</a>, <a href="FAQ-luatex.html">LuaTeX</a> and
+ <a href="FAQ-extex.html">ExTeX</a>,
+
+all of which base their operations on Unicode, that the whole basis of
+encodings will change.
