+</head><body>
+<h3>Preventing hyphenation of a particular word</h3>
+<p>It's quite possible for (<em>any</em>) hyphenation of a particular word
+to seem "completely wrong", so that you want to prevent it being
+hyphenated.
+<p>If the word occurs in just one place, put it in a box:
+<pre>
+ \mbox{oddword}
+</pre>
+(Plain TeX users should use <code>\</code><code>hbox</code>, and take care at the start
+of paragraphs.) However, boxing the word is not really advisable
+unless you are sure it only occurs once.
+<p>If the word occurs commonly, the best choice is to assert a
+non-hyphenation for it:
+<pre>
+ \hyphenation{oddword}
+</pre>
+This hyphenation exception (with no break points) will be used in
+preference to what TeX's hyphenation algorithm may come up with.
+<p>In a multilingual document, repeat the exception specification for
+each language the word may appear in. So:
+<pre>
+ \usepackage[french,english]{babel}
+ \selectlanguage{english}
+ \hyphenation{oddword}
+ \selectlanguage{french}
+ \hyphenation{oddword}
+</pre>
+(note that <i>babel</i> will select the default language for the
+document - English, in this case - at <code>\</code><code>begin{document}</code>.)
