- Hello,
-
- I want to allow TeX to break lines after every character, without inserting
- hyphenation characters (hyphens). This should only happen in a controlled
- environment.
-
- The background is that I would like to print the labels of figures and
- equations (if in draft mode) in the margin of a paper-to-be to make
- referencing easier. This works quite well so far, but whenever labels are
- longer that the margin is wide (and this is most of the time), then they just
- stick into the body of the text. I would prefer it if they were broken over
- several lines without hyphenation. Of course, labels do not contain spaces
- and so TeX does not wrap them around even if I put them in a parbox of
- appropriate width. Therefore my quest for methods to make TeX break a line
- after every char as if it were a space(?).
-
- Any help greatly appreciated. And if anyone cares, I can also post my
- label-macro (with or without line breaking, depending on your response).
