Hi,

I begun to write my very own set of macros (among other things, my principal
goal is the intelligent formatting of a paragraph: put in a line a wider space
between the words in order to have a shorter one somewhere under).
I actually have another idea: someone told me about putting the hyphenation
character (what we call the \(hy char) in the right margin:

Example:
    This is a very
  little paragraph
  with  a very spe-
  cial  way of put-
  ting the hyphena-
  tion character.
       
As you can see, the '-' is in the margin and not in the text.
But the .sgc request doesn't allow something like:
.shc \Z'\(hy'
Do you see a way of doing this ?
In fact, I also have the idea of putting the half of the \(hy after the
right margin, in order to have half of \(hy before the margin and the
other half after the margin. Say \(hy is -- and have a look at:

Example:
    This is a very
  little paragraph
  with a very spe--
  cial way of...

-- 
        ,--._
      .'o    `-.__
      |     (~'   ~~--.__
      ),-.'  `. '' ,,    ~`-.

   //        ~.   `._,,   ,'  <address@hidden>
   '   _tb_    `-.___.,-~'
                   \  \                 Brest
                  _/ _/
