    Hi.

    First of all this question was brought up because I've noticed that IND CS5 handles hyphenation of Portuguese compound words properly, however, CS4 does not, and that's what I use at work.

    I'm working on a project that's in English and I'm not sure of the proper way to hyphenate these words. Example, in Portuguese, the word “tick-tock” would be hyphenated as:

    tick-

    -tock

    (The hyphen is repeated, as the word itself already contains a hyphen.) Does the same apply in English or would it simply be:

    tick-

    tock

    Is there any difference between hyphenation rules in US and UK English? (We're working with UK English.) Hope you can shed some light over this. Googling turned up nothing. How strange… Thank you for reading.
