ENVIRONMENT: Using Mac OS X Mountain Lion, Emacs 24.3, Org-mode 7.9.1. PROBLEM: When I export to LaTex, there's no hyphenation. The problem exists even when I manually insert hyphenation points with \- as shown below. This problem exists when I process a book manuscript, and also when I process a tiny file such as the following: =begin quote= #+LATEX_CLASS: book ** Affiliate a) One individual or organization ("Person") is an Affiliate of another Per\-son if, either directly or indirectly via one or more intermediaries, the first Person controls, or is controlled by, or is under common con\-trol with, the other Person. b) For this purpose, a\nbsp{}Person controls an organization if the Person has voting control\nbsp{}--- via legal, beneficial or equitable ownership; a\nbsp{}voting agreement; or otherwise\nbsp{}--- of securities of (or other interest in) the organization having more than the Minimum Voting Percentage (51% if the Agreement does not specify otherwise) of the aggregate right to vote for the organization's board of directors or comparable governing body. c) A\nbsp{}Person also controls an organization if the Person has a legally-enforceable right to select, or to prevent the selection, of a\nbsp{}majority of the members of that board or other body. =end quote= INVESTIGATION: I looked at the buffer *Org PDF LaTex Output*; the only occurrences of any "hyphen"-related string are: =begin quote= Babel and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, ge rman-x-2012-05-30, ngerman-x-2012-05-30, afrikaans, ancientgreek, ibycus, arabi c, armenian, basque, bulgarian, catalan, pinyin, coptic, croatian, czech, danis h, dutch, ukenglish, usenglishmax, esperanto, estonian, ethiopic, farsi, finnis h, french, friulan, galician, german, ngerman, swissgerman, monogreek, greek, h ungarian, icelandic, assamese, bengali, gujarati, hindi, kannada, malayalam, ma rathi, oriya, panjabi, tamil, telugu, indonesian, interlingua, irish, italian, kurmanji, latin, latvian, lithuanian, mongolian, mongolianlmc, bokmal, nynorsk, polish, portuguese, romanian, romansh, russian, sanskrit, serbian, serbianc, s lovak, slovenian, spanish, swedish, turkish, turkmen, ukrainian, uppersorbian, welsh, loaded. =end quote= EXPERIMENTS: In the course of a lot of Google-searching, I've tried, without success, the following: #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[english]{babel} and #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[english=hyphenation]{babel} All suggestions gratefully received. *--* * * *D.
