+
+<p>When an output line is nearly full, it is uncommon for the next word
+collected from the input to exactly fill it&mdash;typically, there is room
+left over only for part of the next word. The process of splitting a
+word so that it appears partially on one line (with a hyphen to indicate
+to the reader that the word has been broken) with its remainder on the
+next is <em class="dfn">hyphenation</em>. Hyphenation points can be manually
+specified; GNU <code class="code">troff</code> also uses a hyphenation algorithm and
+language-specific pattern files (based on those used in TeX) to
+decide which words can be hyphenated and where.
+</p>
+<p>Hyphenation does not always occur even when the hyphenation rules for a
+word allow it; it can be disabled, and when not disabled there are
+several parameters that can prevent it in certain circumstances.
+See <a class="xref" href="Manipulating-Hyphenation.html">Manipulating Hyphenation</a>.
