[texhax] hyphenation

[Michael Barr]

Since the original post asked about confining the non-hyphenation to only 
a portion of the file, I am surprised no one has mentioned the obvious 
solution, which appears below.  Note that the blank line that precedes the 
} is necessary since the hyphenpenalty has to be in effect when tex 
realizes that the paragraph is finished.  I suppose this could all be 
dressed into a latex environment, but I have not tried that.
