How is it possible to prevent tabulary
environment hyphenating table headers?
Perhaps redefining \tyformat
, but I can't find any reference to this command.
EDIT
As suggested in comments, I tried with: \newcolumntype{}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabulary}
\begin{document}
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}J}
\begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{YYYYY}
\hline
& label 1 with much more text than is needed & label 2 is also very long & label 3 & label 4 \\
\hline
1 & item 1 & item 2 & item 3 & item 4 but again with too much text \\
2 & A & B & C & D \\
\hline
\end{tabulary}
\end{document}
Unfortunately The fourth column gets hyphenated, while I'd like only line breaks. I don't see differences with an ordinary {JJJJJ}
in place of the custom column type.

If using
\raggedright
then latex will only hyphenate if the word is longer than the line width, so you just need to make sure that you don't get ridiculously small columns. I settymin
as 1cm here. Note you don't need to defineY
for ragged right columns astabulary
pre-definesL
for essentially the same thing.
