blankhyphen parameter

Use the blankhyphen parameter of the LoadUpdate configuration file to specify how to handle a hyphen when one is encountered. If set to ON, any hyphen or minus sign encountered whithin a section of text being indexed is replanced by a blank. If set to OFF, the disposition of the hyphen or minus sign is dependent on the value of skiphyphen. If both skip hyphen and blankhyphen are OFF the hyphen or minus sign remains in the text.

skiphyphen and blankhyphen may not both be set to ON, but both may be OFF.
