 The subtype numbers~4 and~5 belong to the \quote{of-f-ice} explanation given elsewhere.
 
+The penalty field is always 0 by default. When it is 0, line breaking will use
+hyphenpenalty or exhyphenpenalty (default behaviour). When it is set to a
+non-zero value, line breaking will use the specified value. You can only change
+this field on the Lua side.
+
 A warning: never assign a node list to the pre, post or replace field
 unless you are sure its internal link structure is correct, otherwise
 an error may be result.
