Hyphenation CSS - SofieD - 08-06-2022
Hello,
I am sort of new to Freda but I've been working with e-books for a while. My native language is Dutch and often, hyphenation isn't the best as not every reader/software supports Dutch. Now, I usually turn off hyphenation alltogether so the readers won't have to deal with wrong hyphenation.
I include the following code in the CSS:
-epub-hyphens: none;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-ms-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
adobe-hyphenate: none;
This turns off hyphenation in about everything except Freda.
What code do I need to turn it off in the Freda reader?
Thank you in advance!

One enhancement that I do intend to add in the next Freda release is an improved hyphenation algorithm, so at least the hyphenation will be done better (it's very poor at the moment, I know).

For your own personal use of Freda, you can instruct the program not to hyphenate using the settings screen (by setting 'hyphenation' = 'no').

I have indeed used the settings not to hyphenate, but that of course only enhances my own reading experience and not that of other people reading the e-book. I'll just tell them to use this setting for now.
