Ok, following your directions i've find where to start looking on calibre site.

I've never programmed Python and this could be a good opportunity to begin. I've given a quick look around and i see there are python classes for parsing (x)html and to implement hyphenation, so it shouldn't be that hard.

My idea is to do something very simple: parsing html, adding softhypens to text according to the book language, saving.

Thank you very much for Calibre. I love it.

P.S.

Is a plugin doing something similar already there so I can learn from it?
