hi all,

not having much luck googling, so was wondering if anyone knows how/if it's possible to control how a reader/app (mostly ADE and RMSDK) hyphenates.

i know that in iBooks i can set

Code:

-webkit-hyphens:0; hyphens:0;

whoops—as per Jellby's comment below, of course i meant:

Code:

-webkit-hyphens:none;
hyphens:none;

, but of course this doesn't work on just about everything else out there. also, i'd rather set lower bounds in minimum number of letters that are hyphenated rather than just turning them off.

i read some posts suggesting inserting soft-hyphens everywhere, but, apart from the labour in putting them in, they also make the text non-searchable if a word contains a soft-hyphen.

any suggestions/advice would be appreciated!

thanks
