After reading this German thread and doing some experiments with specially crafted hyphenation rule sets, I concluded this standard Dutch hyphenation dictionary is much too complex for the simple hyphenation algorithm that is apparently used by the Access renderer. Therefore I started experimenting with a simple limited hyphenation dictionary with only the digits 1 and 2 in patterns, only based on rules of Dutch orthography and pronunciation. After a day of optimizing for apparent bugs I gave up on hyphenation in kepubs. Just one more reason to stick to standard epubs. I my current configuration text in epubs is hyphenated using the standard Dutch rules, but hyphenation in kepubs is disabled.

  • -epub-hyphens:auto;
  • -webkit-hyphens:auto;
  • hyphens:auto;
I haven't seen any useful effect of the *hyphen* attributes either.
