GREAT !

It means the hyphen algorithm of the kepub renderer ignores the rules of the hyphen dictionary in some circumstances unknown to me. By setting -webkit-hyphens : manual; we told the renderer to hyphen words only where we have set soft hyphens inside the book – which is the work of the plugin ‘hyphenate this’. It places invisible hyphens at the correct place according to the dutch dic (which is the same than the kepub renderer is using wrong). Thus we know the hyphen dictionary for dutch is correct. And by removing all mention of hyphen inside the css book we disable any css override by the publisher to ensure that the usage of soft hyphens are now correct.

Anyway, the tests on epub and on the glo HD has to be done (will do it during the week) since it’s working on the h2o.
