Min word length: 6 characters
Min characters before hyphen: 2 characters
Min characters after hyphen: 3 characters
Max consecutive: 2 lines
I sent my book to the device, and here's an example screen:
Attachment 208424
I'm a bit confused. Why is "th-ing" being hyphenated? It's only 5 characters. Any thoughts? Also, do the settings in KTE override the LEFTHYPHENMIN and RIGHTHYPHENMIN in the hyphenation dictionary?
Thx! |
Ok, so I did some more testing and I think I figured out what's going on. It looks like kepubs do NOT respect the minimum word length setting. Hence, why "thing" became "th-ing", because it met the 2 characters before and 3 characters after the hyphen setting.
So what I've done is change the setting in KTE to 3 characters before and 4 characters after, so that only words 7 characters or more get hyphenated. Now, things look MUCH better in my kepubs.
I'm curious what you think about my approach, and thanks for your help!
