Forma Does the Forma Automatically Do Hyphens?

enuddleyarbl · 06-15-2021, 10:27 PM

Since I just came from a Kindle, I've been using the Hyphenate This! plugin to get hyphens in my AZW3 books. I see that the KoboTouchExtended (KTE) driver also has an option to Hyphenate Files. Before I look into disabling Hyphenate This and enabling the KTE version, does the Forma, itself, automatically do its own hyphenating? Or, is one of these tools needed?

You don't need to use Hyphenate This! plugin with Kobo because Hyphenation works out of the box, at lest for supported languages. I use it only for my Kindle, when I use AZW3 format.

The KTE driver option to Hyphenate Files, if I understand it correctly, is useful to enable Hyphenation when it is settled to "none" in css. This is not the case of the majority of books I have seen but sometimes it can happen.
