One question about Sigil 1.9.20

RbnJrg · 09-04-2022, 04:05 PM

Under Arch Linux, I compile my own version of Sigil. But now, by reading the Sigil page on Arch, under the dependies of the package, I saw the following:

Code:

hyphen-en (optional) - for English hyphenation support in plugins

What that means? Can Sigil plugins supports hyphenation? If so, how must I compile Sigil in order that, for example, Readium, Bibi and EpubJS plugins can show hyphens? I have installed in my Arch the hyphen-en and hyphen-es packages.

No idea. Never heard of it. Sigil has no built-in hyphenation support.

I'm not sure why they added that message. The hyphen-en package is merely a hunspell hyphen rules library. Sigil makes no use of it that I know of. Pretty sure it was wishful thinking on someone's part at Arch.
