Better Hyphenation

Open this archive and fix on LEFTHYPHENMIN 3
You will not have such hyphenation.

The jswolf have 2 and the Kobo 5. More frequently with 2 but the bug is here.

[tartanpion]

And what about a soft hyphen epub before converting in kepub?

Soft hyphens may stop your dictionary lookup working (although I haven't tested it to confirm).

I have seen. Therefore, I recommended you put 3.

[JSWolf]

@tartanpion I'll post a version of the dictionary with Left at 3 and you can test it.

[JSWolf]

@tartanpion, I've posted a beta version of the French hyphenation dictionary using left/right of 3/3. See how that goes. Please let me know if it fixes your problem.

Attachment removed. See the new beta.

I’m not sure, because I don’t use hyphens at all, but in my opinion this is a typo

COUMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN
COUMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN

If you write correctly, then

COMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN
COMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN

Maybe this works for Kobo ...

LEFTHYPHENMIN: minimal hyphenation distance from the left end of the word
RIGHTHYPHENMIN: minimal hyphenation distance from the right end of the word
COMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN: min. hyph. dist. from the left compound word boundary
COMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN: min. hyph. dist. from the right comp. word boundary

Something like this.

In the question above, I would put:
LEFTHYPHENMIN 3
RIGHTHYPHENMIN 2

And looked to see if this would solve the indicated problem.

New beta.

Thanks. I got the spelling from the original dictionary.

No...
and no better result with soft hyphen, unless I am mistaken.

Edit :
I have reloaded the same book in parallel and it seems the bad formatting is gone for the new transfered book but not for the old. Kobo keeps in memory the hyphenation ?

Soft hyphens do not work for ePub or KePub. Forget them.

The newly transferred copy should be overwriting the old one.

Soft hyphens do work in both ePubs and kepubs. They might have side effects, but, some people might prefer those problems. Just as you prefer the "better" typesetting of ePubs over all the extra features in kepubs.

Update to add in a Hungarian hyphenation dictionary.

Hi, does this English Hyphenation Dictionary still works with the newest FW (4.22.x) on Kobo Aura H2o?

Also is there any option of Dictionary lookup history in Kobo Nickel?

Yes, the English hyphenation dictionary does work with the newest firmware. In fact, it will work with 3.19.x and later. I cannot say about earlier but most likely yes.

[JSWolf]

I've updated the English hyphenation dictionary in the first post of this thread. Please download it and install it. It should work better with KePub and work just as well with ePub.
