Exclamation Hyphenation in Calibre Viewer
Hello,

Does Viewer support automatic hyphenation ? So far, the texts I have seen displayed in Caliber Viewer do not have automatic hyphenation. That's a shame ! Is there something to do to enable this, or is hyphenation not implemented in Viewer? If so, support for automatic hyphenation would be a more than welcome feature.

No it doesnt. Use the Polish books tool to add soft hyphens if this important to you.

Thank you for your reply. What are soft hyphens ? What is the Polish books tool ? Would it be possible, in the not too distant future, to improve Viewer to support automatic hyphenation like Adobe Digital Editions? I would also like to thank you for all the development of Calibre, because it is a very complete and absolutely brilliant software.

Hello,
I found a nice plugin called "Hyphenate this !" by Saulius P. I installed it. I have no idea how it works, but it works ! Now automatic hyphenation works in Viewer. However, you have to apply "Hyphenate this" book by book if you want it to work.

Similar GUI plugins (Modify Epub, Count Pages, Extract ISBN etc) can be applied against multiple books.

This issue got me curious so I ran the native Calibre Polish tool in one book, just to take a look:

vs

Click image for larger version Name: hyphenation off, MWSnap0870 2022-11-18, 22_48_29.png Views: 130 Size: 165.1 KB ID: 197860

On first glance, I don't see much difference... Is there, perhaps, an optimization for reading in other languages, with hyphenation?

hyphenation is mostly useful in european languages with longer words, english not so much.
