hyphenation for labels

Open hofstef opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When work objects or actors have long names, these are not hyphenated. As a result, the line is broken after a fixes length. Readability of the labels decreases. Languages with longer words like German are especially affected.

Describe the solution you'd like Hyphenation already works* for the title and description. It should work for labels as well. *) depending on your language and browser. Works only in Firefox and Chrome for Android/Mac, see https://caniuse.com/#search=hyphen

Describe alternatives you've considered Word-wrap is already enabled and not a solution.

Turns out this is not easily fixable as the labels are SVG and not HTML, so turning hyphenation on does not help. Hyphens are also not supported in bpmn-js.
