HTML: Hyphenation of Product Names [sf#190]
Reported by taroth21 on 2013-10-25 13:49 UTC Seems the hyphenation of product names does not work as expected in HTML: I just stumbled across the following hyphenation for "OpenStack" in the HTML output: "OpenS-tack". Is it possible to pass hyphenation patterns for product names?
Commented by tom_schr on 2013-10-25 15:26 I fear, this is a Firefox bug.
See also Ticket[#33]. We could use special "markers" to help the hyphenation algorithm.
Here is a list of these marker which we could try (all hexadecimal values):
- U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN
- U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
- U+2011 NON-BREAKING HYPHEN
- U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT
- U+2060 WORD JOINER
- U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE
Use the following notation to include the above character in your XML:
&#xUNICODE;
For additional information, maybe the article about Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm contains some useful information. Especially Table 1 contains a list of breaking codes.
The Wikipedia article contains detailed information about the line breaking algorithm (German only): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode-Zeilenumbruch-Algorithmus
Commented by tom_schr on 2013-12-03 09:12 If we know all the details, the information herein could lead to a informative section about how to influence linebreak: how to avoid and how to break.
