Incorrect hyphen right after apostrophe in French

Open MDLC01 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

In French, a hyphen can be added right after an apostrophe, which is incorrect.[^1][^2]

This can be reproduced in Typst with the following code.

#set text(lang: "fr")
#set page(width: 1.8cm)
#set par(justify: true)
Aujourd'hui

Au- // jourd’- // hui

Note that this does not happen when the language is set to English.

[^1]: Wikipedia (fr) states "On ne coupe jamais à la position d’une apostrophe", which means "One should never hyphen on an apostrophe." [^2]: http://plumefrancaise.fr/la-cesure-en-typographie (fr)
