value class Hyphens
Automatic hyphenation configuration.
Hyphenation is a dash-like punctuation mark used to join two-words into one or separate syl-lab-les of a word.
Automatic hyphenation is added between syllables at appropriate hyphenation points, following language rules.
However, user can override automatic break point selection, suggesting line break opportunities (see Suggesting line break opportunities below).
Suggesting line break opportunities:
-
\u2010("hard" hyphen) Indicates a visible line break opportunity. Even if the line is not actually broken at that point, the hyphen is still rendered. -
\u00AD("soft" hyphen) This character is not rendered visibly; instead, it marks a place where the word can be broken if hyphenation is necessary.
The default configuration for Hyphens = Hyphens.None
