Hyphenation Exceptions?
Posted: 2015-06-23 21:10:23
Hi,
I understand from an older thread (http://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4541) that the hyphenation dictionaries of NWP were updated to provide better quality.
However, being a German user myself, I still experience problems with the German hyphenation every so often in the current version of NWP.
From my POV, the basic issue is that (at least German) hyphenation is so complex that there will never be a hyphenation dictionary that will always get it right.
So I don’t think the issue is to get an “even better” hyphenation dictionary, but to allow the user to specify hyphenation exceptions, akin to adding specific entries to the spelling dictionary. I think that’s the only solution that will work 100%.
Unfortunately, when testing NWP, I could find no way to do this. Is this correct?
If so, this would be my most important feature request. At least in German, because of its lengthy words, you just cannot do without hyphenation, and there has to be a way to make this work 100% of the time. Simply speaking, I would love to make NWP my main text processor, but simply cannot do it without this feature.
Of course, if NWP can do this already, I would be very grateful if someone could show me how.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Uli
