No hyphenation on left aligned texts available? #285

Closed endverbraucher closed 8 months ago

endverbraucher commented 1 year ago

I'm using the latest plato version (0.9.34) on a Kobo Libra 2. There is one thing I'm missing: hyphenation when text alignment is set to left. Hyphenation works great when text alignment is set to justify, but I can't get it to use hyphens for left aligned texts. (tried it with user css). Are there ways to do this?

A little bit more context: I read a lot german books, and the german language tends to have a lot of long words. And hyphenation improves readability here. I prefer to do this with left aligned texts, because the uneven wordspacing on justify aligned texts sometimes feel distracting to me.

There’s a bug and I’m working on fixing it. But please note that properly hyphenating German words requires extended hyphenation patterns that aren't supported yet.

Thanks for fixing the bug. Ping me if I can help with testing the fix! Also thank you for pointing to the missing support for extended hyphenation patters and the background infos. I think the support for "basic" hyphenation patterns will still improve the situation here.
