Hyphenation |
|
Nota Bene's auto hyphenation feature, when active, will break long words at the end of a line, inserting hyphens as necessary. By default, the auto hyphenation feature is not active. You can activate this feature for the current document, or you can change your default settings so that it will be active for all future documents. When it is active, you can override auto hyphenation for a single word, so that the word you specify will not be broken at the end of a line.
When you activate auto hyphenation, you will be able to specify how long a word must be before it is hyphenated and the minimum number of letters before and after the hyphen. The default setting for auto hyphenation is 6,3,3, where 6 is the minimum number of characters in a hyphenated word, 3 is the minimum number of characters that can appear before a hyphen, and the last 3 is the minimum number of characters that can appear after the hyphen. Words that exceed these minimums will not be hyphenated at the end of a line.
Nota Bene chooses where to hyphenate words based on a series of rules and a hyphenation exception dictionary. The program first looks in the hyphenation exception dictionary and applies standard rules only if the word is not in the dictionary. The dictionary can be edited. Words that are not included (e.g., proper names) can be added, or you can change the place where a hyphen will be inserted in a given word.
Nota Bene provides a variety of different hyphens and dashes that can be inserted in several different ways.
