[xep-support] Disabling hyphenation?

Wed Aug 25 02:54:20 PDT 2004

Hello Tim,

For the current XEP version there are two options if it is necessary
to get rid of hyphenation config as a separate file on the disk:
1. In the xep.xml you can specify value of HYPHENLIST option using
   'data:' URL, that is actually embed hyphens.xml file into main
   configuration. 'data:' URI scheme described in RFC 2397 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt)
2. You can place hyphens.xml into XEP (or other) JAR and then address
   it from xep.xml using 'resource:' URL naming scheme. This 'resource
   URL' allows you to address any files available in the CLASSPATH
   including those inside JARs.

Note that if you do not need any hyphenation hyphens.xml can contain
as little as: <hyphens/>
The only requirement of the current XEP version is that this config
must be available to formatter in one or other way.

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

DTS> Bob,

DTS> According to the XSL-FO spec, I believe that "false" is the default value for the hyphenation property.

DTS> In any case, my problem is not turning off the hyphenation when rendering. I believe that I actually have hyphenation turned off just fine. The issue is that XEP appears to force me to include
DTS> hyphenation config files even if I never intend to use hyphenation. I'm trying to remove extraneous files from my installation, and I can't seem to get rid of the hyphenation config files.

DTS> So my question is: How can I configure XEP so as to not require the parsing of hyphenation config files, since I have no intention of using any hyphenation. Is it possible?

DTS> Thanks,

DTS> - Tim

DTS> Have you tried putting a hyphenate="false" property on the fo:root element
DTS> of XSL-FO documents?  That's how most people turn off hyphenation.
