Aligning to Both Sides and Hyphenating a Word
If you select Aligning to Both Sides(Justify) in the PDF Theme, you can expect line changes in the middle of a word. Such a problem is trivial for Korean, Chinese and Japanese but for English, French or German, it can significantly cause degradations in the readability.
Web Viewer or EPUB file does not support hyphenation.
The problem can be resolved in the following ways.
A hyphen is inserted into the location where line change can occur in a word.
Determine the location of line change in a word by considering the scope of causing no degradations in the readability.
For instance, in an English word, computer, line change can occur as follows.
com-put-er Line change can occur between m and p, or t and e.
Since there are many words, determination of the hyphenation points of the word should be automated by use of a computer. There have been many attempts for that and the most popular examples is the one done by LaTeX.
For more details refer to Franklin Mark Liang’s journal called Word Hy-phen-a-tion by Com-put-er .
