Bug ID: 162491
Summary: add sidebar support for hyphenation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Hyphenation is the basic tool of typesetting, and automatic hyphenation offers
a lot of settings to fix the imperfections of the automatic hyphenation. These
settings need sidebar support to adjust the text quickly, like DTP software do.
Note: there is no perfect automatic hyphenation, that is why soft-hyphen based
semi-automatic hyphenation was (and is still) preferred by Writer (see
Tools->Language->Hyphenation...). This is not the best approach for most of the
languages, likely it was good only for German and similar languages, where
there were no good hyphenation dictionaries. Now it's possible to hyphenate
German text with automatic hyphenation, using the features, which are not
available for the soft-hyphen based hyphenation (e.g. max. consecutive
hyphenated lines, hyphenation across, setting bigger word break distance from
compound constituent boundaries).
Steps to Reproduce:
See paragraph (and for character) sidebar panels.
Actual Results:
No toggle button for automatic hyphenation. No icon for soft-hyphen based
hyphenation dialog.
Expected Results:
Toggle buttons and other controls for automatic hyphenation, and its settings.
Icon for soft-hyphen based hyphenation dialog. Add icon to disable automatic
hyphenation for hyphenated words.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
New hyphenation features of version 24.8:
