--- Comment #5 from [email protected] ---
I was able to have the noted proper nouns also hyphenated on LibreOffice 25.8.1
as well. I also tested with Apple Pages and received the same results; both
attached images to note. I also tested with two other proper Nouns, Washington
and Jonathan. This is where I was surprised, Washington did also hyphenate, but
Jonathan never did. Without further testing, it is are to conclude whether the
length is the factor or something else, but it appears some proper nouns will
not be hyphenated at this time. I looked a little more into the automated
Hyphenation in other text editors handling Proper nouns with Hyphenates. Only
two text editors I was able to find were able to handle proper nouns not being
hyphenated: Adobe InDesign has a setting in the hyphenating settings to not
hyphenate capitalized words, and Microsoft Word, which uses internal dictionary
rules to determine where to hyphenate. I do not have access to these text
editors, so I was unable to perform testing comparing the results to these
editors. This implies to me that this is a newer feature for automated
Hyphenation settings that handle proper nouns. Based on the testing, it seems
LibreOffice uses a similar idea to Microsoft Word, which uses an internal
dictionary. I suggest the focus of this ticket is to improve the Proper noun
dictionary or current feature used to include more proper nouns at this time.
