Hi All,

I just started using publican (v 2.8) on Ubuntu 1210. I have two questions:

1, when I build pdf, I find quite a lot word breaks at line-ends, with a
"-" added at the end of line. It does not look good. How to solve this
problem?

Oh! That sounds like you have the FOP hyphenation patterns installed. The license isn't very Open Source friendly so we've not done a lot of testing with them. [1]

I see that we have left hyphenate enabled though, so that explains why it is affecting the PDF. You can turn it off by tracking down where the publican pdf.xsl is on your system (probably /usr/share/publican/xsl/pdf.xsl) and turning it off.

Change:

<xsl:param name="hyphenate">true</xsl:param>

to:

<xsl:param name="hyphenate">false</xsl:param>

That will get reverted if you upgrade publican though.

If you have your own brand you can simply override that setting in your brand and you'll be set.

Another option is to track down where the hyphenation patters are and uninstall them if you can.

2, does 2.8 support formats=test with build?

I believe it does.

Cheers, Jeff.
