Short Words for Scribus is a special plug-in for adding non-breaking spaces before or after so called short words. These short words are specific to every national typography, e.g. according to Czech, Polish, and Slovak typographical standards it is not allowed to leave one letter conjunctions at line ends, if the line contains more than 25 signs. A common issue are measure and weight units, where for obvious reasons non-breaking spaces should be put in-between the preceding numbers and the units. Last but not least, there are plenty of abbreviated academic degrees, military ranks etc, which should not be separated from their owners. Although Scribus team cannot individually address every one of these national standards, one of the Scribus core team developers, Petr Van?k, decided to provide Scribus users with a plug-in, that can be easily customized to meet their specific needs.
