Description Regina Henschel 2017-03-23 23:39:09 UTC
This is translated feature request from http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/de/discuss/msg20770.html

Request: Add an option to exclude a portion of text from hyphenation. There is a workaround to set the language to "none". But then you loose spell check and thesaurus.

ODF 1.2 has already the suitable attribute "fo:hyphenate" in section 20.188, part 1. Currently LibreOffice does not even keep the attribute, if it is present.

Comment 4 Heiko Tietze 2021-12-13 11:01:58 UTC
I see no difference to v1.2 20.188 fo:hyphenate. What exactly has changed? 

Hyphenation is enabled for whole paragraph via Text Flow > Hyphenation = Automatically. So we need this option on the character properties dialog and I suggest to have one frame labeled "Hyphenation" under Spacing containing the checkbox "[ ] Exclude from hyphenation".

The topic reminds me on bug 131487 where spell-checking should be suppressed for mixed-language words. We could name the frame Options and have another checkbox there.

No content change, but section number is shifted from ODF 1.2 to ODF 1.3.

Comment 7 László Németh 2024-01-19 11:47:22 UTC
Description of the previous commit:

tdf#106733 xmloff: keep fo:hyphenate in character formatting

In the case of character formatting, map fo:hyphenate to the
unused CharNoHyphenation character property to keep it
during ODF import/export instead of losing it completely.

This is the first step to disable hyphenation for single
words or text spans in paragraphs with automatic hyphenation.

Note: using fo:hyphenate as character property is part of
the ODF standard.

Note: the old workaround to disable hyphenation, changing
the language of the text to None had got some serious fallbacks:
losing spell checking and losing language-dependent text
layout (supported by both OpenType and Graphite font engines
in LibreOffice).

Comment 9 László Németh 2024-01-19 16:42:55 UTC
Description of the previous commit:

tdf#106733 sw: implement CharNoHyphenation

Implement CharNoHyphenation character property to
disable automatic hyphenation of words in paragraphs
with enabled hyphenation.

Fix also fo:hyphenate mapping to CharNoHyphenation
using automatic inversion of their boolean values
defined by xmloff's XML_TYPE_NBOOL, as suggested by
Michael Stahl.

Update also the test for tdf#159102 to check the available
hyphenation dictionary (also custom hyphenation patterns
work only with supported locales of the hyphenator).

Note: patch of thints.cxx contains also partial revert
of commit 53b289eabb3d265b47bc7fb6cc430291c97f0c0b
"use more TypedWhichId".

Commit description:

tdf#106733 sw cui: add CharNoHyphenation checkbox

On Position tab of Character formatting dialog window
as a new checkbox "Exclude from hyphenation" (UX design
by Heiko Tietze).

With this, it's possible to disable hyphenation
with direct character formatting (e.g. combined with
Find All), or using character styles, and setting
"Exclude from hyphenation" in them. This feature
is conformant to the OpenDocument standard, and
unlike the previous locale=None workaround, it keeps
spell checking and locale dependent text layout.

Note: Clear direct formatting (Ctrl-M) is an
alternative way to remove the enabled CharNoHyphenation
(e.g. in version 24.2, where this commit won't
be back-ported).

screenshot of kept spell checking and text layout

Disabled hyphenation of the word “Ökobio” in paragraph 2 and 3. Using the old workaround in paragraph 2 (modifying language of the word to [None]) resulted lost text layout and spell checking. With the new “Exclude from hyphenation” character formatting (see bottom of the dialog window) in paragraph 3, the word “Ökobio” keeps spell checking and text layout: “Ö” (O with umlaut) gets wide dots only in German because of locale dependent font features of Linux Libertine (Display G)
