hypenation support inside textflow

Sorry, no hyphenation support. Actually, text support hasn't move forward since then, and there are more important text handling improvement tasks to complete before hyphenation is to be touched.

But feel free to add a blueprint, if you are not feeling like coding it yourself.

Thanks :) I'll see what I can do. I'm still very in love with the flow support in Inkscape. I'll try to first create soft-hypenation support (for annotated text) with binary search. And then probably allow Inkscape to annotate known words based on a wordlist.

Thanks mahfiaz, that solved my question.

Good to hear that, waiting...

It gets interesting. While I was reading the code I saw soft-hypen support already present in Layout-TNG-Compute.cpp; so I started to test what works and what doesn't. Now it seems it *does* break on annotated input, what it *doesn't* do is add the character! In this case even justification works out of the box :)

As a non-inkscape engineer; is it possible to update the virtual chunks used for displaying, with an hyphenation character?

            if (char_attributes.is_mandatory_break && span->end != span->start) {
                *last_emergency_break_span = *last_break_span = *span;
                if (is_soft_hypen)
                    para.replace(char_count, 1, 1, "-");
                TRACE(("span %d end of para; width = %f chars = %d\n", span->start.iter_span - para.unbroken_spans.begin(), span->width, char_count));
                return false;
            }

I'm going to try the above. If you understand my concept, could you give any feedback?

Stefan, could you please subscribe to inkscape-devel@ and discuss this? ;-) Thanks!

I am no developer, cannot help you. Could you ask it on <email address hidden> ? Or discuss on #inkscape.
