Hyphenate

Hyphenate is a Statamic addon providing a modifier to hyphenate strings based on the TeX-Hyphenation algorithm provided by the org_heigl/hyphenator package.

The Hyphenate modifier will output a “soft hyphen” using the HTML entity ­. This entity marks wehre the browser should break if necessary.

Install via Composer

composer require timnarr/hyphenate

Usage

{{ title | hyphenate }}

Example

Let's assume we have a multilang page and a heading title, which holds "Hyphenation" in english and "Silbentrennung" in german.

We output title in your antlers file and use the hyphenate modifier like this:

<h1>{{ title | hyphenate }}</h1>

And the final HTML output is:

<h1>Silben&shy;tren&shy;nung</h1>
<h1>Hyphen&shy;a&shy;tion</h1>

Note

Frequent use of the hyphenate modifier, especially on long texts, can affect your page performance and slow down your website. Please use in combination with caching!
