[css-text-3] Hyphenation usages in CJK #785
Description
Got a feedback from Japanese web developers that there's no good way to minimize expansions of justified text.
If the text is purely CJK, there won't be much expansions; mostly only at break exceptions, but when long English words appear in the CJK text, lines may expand too much. He then:
- Tried
hyphens: auto, but since pages havelang=ja, hyphenations don't work. - Tried
word-break: break-all, but Gecko and WebKit ignore CJK line breaking rules, and hit a bug in Blink. - Using full-width alphabet (breaks like
break-all) is technically possible but don't want to take that route.
So I'm thinking a few possible ideas:
hyphens-langto override the languages only for hyphenations.- For languages that do not hyphenate, but often mix English, automatically fallback to English.
Thoughts?
