Discussion - EVE / Word wrapping?
« on: January 12, 2024, 11:02:21 PM »
Using a BT816 and I've come across an interesting problem. By and large word wrap works as expected, but that dastardly German language has reared its head and proving that nothing is ever simple. I've got some German words that are just ludicrously long. For instance, "Druckregelungsmagnetschalter". Nearly every other language I can get to fit on our screen, but thanks to the German tendency to turn a short phrase into a single word I've got text scrolling off either end of the visible screen.
Are there any options within the EVE engine to handle automatic hyphenation and word-wrap for situations like this? I've tried adding a hyphen at a good point within that word, but the Fill option doesn't handle or observe it. I hate to make our text even smaller because it's already on the margin of hard to read. Otherwise the only other option I have is to perhaps insert a line return into the string.
