Hyphenation Trouble
Permalink
Hi, I am new to Concrete 5 and was asked to do some editing to an existing site.
We are trying to eliminate the breaking up and hyphenating of words within paragraphs on our website.
Does anyone know a way to do this?
I tried manually just putting in more spaces but that was a disaster.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

The themes we use are called TSC Realty Partners - site design and Bluewater Realty Capital - site design which I am assuming were made specifically for our website.
I have attached a screen shot.

Are the hyphens manually added when adding content to a page, or do they automatically show up?
The best way that I can think of to get rid of the hyphens would be to "justify" your paragraph text.
The downside to doing this is that it may make the text in between words appear varied and somewhat stretched. However, you will end up with a nice clean right edge.

p { text-align: justify; }

The hyphens are being added automatically. They were not typed in. When it is in the editing text box everything looks perfect but as soon as I "Preview My Edits" it looks completely different.
I tried to justifying it but it still breaks the words.
I went in to the text editing box and clicked on html. When the html box pops up there is a box checked in the upper right corner that says Word Wrap...I tried to uncheck that and save but it also did nothing.
Any other suggestions? :)

Ok, you may want to try this instead:
Let me know if that works.
p { -webkit-hyphens: auto; -moz-hyphens: auto; hyphens: auto; }
Let me know if that works.
Oh, by the way, you can learn more about the hyphenation property here:

I will try this. Should I open the text editing box and put/change this somewhere in the html code? (Sorry, as you can clearly see, I have no idea what I am doing haha)
Do you have (FTP) access to the template files or is there someone who has access?
I am not sure because I don't really know what that is. How do I find that? :)
FTP is a way to access the concrete5 files on your server and in this case make some changes to your template. For this you have to know your ftp username and password (not username and password for concrete5).
Sorry but for me it's not possible to solve the problem through the forum. You should talk to your webmaster... ;-)
