Configuration¶

Creating the sys folder¶

Create a sys folder in the TYPO3 backend and add words with optional word breaks to it. To set the optional word breaks use [-] at the position the words break should be.

Be aware that the defined words are case-sensitive.

Using the ViewHelper¶

To add the optional word breaks to a given string (e.g. headline) use the HyphenateViewHelper.:

<html data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true"
      xmlns:f="http://typo3.org/ns/TYPO3/CMS/Fluid/ViewHelpers"
      xmlns:h="http://typo3.org/ns/NeuesStudio/HyphenDictionary/ViewHelpers">
   <h:format.hyphenate content="{data.header}" />
   or
   <h:format.hyphenate>{data.header}</h:format.hyphenate>
   or
   {data.header -> h:format.hyphenate()}
</html>

You can use the minWordLength argument to define that only words with that length should be hyphenated.
