&lt;bramus> fantasai: link to comment<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: can you turn on hyphenation but only if it overflows?<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai:<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: we could do this by adding keyword to overflow-wrap or hyphens property<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: hyphens controls hyphentation. values none/manual/auto<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: overflow-wrap controls what you are going to do with overflow<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: want to know if we want this addition and which one we prefer<br>
&lt;florian> q+<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: fine with adding. slight preference for value in hyphens<br>
&lt;astearns> ack florian<br>
&lt;bramus> florian: opposite slight preference for adding to overflow-wrap. but otoh hyphens prop also related of course<br>
&lt;jfkthame> q+<br>
&lt;astearns> ack jfkthame<br>
&lt;bramus> florian: between line-break/word-break/overflow-wrap, lots of properties. [missed] adding extra keyword to that property keeps it that way.<br>
&lt;jensimmons> q+<br>
&lt;bramus> jfkthame: not sure if this is a good idea. its a very specific property. we already have other properties for authors, e.g. hyphenate-limit-zone<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: you propose to setting that property to something close of width to only allow hyphentation in overflow cases?<br>
&lt;astearns> ack jensimmons<br>
&lt;bramus> jfkthame: i think it would have that effect<br>
&lt;bramus> jensimmons: seems like a valid use case.<br>
&lt;bramus> jensimmons: I can see ppl putting this in their default stylesheets and turning it on for everything. not sure on how exactly to do it<br>
&lt;bramus> fantasai: we should take back and check with hyphenate-limit-zone<br>
&lt;bramus> florian: same<br>
&lt;bramus> astearns: let’s take back to issue with jfkthame’s proposal<br>
