Broken support for "soft hyphen" (SHY)
Marvin 2 and also the latest 3.0 has broken support for soft hyphens (SHY):
1) It incorrectly selects word if I want for example check a dictionary entry for a specific word. For example if I try to select a word "hippo-potamus" Marvin marks only the first part of the word "hippo" or the second part of the word "potamus". It is an incorrect behavior. Marvin should ignore "soft-hyphen" and select the entire word "hippopotamus". 2) Searching for a specific word in entire book is also broken. Marvin displays no results if I type in a search input box "hippopotamus". You can check problems in the attached EPUB book. Last edited by quiris; 06-21-2016 at 05:57 AM. |

@quiris - I can confirm that (1) is occurring here too (I'll try and fix this), but (2) seems to be working well. Can you give me a specific example in the book you posted so I can test it?

To replicate bug (2) you have to type searched word. If you copy and paste the word from a book into a search input box Marvin displays the results because iOS copies also a hidden SHY marks.
1) From Tools menu choose "Search" option. 2) Type into a search input box "Hanki" and click "Search" button on keyboard. Last edited by quiris; 06-21-2016 at 06:36 AM. |

Another probably SHY related bug. Check attached screenshots. The problem is visible with Bitter font and sideloaded Literata font.

The thing is, Marvin supports hyphenation. There is no need for soft hyphens in ePub.

PS. According Apple docs hyphenation data is available only for certain languages, currently English (US and GB), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian. Last edited by quiris; 07-05-2016 at 05:37 AM. |

ePub does not use HTML4.

Sure, it uses XHTML which is based on HTML4:

Soft hyphens are not part of the ePub standard. So any program not supporting soft hyphens with ePub is not breaking any rules.
