Hi all,
I've always preferred legible over pretty, and my opinion is that most
time hyphenation's decrease in legibility and readability isn't worth
its aesthetic contribution. I was just going to turn off hyphenation
(however one would do that). But a friend reminded me that if I
failed to hyphenate a word like antidisestablishmentarianism, it would
do hideous things to the paragraph.
So now I'd like to tell LyX not to hyphenate unless it's really,
really, really, REALLY needed. I figure maybe there's some rubber-band
value somewhere, and I can set it higher or lower or whatever.
Anyone know of such a thing?
I'll make a slightly different suggestion:
\usepackage{microtype}
In my experience, this reduces hyphenation by 80% or so.
Otherwise, read this:
