Wrapping a word/text with a hyphen

[LukasGin]

Hi,

I am using "setWordWrapMode(QTextOption::WrapAnywhere)" in a QTextBrowser to signal the text wrap mode. The wrapping works fine but I've got no hyphen (-) at the end of a text line. Is there a way to set the word wrapping mode to enable a hyphen at lineend?

Thanks a lot and best regards
Lukas

@LukasGin
I do not see any documentation anywhere which indicates that Qt would put in a hyphen for you where it breaks a word to wrap. Are you saying you are putting in your own QChar::SoftHyphen?

[LukasGin]

No, I dont putting my own hyphen. It currently just wraps a word at the line end without a hyphen. What I want to have (if possible) is to force Qt to insert a hyphen at the correct word position for hyphenation at a linened.

Hi @LukasGin and welcome

I don't think there is a predefined way to add a hyphen and the end of a line, when a word was split.

I only thing I can think of to archive this, is to make your own widget and override paintEvent and add a hyphen in the needed places.

Take a look at this elided label example, where there's done something similar
