And let me remind: as mentioned, and mentioned, you can ancounter just output of conversion. In such case you have (had) actually REALLY BROKEN document. And NO WAY to easily FIX it. Last edited by quinta@ebf.cz; 03-23-2024 at 12:43 PM. |

Time. There is some communication problem detected. Sorry, EN is not my mother language. I said "you can ancounter just output of conversion". And this probably is not clear enough.
So the situation is: - You have conversion output (docx with spaces missing). Which is quite bad, isnt it? - And you dont have source document. - And, of course, you dont have any contact usable to get source document. Than, you can be quite happy for the conversion is fixed. Because there were raised possibility of such situation will not happen again. On the other hand, fix raises complexity of conversion. And can cause problems of its maintainance it in the future, or cause immediatelly some not seen problems itself. That is, probably, why you can hate it. I, personally, am happy. |

Sorry but a soft hyphen serves as an invisible marker used to specify a place in text where a hyphenated break is allowed. Having a space immediately before or after a soft hyphen indicates that you want to place a hyphen between words if needed.
That is simply wrong no matter how you spin the excuses. Replacing a soft hyphen/space combination with a space corrects the issue. Out of curiosity, how often have you run into this issue with .docx to .epub conversions done by other people since you rather continuously mention not having the original document to be able to fix the issue at it's source. How many of those conversions by other people have you run into? Have you tried suggesting that their documents are poorly formatted and should be fixed? Or are you just spinning hypothetical rationales and in real life, have never run in the situation where the converted document is all you have? Last edited by DNSB; 03-23-2024 at 05:08 PM. |
