Forum How do I...?

Are there any settings for paragraph rendering in PrinceXML?

Hi all!

In InDesign (and other typesetting apps) I can adjust some settings regarding how the engine renders a paragraph. I attached a screenshot, where you can see those settings ("Hyphenation & Justification" settings).

You can define the optimal word spacing ("Wortabstand"), a range, in which automatic letter-spacing will be applied ("Zeichenabstand"), and a range, in which the glyphs will be distorted (`scaleX()` in CSS) on a per line basis.

This Youtube video shows and explains in detail, what I mean:

Is this possible in PrinceXML? Or do you plan to make something like this possible?

Thanks,
Tobias
