Good to have this overview! I abandoned hyphenation in a project after seeing it behave so different from LaTeX’s. Looks like I missed some options.
Related, I was looking at multi-column CSS for magazine or newspaper typesetting. The controls on column-breaking were not well supported, making it very difficult to not end up with ugly typography. Would love to see improvements there as well.
- erichurkman 8y agoIf you want real typesetting via CSS, you can use PrinceXML. It does great hyphenation, column breaking, and has some extensions to CSS to allow similar controls as you'd get from LaTeX's column options.

- undershirt 8y agoOops, I meant newspaper-like layouts for browser pages. But cool, I like the specific extensions PrinceXML has for column control. thanks for the reference, will try it if i need this for printing
