XTensions

Hyphenator XTHyphenator XT is an XTension for QuarkXPress 7 and earlier that optimizes hyphenation for any of more than 50 languages. This $349 XTension has a human-like ability to break words at line endings so that the hyphenated text is easily comprehensible to native speakers.

It uses the intelligent syllable technology from *TALO to find word roots and use cognitive psychology to determine breaks, rather than using spelling algorithms or dictionaries.)

In multilingual documents from QuarkXPress Passport, Hyphenator XT automatically detects the languages used in individual paragraphs.
