Hyphenation of formatting

How to hyphenate formatting

formatting is a polysyllabic word with 3 syllables. Using the Knuth-Liang algorithm, we calculated the hyphenation for the word you’ve entered. However, this hyphenation has not been verified against authoritative sources and may be approximate. This is because the algorithm relies on pre-defined patterns that may not cover all exceptions, contextual variations, or irregular spellings. We are working to verify hyphenations against trusted sources to ensure greater accuracy. For now, formatting is hyphenated as:

for-mat-ting
Syllables Count
3
Characters Count
10
Alpha-numeric Characters Count
10
Hyphens Count

Hyphenation performed using the Knuth-Liang word-division algorithm. This result is approximate and has not been verified against authoritative sources.

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.

Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
