17.15.1.37 doNotHyphenateCaps

This element specifies whether or not words comprised of all capital letters shall be hyphenated within a given document when automatic hyphenation is specified via the autoHyphenation element (17.15.1.10).

If this element is omitted, then words in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS shall be hyphenated when the document is hyphenated.

[Example: Consider a document which is automatically hyphenated containing the following paragraph of content:

If words in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS must not be hyphenated, this requirement would be specified by adding the following WordprocessingML to the document settings part:

<w:doNotHyphenateCaps w:val="true"/>

The resulting content would not be hyphenated:

The doNotHyphenateCaps element val set to true, specifying that the first line of text to end with the word SHORT as the word HYPHENATION had to be moved to the second line since it could not fit in its entirety on the first line.

Conversely, setting the doNotHyphenateCaps element val set to off (the default) caused the first line of text to contain a hyphenated portion of the word HYPHENATION as hyphenation of words comprised of all capital letters is permitted. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
