    Bob,

    According to the XSL-FO spec, I believe that "false" is the default value for the hyphenation property.

    In any case, my problem is not turning off the hyphenation when rendering. I believe that I actually have hyphenation turned off just fine. The issue is that XEP appears to force me to include hyphenation config files even if I never intend to use hyphenation. I'm trying to remove extraneous files from my installation, and I can't seem to get rid of the hyphenation config files.

    So my question is: How can I configure XEP so as to not require the parsing of hyphenation config files, since I have no intention of using any hyphenation. Is it possible?

    Thanks,

    - Tim

    Have you tried putting a hyphenate="false" property on the fo:root element
    of XSL-FO documents? That's how most people turn off hyphenation.

    > I have experimented with a variety of changes in this file. What I can't
    figure out is how to say "I don't want to hyphenate, so please don't report
    errors when you can't find the hyphenation files". None of my experiments
    have been able to do this, and the XEP documentation provides no information
    that I can find.
