Syntax
Values
no-limit-
Indicates that hyphenation is not limited based on the number of consecutive hyphenated lines. In the flow above the consecutive hyphenated lines limit would be an infinitely large positive number.
<integer>-
Indicates the maximum number of successive hyphenated lines.
For instance, if 2, then no more than 2 successive lines may end with a hyphenated word. If 0 then no lines may end with a hyphenated word. (Hyphenation is effectively disabled.)
Negative values are not allowed.
Formal syntax
no-limit | <integer>
