## Hyphenation
HTML can be pre-processed with soft hyphens by the [Hypher](https://github.com/bramstein/hypher) library.
Pass the abbreviation a language code (such as `en-us` or `de`) when calling the renderer. You can install languages beyond those included the package.json using npm.
```
pagedjs-cli ./path/to/index.html --hyphenate en-us --output
```
## Development
Link and build the JS
```
npm install
npm link
npm install -g gulp
gulp watch
```
To display the output in the browser window before printing,
instead of outputting the file add the `--debug` flag.
```
pagedjs-cli ./path/to/index.html --debug
```
## Testing
Install Mocha with `npm install -g mocha`
Run the tests from the library root with the `mocha` command
```
mocha
```
## Docker
```bash
docker run -it -P -v $(pwd):/usr/src/pagedjs-cli fchasen/pagedjs-cli bash
```
