Description dplevin 2004-10-26 17:34:09 UTC
Hanging punctuation is used when a justified line of text ends with a
punctuation character.  The letter immediately preceding the puncuation
character is aligned flush with the margin as if the punctuation character
wasn't there, and the punctuation character "hangs" out past the margin.

This feature is common in typesetting and page layout software but is less
common in word processors.

The simplest ui would be a check box to toggle the feature and a field
containing the characters to hang.

As of OOo 3.1.1, this is not supported. I did not even know that such an option
existed. I was not aware that this was common anywhere. A good example is
provided here:
