Unexpected new line after hyphen

[me-oct]

Thank you for providing such a powerful and helpful PDF generator.

We run a system with the thinreports 0.10.2 to create PDF files.
We have encountered a same problem with the issue "Unexpected new line after hyphen" discussed here; thinreports/thinreports-generator#50.
I understand the cause, but there is no solution found in the discussion.
What we can do as a workaround at this moment is to replace hyphens with other visually similar characters.
I would appreciate if you could give me a solution to the problem or any better workaround.

Thinreports uses Prawn to generate PDFs, but there is no option in Prawn to disable this behavior (hyphenation).

Unfortunately, I think the only current workaround is to replace the hyphen with a visually similar character such as a non-breaking hyphen.

report.item(:text).value(text.gsub("\u002d", "\u2011"))

hidakatsuya-san,

Thank you for the clear explanation.
OK. We will take the workaround option.

If you like, you can try the prawn-disable_word_break gem for an alternative solution.

# Gemfile
gem 'thinreports'
+ gem 'prawn-disable_word_break'

It's a newly build gem and what we wanted. Thank you for the useful gem.

It's a pity that we use ruby 2.4 and thinreports 0.10.2 + prawn 2.2.2 for the system, which are not supported by the gem.
We will try it at the next opportunity.
