Hi Lele,

I have mostly got hyphenation working using Pyphen. Currently about 5 tests fail because of simple paragraph corner cases 
involving splits.

I will try and finish a working version next week.

Unfortunately my simple approach is also trying to hyphenate things like URLS which I suppose should be handled separately.

Also currently I lack a way to get just the word and not non-alpahabetics. I suppose that should be easy if we know what 
constitutes hyphenatable matter. Any ideas welcome.

I am presently running with the idea of using a string setting to indicate what language so my settings override has

hyphenationLang='en_GB'

which corresponds to one of the pyphen dictionaries. This gets into the style and is used only if pyphen can be imported.
