Stop Sphinx from Hyphenating

Question

I have a similar question to this, except for Sphinx and RST. Namely, I would like to prevent text from being hyphenated at the end of the line.

For example I want this:

This is my long sent-
ence.

To be:

This is my long
sentence.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Hyphenation is implemented by the stylesheet basic.css in the Sphinx theme "basic".

div.body p, div.body dd, div.body li, div.body blockquote {
    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    -ms-hyphens: auto;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    hyphens: auto;
}

You can override these styles with your own. See my answer to How do I customize Sphinx RtD Theme default search settings?

Your theme may have JavaScript or other styles that implement hyphenation.
