Slightly different scope, but one project that does hyphenation in Javascript (seemingly based on the LaTeX algorithm) is at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/hyphenator/">http://code.google.com/p/hyphenator/</a>. It is used in the new version of BPBible. I don't know how well it adapts to Biblical texts, but it says it supports a number of languages.<br>

For many mobile devices such as cell phones, the line length of text is often<br>
limited by the narrow width of the display screen.<br>
<br>
This accentuates the problem of hyphenation for long words.<br>
<br>
i.e. Where to split a word and hyphenate it properly between syllables.<br>
<br>
One of the projects at bfbs linguistic computing addresses the challenge of<br>
hyphenation.<br>
<br>
See <a href="http://lc.bfbs.org.uk/news.php?item.34.2" target="_blank">http://lc.bfbs.org.uk/news.php?item.34.2</a><br>

<br>
Perhaps at some future occasion, it might be a worthwhile idea to explore<br>
whether automatic hyphenation might be something that could be incorporated<br>
into the SWORD API.<br>
<br>
It certainly would do no harm, and it might do much good.<br>
<br>
Others more skilled than I might wish to pursue this suggestion.<br>
