I´m working on an event app that is written in brazilian portuguese however the automatic hyphenation isn´t working.

Is there an specific type of column type that I should choose for the hyphenation to work?

The correct line break would help too

There’s an annoying default setting in Glide that uses hyphenation for these cases. You either have to resort to a rich text component, or use CSS for all text components to disable this behaviour.

Thank you! The thing about CSS is that we have to pay for the business plan and this is out of question 😩
