Adding ‘Dont Hyphenate Classname” Support to Hyphenator

The WordPress Hyphenator plugin is a great plugin that uses Hyphenator.js to perform client-side hyphenation of blog posts. I think this makes full-justified posts look much nicer, and I use it extensively on this site.

Hyphenator.js relies on being told what classnames to look for in a page to know what can be hyphenated, but it also has an option called donthyphenateclassname which allows one to specify classnames that never get hyphenated, even when they are inside of a class that ought to be.

Unfortunately, the Hyphenator WordPress plugin does not support this option. I needed support for it, so I added it. I don’t really know of a place to submit this patch, so I’m posting it here. This patch has been applied to version 3.2.0 of Hyphenator.
