2.2 Hyphenation Tables ¶
Hyphenation tables are necessary to make opcodes such as the
nocross
opcode (see nocross
) function properly. There are no opcodes for
hyphenation table entries because these tables have a special format.
Therefore, they cannot be specified as part of an ordinary table.
Rather, they must be included using the include
opcode (see include
) or as part
of a table list. The liblouis hyphenation algorithm was adopted from the
one used by OpenOffice. Note that Hyphenation tables must follow
character definitions and should preferably be the last. For an example
of a hyphenation table, see hyph_en_US.dic.
