| Nov 15, 2024 at 18:58 | comment | added | Giacomo Giacomo | The ! is just the punctuation mark found in books, I'd have liked to know why those marks are listed in the file preceded and followed by a 1 value. I read somewhere that odd numbers are used to signal an hyphenation point while even numbers deter hyphenation; and higher numbers take higher priority. But I can't work out how that is working for that list of punctuation marks. Also, can't work out why the hyphenation rule l'2 that should deter hyphenation after the apostrophe in l' constructs, is not working in the instance I found on my ereader (l'-hai is incorrect hyphenation). | |
| Nov 15, 2024 at 18:53 | comment | added | Giacomo Giacomo | I wanted to fix the hyphenation on my ereader by messing with the .dic hyphenation file. | |
| Nov 15, 2024 at 18:34 | comment | added | David Carlisle | tex pattern files have no ! or NEXT LEVEL lines so any questions about that would need to be asked on a libre office forum | |
| Nov 15, 2024 at 18:28 | comment | added | David Carlisle | It uses the same basic algorithm but I do not think the actual files are sharable. Are you wanting to change the hyphenation in libre office? that's probably off topic here but the format basically is odd numbers encourage hyohenation and even numbers discourage it | |
| Nov 15, 2024 at 17:50 | comment | added | Giacomo Giacomo | Also, I was told that the .dic hyphenation file actually uses TeX patterns. I never used them so I wanted to know how they work in this simple instance | |
| Nov 15, 2024 at 17:46 | comment | added | Giacomo Giacomo | Thanks! It's a hyphenation file from LibreOffice. It is commonly added to ereaders to have a better hyphenation. I added the first sections from an equivalent file for english, it's a list of "1!1" "1,1" etc, separated with a "NEXT LEVEL" line. I wanted to understand what that first section does with the punctuation marks and why removing the first one solved some horrible hyphenation like Isabe-l". (name followed in the text by inverted commas and dot). Also, the l'2 rule in the file should prevent hyphenation after the apostrophe but didn't work in an instance (l'-hai instead of l'hai) | |
| Nov 15, 2024 at 17:43 | comment | added | David Carlisle | no standard files in the tex distributions use a .dic extension so it is hard to know what you are asking. You may be describing the format of \patterns which contains lists of numbers and letters. You can not use \patterns in a normal latex run though so it is normally simpler to correct any issues using \hyphenation where you simply list whole words and their hyphenation points | |
