This library provides TeX-Hyphenation in PHP.

This package has the following requirements:

  • PHP-Version >= 7.2
  • Multibyte-Extension loaded
  • Input has to be UTF8-encoded.

On loading the \Org\Heigl\Hyphenator\Hyphenator-class the internal encoding for the Multibyte-String-Extension will be set to UTF8.

Installation:

This package is best installed via composer:

composer require org_heigl/hyphenator

More information can be found in the doc-section

Usage:

use \Org\Heigl\Hyphenator as h;
// Create a hyphenator-instance based on a given config-file
$hyphenator = h\Hyphenator::factory('/path/to/the/config/file.properties');

// And hyphenate a given string
echo $hyphenator->hyphenate('Hyphenation');
// Hy-phe-na-ti-on

Hyphenation patterns

The dictionaries in src/share/files/dictionaries come from two upstream projects, and two scripts install them:

  • tools/updateHyphenationFilesFromTexHyphen.sh builds the locales listed in its mapping table from the TeX hyphenation patterns of hyph-utf8. For German it also keeps the compound word list of the LibreOffice dictionary, because the patterns alone do not mark compound boundaries.
  • tools/updateHyphenationFilesFromLibreOffice.sh imports every locale from LibreOffice/dictionaries and then runs the hyph-utf8 script again, so the locales in its mapping table keep their hyph-utf8 dictionaries.

The hyph-utf8 script pins its sources to a commit, so a repeated run produces byte identical files. Both scripts render the <locale>.ini files the runtime reads through tools/renderDicts. Dictionaries and rendered files are committed.

src/share/files/dictionaries/SOURCES.md records the source, version, licence and pinned commit for every locale, and explains how to update the pins or migrate another locale.
