Example.c!\n\nThis is almost purely the `example.c` that comes with the source for\nlibhyphen. I just cleaned it up and changed it to work nicely from the\ncommand line. I also fixed the UTF-8 multibyte character support\n(isn't that the \"spiffi=est\"!).\n\n## Installation\n\n    git clone http://github.com/hackerb9/hyphenation\n    cd hyphenation\n    sudo apt install libhyphen-dev libhyphen0 hyphen-en-us\n    make\n    make install\n\n## About hyphenation dictionaries and libhyphen\n\nIf you don't have the dictionaries, you can install them on most\nDebian derivatives like so:\n\n\tapt install hyphen-en-us\n\nYou can see what dictionaries you have installed on your computer by\nchecking `/usr/share/hyphen/`. If you have LibreOffice installed on\nyour machine, you already have the necessary hyphenation dictionaries\nand libraries.\n\n### Alternate language dictionaries are available.\n\nYou can install the hyphenation patterns for whatever language you\nprefer, from Afrikaans to Zulu. For example, for German:\n\n    apt install hyphen-de\n\nIf you have your computer set up for a different locale (e.g.,\n`LANG=\"de_DE\"`), this program should automatically look for the correct\nhyphenation dictionary. However, this has not been tested by a real\nuser. If it doesn't work, please file a bug report.\n\n## Note of surprise\n\nHow can there not have been a standard Unix utility to do this before?\nOriginally, I wasn't going to write this, because I presumed that, at\nthe worst, I'd just use `groff`. Unfortunately, while it hyphenates\ngreat, there's no way to get the raw hyphenation before it gets\nconverted into a PDF or whatever. (You can use the \"-a\" option to\npeek, but then you lose UTF-8).\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhackerb9%2Fhyphenate","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhackerb9%2Fhyphenate","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhackerb9%2Fhyphenate/lists"}
