[cl-typesetting-devel] hyphenation

[Fabrice Popineau]

This is a follow-up on the previous bug report about my faulty
implementation of the TeX hyphenation algorithm.

I have now tested the attached version against a list of 500 French
words and the result is ok on all of them. I have added the
left-hyphen-min and right-hyphen-min bounds to suppress hyphenation
points occuring too close from start or from end of the word. These
bounds exist in latex.

I have added also the hyphen-hyphenate-string taken from a previous
cl-typesetting implementation, but I wonder if this function couldn't be
made simpler. Basically, the hyphen-show-hyphens function does more or
less the same. Any idea?

Best regards,
