PATGEN !!!PATGEN NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FILES SEE ALSO AUTHORS ---- !!NAME patgen - generate patterns for TeX hyphenation !!SYNOPSIS __patgen__ dictionary_file pattern_file log_file translate_file !!DESCRIPTION This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TEX can be found in the info file or manual ''Web2C: A TeX implementation''. The __patgen__ program reads the ''dictionary_file'' and produces the ''pattern_file'', writing a transcript of its actions on the ''log_file''. The ''dictionary_file'' should contain a list of hyphenated words and previously-generated patterns. The patterns thus generated can be read by __initex__ for use in hyphenating words. For a (very) long example of ''patgen'''s output, see ''$TEXMFMAIN/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex'', which contains the patterns TEX uses for English. At some sites, patterns for several other languages may be available, and the local __tex__ programs may have them preloaded; consult your ''Local Guide'' or your system administrator for details. All filenames must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done. !!FILES ''$TEXMFMAIN/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex'' Patterns for English. !!SEE ALSO Frank Liang, ''Word hy-phen-a-tion by com-puter'', STAN-CS-83-977, Stanford University Ph.D. thesis, 1983. Donald E. Knuth, ''The TEXbook'', Addison-Wesley, 1986, ISBN 0-201-13447-0, Appendix H. !!AUTHORS Frank Liang wrote the first version of this program. Peter Breitenlohner made a substantial revision in 1991 for TEX 3. The first version was published as the appendix to the ''TEXware'' technical report, available from the TEX Users Group. Howard Trickey originally ported it to Unix. ----
