Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to understand the hyphenation format, used in .dic
files. It seems this format is not documented anywhere yet (it seems to
be a rather new feature at the time) and I couldn't find a satisfactory
explanation (reading examples doesn't clarify what the format is, for me
at least).
Could anyone direct me toward explicit documentation on this topic? Or
else help me to figure it out? I'm not quite familiar with the rule of
hyphenation in English, so I picked up a more familiar .dic file
(hph-fr-FR.dic) and tried to read it. In it one can find things like:
.bai2se3main
Or
ô2ment.
I guess a piece of word stands on each line, with syllables separated by
digits. What these digits mean and what the period means, however, I
cannot guess right away.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Vincent
