libhyphenate: A general purpose hyphenation library

Filed under: libhyphenate — Thiton at 21:27

I'm proud to present you a li­brary im­ple­ment­ing Liangs hy­phen­ation al­go­rithm (yes, the one used in TeX) for C and C++. It is de­liv­ered to­geth­er with hy­phen­ation files for U.S. English, Ger­man, French and Span­ish, and more hy­phen­ation files are easy to com­pile from those in­clud­ed in TeX.

In ver­sion 1.0, the prob­lems that arised with the im­prop­er han­dling of UTF-8 files in ger­man-lan­guage texts were re­solved.
