NHyphenator

C# implementation of Frank Liang's hyphenation algorithm (also known as Knuth-Liang algorithm). Read more about algorithm on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphenation_algorithm

This implementation contains original TEX hyphenation patterns (see http://tug.org/tex-hyphen/) for British and American English, and Russian language

NuGet

https://www.nuget.org/packages/NHyphenator/

Example

Simple usage example:

var loader = new ResourceHyphenatePatternsLoader(HyphenatePatternsLanguage.Russian);
Hypenator hypenator = new Hyphenator(loader, "-");
var result = hypenator.HyphenateText(text);

Adding new languages

This library contains build-in patterns for English and Russian languages (stored in .resx file)

You can add (or update) language patterns through using FilePatternsLoader and load patterns from files

var loader = new new FilePatternsLoader($"{patterns_path}", $"{exceptions_path}");

Also you can create own implementation of IHyphenatePatternsLoader interface

You can find patterns here: .pat.txt files contain patterns, .hyp.txt files contain exceptions
