Abstract

V originále

The need to fully automate the batch typesetting process increases with the use of TeX as the engine for high-volume and on-the-fly typeset documents which, in turn, leads to the need for programmable hyphenation and line-breaking of the highest quality. An overview of approaches for building custom hyphenation patterns is provided, along with examples. A~methodology of the process is given, combining different approaches: one based on morphology and hand-made patterns, and one based on wordlist s and the program PATGEN. The method aims at modular, easily maintainable, efficient, and portable hyphenation. The bag of tricks used in the process to develop custom hyphenation is described.
