About hyphenation

[Walter Alejandro Iglesias]

Hi everyone,

Recently I found some groff manual written in Spanish (standalone, not a
translation of the groff manual in English) the author had the idea of
generating a list of words with the .hw request with a script.  I tried
this method and I got a better hyphenation than reading the patterns
file from LaTeX with .hpf, as I've been doing for years.  I explain all
in this article:

Happy with the results, I wrote an application in C to separate words in
syllables for the Spanish language:

Perhaps not a C program, but if, like me, you have novels published, it
might be worth writing a shell script for your language.
