Documentation
Quickstart
use hyphenation::{Hyphenation, Standard};
use hyphenation::Language::{English_US};
// Load hyphenation data for American English from the pattern repository.
let english_us = hyphenation::load(English_US).unwrap();
// Compute the byte indices of valid hyphenation points within a word.
let indices = "hyphenation".opportunities(&english_us);
assert_eq!(indices, vec![2, 6]);
// Build an iterator that breaks a word according to standard hyphenation practices.
let h: Standard = "hyphenation".hyphenate(&english_us);
// Collect the lazy hyphenator `h` into substring slices over the original string.
let v: Vec<&str> = h.collect();
assert_eq!(v, vec!["hy", "phen", "ation"]);
// Hyphenation works with full text as well as individual words.
use hyphenation::FullTextHyphenation;
let text_indices = "Word hyphenation by computer.".fulltext_opportunities(&english_us);
assert_eq!(text_indices, vec![7, 11, 23]);
let h2: Standard = "Word hyphenation by computer.".fulltext_hyphenate(&english_us);
let v2: Vec<&str> = h2.collect();
assert_eq!(v2, vec!["Word hy", "phen", "ation by com", "puter."]);
// Mark hyphenation opportunities with soft hyphens,
// and render the result to a new String.
let h3 = "anfractuous".hyphenate(&english_us);
let s3: String = h3.punctuate().collect();
assert_eq!(s3, "an\u{ad}frac\u{ad}tu\u{ad}ous".to_owned());
Unicode Normalization
For preference, hyphenation
should operate on strings in a known normalization form, as described by the Unicode Standard Annex #15 and provided by the unicode-normalization
crate. This is particularly important when working with non-ASCII languages that feature combining marks.
(Notably exempt from such concerns are English_US
and English_GB
, for which normalization is ordinarily inconsequential.)
The normalization form expected by hyphenation
is determined at build time. By default, hyphenation
is compiled to work with strings in Normalization Form C; you may specify another form in your Cargo manifest, like so:
[dependencies.hyphenation]
version = "0.6.0"
features = ["nfd"]
The features
field takes a list containing the desired normalization form; namely, the value of features
must be one of the following:
["none"]
, to use the TeX UTF-8 patterns as they are;["nfc"]
, for canonical composition;["nfd"]
, for canonical decomposition;["nfkc"]
, for compatibility composition;["nfkd"]
, for compatibility decomposition.
