NAME¶
hyphen_show - a program to look for hyphenations in a .dvi-file created
by TeX/LaTeX
SYNTAX¶
hyphen_show [
-c fontencoding ]
texfilename[.dvi] [
file_checked_hyphenations ]
DESCRIPTION¶
hyphen_show is a program (written in C language) which looks for
hyphenations in a .dvi-file created by TeX/LaTeX.
As there is no line structure in the .dvi-file, line breakings must be concluded
from horizontal and vertical gaps. There are constructs, where hyphenations
cannot be found, and there are constructs, where we cannot extract correctly
both fragments of an hyphenated word (especially at end of page, because of
following footers, footnotes, running title etc.)
On standard output you will find a list of hyphenations found together with page
numbers, both extracted from
texfilename.dvi. In file
texfilename .hyp the user will find hyphenations only.
Each hyphenation is included only at it's first occurence and only if it's not
already found in file
file_checked_hyphenations (if such a second file
is specified at
hyphen_show call).
Files
texfilename.hyp and
file_checked_hyphenations have
the same structure and are simple text files, so the user can easily edit each
of these files (especially delete lines with incorrect hyphenations) and
append file
texfilename.hyp to file
file_checked_hyphenations e.g. by using
cat command.
Program
hyphen_show can be called as stand-alone program as described
ahead; yet originally
hyphen_show was written for use with
xtem_TeXMenu, where it is started automatically (depending on the
user's settings) after each TeX run or where it can be started explicitely as
an
xtem utility program.
DOCUMENTATION¶
For the implementator a README is included in the package.
OPTIONS¶
- -c fontencoding
- specifies the font encoding which is used in TeX (\usepackage[
fontencoding]{fontenc}). At the moment the following font encodings
are available: T1 and OT1, i.e. fontencoding may get one of these
values: T1 or OT1. The default value is set to T1, yet can
be adapted by the local implementation.
FILES¶
- texfilename.dvi
- this file is scanned for hyphenations (must exist).
- file_checked_hyphenations
- if specified, this file will be scanned for correct (`checked')
hyphenations.
- texfilename.hyp
- all hyphenations found in texfilename.dvi and not included
in file_checked_hyphenations up to now will be written into this
file (will be created/overwritten).
