Quickstart

use hyphenation::{Hyphenation, Standard};
use hyphenation::Language::{English_US};

// Set the location of the pattern repository,
// absolute or relative to your executable
hyphenation::set_pattern_folder(Path::new("./patterns"));

// Load hyphenation data for American English from the pattern repository.
let english_us = hyphenation::load(English_US).unwrap();

// An iterator that breaks a word according to standard hyphenation practices.
let h: Standard = "hyphenation".hyphenate(&english_us);
                // hy-phen-ation

// 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"]);

// Hyphenators work with full text as well as individual words.
let h2: Standard = "Word hyphenation by computer.".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 h2 = "anfractuous".hyphenate(&english_us);
let s: String = h1.punctuate().collect();
assert_eq!(s, "an\u{ad}frac\u{ad}tu\u{ad}ous".to_owned());

Unicode Normalization

hyphenation operates on strings in Normalization Form C, as described by the Unicode Standard Annex #15 and provided by the unicode-normalization crate.

This form is ubiquitous, and you probably need not worry about it. Nevertheless, it would be best to ensure NFC when working with any of the following languages:

  • Assamese
  • Bengali
  • Greek (Ancient, Monotonic, Polytonic)
  • Punjabi
  • Sanskrit
