Hello,
I have tried to generate the hyphenation patterns for Malayalam language from the TeX hyphenation patterns, but the unicode characters were skipped. On TeXLive 2013, ConTeXt version 2013.04.20, this is what was tried:
1. Uncommented line for "ml" in mtx-patterns.lua 2. Ran "mtxrun --script patterns --convert --path=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/txt/ --destination=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/context/patterns/" 3. Output shows all patterns are removed with similar messages to: "mtx-patterns | removing line with suspected utf character അ (0x0D05), category lo: 1അ1"
What is the proper way to add hyphenation patterns for a new language?
In addition, how to add a 'new language' to the ConTeXt base (such that \language[ml] can be used? I see "base/lang-ind.mkii" where I could add "\setupheadtext" etc for the language, what is the equivalent for mkiv?
we need an entry in lang-def.mkiv i uploaded a beta that has the patterns and language definitions .. but up to you to check it and provide better settings if needed Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
