Hi,

I guess German is famous for its monstrous compound words ;o(

So I have a manually collected lists of hyphenation patterns (like "\hyphenation{Selbst-kon-troll-ein-rich-tung}"). This I'd like to keep as a two separate files: on for usage with the body-text set in \mainlanguage[deo] and one for \mainlanguage[de].

Is there a handy way to automatically assign and include one of these files (HyPold and HyPnew) to the usage of the respective \mainlanguage [deo] and [de] ?

you can copy them to lang-de.hyp

of just :

\mainlangage[de] \input yourfile.tex

is there [with mkii] a better / more economical way to write those yourfile.tex collections than \hyphenation{Selbst-kon-troll-ein-rich-tung} \hyphenation{Selbst-kon-troll-ein-rich-tun-gen} \hyphenation{Be-triebs-prü-fung} \hyphenation{Be-triebs-prü-fun-gen} \hyphenation{Teil-as-pek-te} \hyphenation{Teil-as-pek-ten} ??

Thanks Taco... \hyphenation{ Selbst-kon-troll-ein-rich-tung Selbst-kon-troll-ein-rich-tun-gen Be-triebs-prü-fung Be-triebs-prü-fun-gen Teil-as-pek-te Teil-as-pek-ten } ... but this works only when included in a specific "component" but not for an entire project. When \hyphenation{...} is written in the environment file it doesn't work (same for writing \mainlangage[de] \input MyCompound.tex in the environment file). ??? Steffen

this looks like a clean way (assigns automatically with the chosen \mainlanguage).

by default lang-de.hyp is empty ... does this indicate that it is actually meant for user entries?

no, it means that the german patterns are perfect -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

btw another question: will luatex interpret ligature rules which are language specific? At least from otf fonts?

LuaTeX (MK IV, not plain LuaTeX) will pass the language to the font automatically (lang=DEU for \mainlanguage[de] for example). Unfortunately most fonts are too "stupid" to make use of that information, but the general answer is yes, I guess. Mojca
