hyphenation patterns for Spanish, v 5.0.

This directory is a permanent place for the latest official release of the hyphenation patterns for the Spanish language, valid for xetex, luatex and pdftex.

The GitHub repository is:

https://github.com/jbezos/tex-hyphen-spanish

They are based on rules, with the help of a dictionary of about 700 000 words, created over 20 years and still expanding.

This project is related to tex-hyphen, the collection of hyphenation patterns for and other systems based on the same algorithm (Mozilla, Kindle, FOP, etc.):

Note however the version bundled with tex-hyphen (in CTAN:language/hyph-utf8/) could be outdated.

Contents

  • hyph-es-generated.tex is the main file. This is the file to be replaced in order to update the patterns, after removing the suffix -generated. Remember you must rebuild the formats (except with luatex).
  • eshyphexh.tex provides exceptions for traditional rules with adh, exh, and a few more.
  • division.pdf is a draft of an article (in Spanish) explaining the rules to be applied and how they are being translated into in a unified set of patterns (somewhat outdated).
  • eshyph-make.lua generates the patterns, with eshyph.src for prefixes and special cases.
  • eshyph-test.tex makes a comparison of two hyphenation rules. Use hyphen-es-base.tex for more or less strict syllabic rules. It requires a file spanish-words.txt with a list of words (a sample with about 56 000 entries is supplied in the GitHub repository), one per line. You can (should) filter the words. Requires at least luatex 1.10.

The sources for the word list include ispell, DRAE-DLE, the dictionary by María Moliner, Fundéu and personal tools for web crawling, with manual selection of terms.
