Hello all,
MM has only two hyphenation modes: no hyphenation
and mode 14. I disfavour mode 14 and propose a
patch that will allow MM to use other hyphenation
modes while keeping it backwards compatible with the
current behaviour.
The semantics of MM's Hy register are remaining the
same, but another register is introduced -- Hm, for
hyphenation mode -- that holds the desired hyphen-
ation mode, 14 by default, which can be overridden
either from the command line or from the source. Is
it acceptable?
If it is OK, I will also provide a corresponding
path for the groff_mm man page.
Anton
