Hi,is there any way to get the hyphenation patterns matching a word handed on a silver platter by luatex? Seeing callback hyphenate() and function lang.hyphenate() as the only related API parts, I assume the answer is no.
No. The best luatex can do is give you all the patterns for a language as a space-delimited string: <string> s = lang.patterns(<number> l) but you will have to extract the ones that fit a particular word yourself. Best wishes, Taco
