dear TeX-hyphen members,
I'm new to this list (although not necessarily new to TeX hyphenation :-)
Here is the problem: we are preparing hyphenation patterns for Uyghur, written
in Arabic script.
As letters must be in initial/medial form before the hyphen and medial/final
form on the next line begin,
I was wondering if we could change TeX internals so that instead of one, three
hyphenchars are used:
^^^^200d and `-' on the upper line and ^^^^200d on the lower line, in order to
obtain the equivalent
of \discretionary{^^^^200d-}{^^^^200d}{}
Arthur said he would have a different solution.
I would personally play with the DVI (resp. XDV) file, even though the widths
of initial/medial forms
are quite different from those of final/isolated forms, which would require a
global redistribution of
space in the line.
Cheers,
Yannis
