hypher

hypher separates words into syllables.

toml [dependencies] hypher = "0.1"

Features

• All-inclusive: Hyphenation patterns are embedded into the binary as efficiently encoded finite automata at build time.
• Zero load time: Hyphenation automata operate directly over the embedded binary data with no up-front decoding.
• No allocations unless when hyphenating very long words (>= 39 bytes).
• Support for many languages.
• No unsafe code, no dependencies.

Example

```rust use hypher::{hyphenate, Lang};

let syllables = hyphenate("extensive", Lang::English); assert_eq!(syllables.join("-"), "ex-ten-sive"); ```

Languages

By default, this crate supports hyphenating more than 30 languages. Embedding automata for all these languages will add ~1.1 MB to your binary. Alternatively, you can disable support for all languages other than English. Then, only 27 KB will be added to your binary.

toml [dependencies] hypher = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["english"] }
