% $Id$ % language.us (and the start of language.dat) % - initial hyphenation patterns. % Created long ago by Sebastian Rahtz and others. Public domain. % % DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE (language.dat)! It is generated by tlmgr by % concatenating language.us with entries from the various packages. % % The premade texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat (where you might be % reading this) in the distribution is a copy of this generated file with % all languages enabled. It is used when the user asks to run live % (install option R). % % To enable or disable languages, there are two options: % - if the language is provided by a TeX Live package, you can % (un)install the corresponding package using tlmgr. Examples: % tlmgr install hyphen-french % tlmgr remove hyphen-english % - in any case, you can use a local configuration file: % TEXMFLOCAL/tex/generic/config/language-local.dat % with the same format as the present file, then regenerate this file % and rebuild the formats. See the manual of tlmgr (try 'man tlmgr' % or 'texdoc tlmgr'), section "generate" for details. % % The preferred comment for actual language lines is %!. Do not use %! % for textual comments like this. This is to be able to separate % textual comments from commented-out language in such a way that % automatic parsing by programs is possible, so that % we can present the user with `all possible languages'. % % *PLEASE*, keep english as the default (first) here, and let it refer % to hyphen.tex (not, e.g., ushyph.tex), and do not change the % hyphen.tex file, or name some other file hyphen.tex. hyphen.tex must % remain the original file from Knuth, and it must be \language0. This % is one important aspect of ensuring that the original, frozen TeX % always produces the same line and page breaks. % % The babel system allows you to easily change the active language for % LaTeX. For more information, see the documentation in % texmf-dist/doc/generic/babel/. ConTeXt has its own language support too. % english hyphen.tex % do not change! =usenglish =USenglish =american % % ushyphmax.tex, on the other hand, includes Gerard Kuiken's additional % patterns; it is not frozen. It is provided by the hyphen-english package. % % FYI, ushyph.tex is Dr. Kuiken's smaller set of patterns; with today's % large memories, there is no reason to use it, and we don't list it here. % ushyph1.tex is another (historical) name for hyphen.tex. % ushyph2.tex is another (historical) name for ushyph.tex. % --karl % dumylang dumyhyph.tex %for testing a new language. nohyphenation zerohyph.tex %a language with no patterns at all.
