NAME
patgen - generate patterns for TeX hyphenation
SYNOPSIS
patgen dictionary_file pattern_file log_file translate_file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com-
plete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in
the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The patgen program reads the dictionary_file and produces
the pattern_file, writing a transcript of its actions on the
log_file. The dictionary_file should contain a list of
hyphenated words and previously-generated patterns.
The patterns thus generated can be read by initex for use in
hyphenating words. For a (very) long example of patgen's
output, see $TEXMFMAIN/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex, which con-
tains the patterns TeX uses for English. At some sites,
patterns for several other languages may be available, and
the local tex programs may have them preloaded; consult your
Local Guide or your system administrator for details.
All filenames must be complete; no adding of default exten-
sions or path searching is done.

AUTHORS
Frank Liang wrote the first version of this program. Peter
Breitenlohner made a substantial revision in 1991 for TeX 3.
The first version was published as the appendix to the
TeXware technical report, available from the TeX Users
Group. Howard Trickey originally ported it to Unix.
