Method Detail

addClass

public void addClass(java.lang.String chargroup)
Add a character class. A character class defines characters that are considered equivalent for the purpose of hyphenation (e.g. "aA"). It usually means to ignore case.


addException

public void addException(java.lang.String word,
                         java.util.ArrayList hyphenatedword)
Add a hyphenation exception. An exception replaces the result obtained by the algorithm for cases for which this fails or the user wants to provide his own hyphenation. A hyphenatedword is a ArrayList of alternating String's and Hyphen instances


addPattern

public void addPattern(java.lang.String pattern,
                       java.lang.String values)
Add hyphenation patterns.

Parameters:
pattern -
values - interletter values expressed as a string of digit characters.
