In different languages, one and the same character may and may not be
used in hyphenation. For example: in English, quote (') can not be
part of word, whereas in French it is part of word.
Normally, one has to do \lccode`\'=`\' and \lccode`\'=0 manually each
time when changing language. By using \savinghyphcodes=1 this is done
automatically.
By compiling the following examples, we show that the word *is*
hyphenated in the second case, in spite of the fact that \lccode`\' is
zero. This is because \savinghyphcodes=1 is used.
$ cat `kpsewhich hyph-fr.tex` | iconv -f utf8 -t cp1252 > hyphfr.tex
Create myfmt.ini:
\input plain
\newlanguage\french
\language\french
\begingroup
\savinghyphcodes=1
\lccode`\'=`\'
\newcount\n \n=128 \loop\ifnum\n<255 \lccode\n=\n \advance\n by1\repeat
\input hyphfr
\endgroup
\chardef\english=0
\language\english
\dump
Generate new format:
$ etex -ini -etex myfmt.ini
Create test.tex:
\hsize=1pt
\hfuzz=10em
\parindent=0pt
\language\french
\the\lccode`\'\ l'installation
\hbox to 10em {\hrulefill}
\language\english
\the\lccode`\'\ l'installation
\hbox to 10em {\hrulefill}
\language\french
\the\lccode`\'\ l'installation
\bye
Compile test.tex with new format:
$ etex -fmt myfmt test.tex
Show the output:
$ xdvi test.dvi
How to achieve with LuaTeX the same functionality as was demonstrated
with e-TeX?
