True - my question was more oriented to LaTeX input syntax. That is, if our goal is to use LaTeX(ish) syntax as much as possible, it'd be great if there were already open source parsers of LaTeX (or LaTeX like) text that could feed it into Pango or what have you.
From the luatex website: "The sources may or may not compile, depending on the third digit after the comma of the local temperature in Dordrecht, Schwetzingen or Hasselt." It seems like Pango and libhyphen are good ways to go. A lot of our home-brewed algorithms can be retired for their more robust ones (unless the LilyPond text engine beats Pango, which is of course possible but I'd have to look into it). Bertrand, as you're the one leading the charge for this, perhaps you could hold off until the coding par-tay!!1 ? It'll save you the trouble of maintaining your own hyphenation package. Cheers, MS |
