FOP XML Hyphenation Patterns

The project ‘Objects For Formatting Objects’ (OFFO) hosts hyphenation pattern files in the XML format used by the Formatting Object Processor Apache Fop.

These hyphenation patterns are based on the TeX hyphenation patterns hosted on CTAN and obtained from them by direct conversion (conversion script). The names of the patterns have been changed so that they work better with FOP.

All included hyphenation patterns are listed along with some properties in the languages info file

The hyphenation patterns come with various Open Source licenses, which are listed in the source files.

The download page contains the following packages:

offo-hyphenation

the hyphenation pattern files in FOP XML format (installation instructions)

offo-hyphenation-compiled

the hyphenation pattern files compiled for FOP 1.1 and higher. (installation instructions)

The installation instructions can also be found as the file installation.html in each package.
