PATGEN(1)							     PATGEN(1)

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 complete documen‐
       tation 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 pat‐
       tern_file, writing a transcript of its actions on  the  log_file.   The
       dictionary_file	should	contain	 a list of hyphenated words and previ‐
       ously-generated patterns.

       The patterns thus generated can be read by initex for use in  hyphenat‐
       ing  words.  For	 a (very) long example of patgen's output, see $TEXMF‐
       MAIN/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex, which contains 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;  con‐
       sult your Local Guide or your system administrator for details.

       All filenames must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path
       searching is done.

FILES
       $TEXMFMAIN/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex

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