Method Details

addClass

 void addClass 
             (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.

Parameters:

chargroup - character group

addException

 void addException 
             (String word, List hyphenatedword)

Parameters:

word - word to add as an exception

hyphenatedword - pre-hyphenated word

addPattern

 void addPattern 
             (String pattern, String values)

Parameters:

pattern - the pattern

values - interletter values expressed as a string of digit characters.
