Folks,
being a complete newbie who wants to experiment a little with LuaTeX,
I ask for some help to improve `texinfo.tex` for generating the
documentation of LilyPond.
Within the `@code` macro, I want to do two things.
(a) Hook into the `hyphenate` callback to insert hyphenation
discretionaries based on some constraints.
(b) Hook into `pre_linebreak_filter` (or rather `contribute_filter`?)
to inhibit line breaks before/after a single character if
preceded/followed by a (single) space. In other words, this space
should be replaced with `@tie{}`.
How can I do that? I guess I have to do the following.
(1) Write hooks `code_hyphenate` and `code_pre_linebreak_filter`.
(2) At the beginning of `@code`, append the `code_hyphenate` hook.
(3) At the end of `@code`, remove the `code_hyphenate` hook.
Assuming this is the correct approach I have some questions.
* It's not written explicitly in the LuaTeX manual but I guess that
the argument to the `hyphenate` hook is a single word.
* I couldn't find information in the manual about the order of hooks.
It seems that I have to save the original hook by myself and call it
before/after, right?
* Is there already some code available that I could use as a starting
point?
talking of luatex, if you want to influence hyphenation, you can best
plug into the pre_linebreak_filter and hpack_filter callbacks and just
do some interpretation of the node lists (glyph nodes) and bases on what
you want to do inject or replace them by disc nodes that then control
the hyphenator later on as we as the linbebreak routine
it's all up to the macro package how to organize and order things and
they all do things differently
