Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Trent W. Buck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The rst2pdf utility (see #496864) cannot create hyphenated output without this library. Therefore I wish to package it for Debian. Attached is a minimal, draft .diff.gz that I have created. I do not intend to do further work on wordaxe until rst2pdf makes it through NEW. * Package name : python-wordaxe Version : 0.2.6 Upstream Author : Henning von Bargen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://deco-cow.sf.net/ * License : Apache2.0 | BSD-2 Programming Lang: Python Description : germanic (and basic) hyphenation algorithms The wordaxe library (formerly known as deco-cow) provides Python programs with the ability to automatically hyphenate words using an algorithm which is based on decomposition of compound words into base words, and is named DCWHyphenator in the code. . Currently, only German language is supported for the DCWHyphenator. Other germanic languages like Nederlands, Dansk, etc. that make heave use of compound words should profit from the algorithm as well - as soon as someone provides a word base. . Apart from the DCWHyphenator, the library supports other algorithms as well: . * BaseHyphenator is language-independent and splits words only after a few special characters (in particular, '-'). . * PyHnjHyphenator is a pure Python implementation of the hyphenation algorithm used in TeX and OpenOffice. . The library can be used as a simple add-on to the ReportLab PDF library, adding support for automatic hyphenation in the Paragraph line-breaking method. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
