Hi Karl,
Oh? How is localeshyph.conf going to be read?
If it can be done independently of language.dat/def, then ok.
My concern was that tlmgr (and the miktex equivalent, I believe)
automatically updates language.dat/def (and fmtutil.cnf), so having
users modify it would not be good.
This is the very reason I'm investigating how to do
it. No doubt there is a way, but which one, considering
there are several formats and engines?
By the way, I've wrote already a very compact selector:
Define:
\def\include#1{1\localhyphenignore#11}
\def\switchpatterns#1#2{\if#1#20\fi}
\let\localhyphenignore\empty
So that in patterns you write:
...
plan4c5t
\if\include{A}
2no.
\fi
4caca4
...
Thus, you can exclude 2no. by writing in the local config
file:
\def\localhyphenignore#1{\switchpatterns#1A}
Not very user-friendly, indeed, but patterns are never
user-friendly and at this level I think simpler is better
(more user-frienlyly ways to do that could be left to higher
levels, like formats, packages...).
Cheers
Javier
