Summary description: Hyphenation patterns for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk
License type: dfsg
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The current recommended hyphenation patterns for Norwegian, nohyphbx,
was developed to support both Norwegian languages, Norwegian Bokmål and
Norwegian Nynorsk, and it works very well. Unfortunately, a few words
needs to be hyphenated differently for the two languages. One example
is ‘attende’, which should be hyphenated ‘at-ten-de’ in Norwegian Bokmål
and ‘att-en-de’ in Norwegian Nynorsk.
This package adds two new hyphenation pattern files, ‘nbhyph.tex’ and
‘nnhyph.tex’, for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk, respectively.
The files include the Norwegian ‘nohyphx.tex’ patterns (using \input),
and just adds a \hyphenation exception block for the words that needs
to be hyphenated differently for the two languages.
These patterns, ‘nbhyph.tex’ and ‘nnhyph.tex’ should become the
recommended hyphenation patterns for Norwegian in the future. I hope
to have proper support for them included in Babel at a later date.
