User-specified hyphenation dictionaries #55
Comments

Hi! Thanks for this issue! We should actually add a public API to register a new Pyphen dictionary. It’s already possible but not documented yet: from pathlib import Path
import pyphen
from weasyprint import HTML
pyphen.LANGUAGES['xx'] = Path('/xxx/hyph_xx.dic')
pyphen.LANGUAGES_LOWERCASE['xx'] = 'xx'
html = '''
<html lang="xx">
...
</html>
'''
HTML(string=html).write_pdf('/tmp/output.pdf')I’d like to add something like |

That'd be perfect as long as there's a way to specify the preference through the commandline API, whether directly or via a config file. Currently I'm using Weasyprint as the second step of a pandoc conversion so I favour commandline-based solutions, but if it seems too fussy, exposing it only through the public Python API would still be very useful. |
I think that it’s too specific to be available as a command-line option. But having the feature in Pyphen’s API is a good idea, let’s move this issue over there! |
It looks as though Pyphen has full support for arbitrary user-specified hyphenation dictionaries via its filename parameter, but Weasyprint isn't presently making use of that capability. It would be nice to have a commandline switch to specify this option, like with stylesheets, in case people want to do something a bit unusual. At present the only way to tweak hyphenation policy at this level is to maually tweak the contents of the Pyphen package, which is a bit dicey.
