Proofing Tool GUI - Hyphenation support

#1

Hello!

Just to let the development community know that after five years
planning to add hyphenation support to Proofing Tool GUI, it is finally
implemented.

It took me just around a couple of weeks to have it ready since only now
I was told about the algorithm.

You can give it a try (PTG 3.0 - build 123) at:
www.proofingtoolgui.org

Don't hesitate to report any issues or give suggestions.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Great to hear. Defiantly something I'm gonna play with.

Just a quick question, aff files are currently not supported? How about using AF feature as this is recommended in Hunspell's documentation (Hunspell4.pdf). There's pop-up on open allowing user to set .aff aid for English and Veneto but seams I can't add custom one.

How about supporting AFF files?

Thanks, Kruno

Hello Kruno,

.AFF files are open in the first tab "Dictionary". When you open a .DIC
in "Dictionary", it opens also the .AFF.

Then, after opening a dictionary, you can go to the "Hyphenation" tab
and open an Hyphenation .DIC file.

The joining of both will allow you to derivate words in hyphenation or
even type words by hand.

I need to write the documentation for .aff AID :-(... In fact I need to
write a lot of documentation, not sure when I will have the time though...

In this version of PTG I did improve the user guide a lot, but it is not
enough for all uses.

Also, not all features of .AFF are supported, I did add "twofold" months
ago for Veneto or whatever it is called, but I haven't seen any
documentation for more complex decoding such as the Netherlands dictionary.

Open-source developing is a lifetime task, and I will try to keep on
improving all the projects I am involved on.

Thank you my friend,

Kind regards,

Thank you for clarification. I also just started to write simple CLI program that should do similar as PTG, but idea is just few days old and I didn't progress a lot (if at all):

I'm amateur in programming and can't do PureBasic (for now), but maybe I could be helpful?

The thing is that Croatian dictionary is not using classes for connecting words to classes, it rather uses AF feature and seams that PTG is not handling that right.

Is that true?

Hi,

What is "FA feature"?

Could you send me the speller (.dic + .aff)?

I usually implement features with the help of users who send me spellers
and tell me what PTG should do.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
