Package texlive-patgen
Generate hyphenation patterns
Patgen takes a list of hyphenated words and generates a set of patterns that
can be used by the TeX 82 hyphenation algorithm. Patgen was originally written
by Frank M. Liang as part of his Stanford Ph.D. work, and has always been
distributed alongside the other programs coming from the Stanford TeX project.
It was updated in 1991 by Peter Breitenlohner for the new 8-bit features of TeX
version 3. (These updates related to input/output and programming overhead; the
actual pattern generation algorithms were not changed.) Patgen is currently
maintained as part of TeX Live.
