Thanks for the comment, Nikos. The hyphenation dictionary was actually derived from OpenOffice.org’s hyphenation dictionary and encoded into a javascript object. The hyphenation algorithm is derived from TeX’s original algorithm developed by Frank Liang.

I have actually been meaning to update the hyphenation script as it could use some optimization (There is a noticable delay when hyphenating a page, which is kind of unacceptable). I’ve also done a complete re-imagining of the code editor which I’ve yet to post.

I’ve just discovered your site, and I think that your hyphenation and your source code editor are two wonderfull ideas. about:edit is fine your are right, but it is not open source ! Nobody can not enhance it, adapt it, intergate it, … very bad.

Anyway, concerning the hyphenation script, how have you build the hyphenation database ? I would be happy to contribute to an other set of rules for my language.

Full client-side hyphenation

There’s already a library, that does client-side JavaScript hyphenation – pretty neat!
