Background

In multilingual document processing and typesetting, correct hyphenation is crucial. tex-hyphen provides a comprehensive set of hyphenation patterns that support multiple languages, ensuring high-quality typesetting. Introducing tex-hyphen into OpenHarmony can significantly enhance the typesetting quality of multilingual documents.

Language Classification

The tex directory contains multiple hyphenation patterns from TeX hyphenation patterns, each using different open-source licenses. The classification is as follows:

• MIT License
• LPPL 1, LPPL 1.2, LPPL 1.3
• MPL 1.1
• BSD 3

Languages used in OHOS,the following languages all use a user-friendly open-source license.:

• be - Belarusian
• cy - Welsh
• da - Danish
• de-1901 - German (1901 orthography)
• de-ch-1901 - Swiss German (1901 orthography)
• el-monoton - Modern Greek (monotonic)
• el-polyton - Modern Greek (polytonic)
• en-gb - British English
• en-us - American English
• es - Spanish

Value Brought to OpenHarmony

1. Improved Typesetting Quality: By introducing tex-hyphen, OpenHarmony can achieve more accurate hyphenation, improving the readability and aesthetics of documents.
2. Enhanced Small Screen Experience: Using hyphenation patterns on small screen devices can display more content in the same area, enhancing the reading experience.

How to Use tex-hyphen in OpenHarmony

1. Compile the HPB Binary

Compilation Steps

Open the terminal (or command prompt), navigate to the directory containing the hyphen_pattern_processor.cpp file, and run the following command to compile the code:

cd ohos/src/hyphen-build/
g++ -g -Wall hyphen_pattern_processor.cpp -o transform

Explanation of the command:

• g++: Invoke the GCC compiler.
• -g: Add debugging information.
• -Wall: Enable all warnings.
• hyphen_pattern_processor.cpp: Source code file.
• -o transform: Specify the output executable file name as transform.

Execution Steps

After compilation, you can run the generated executable file and process the specified .tex file using the following command:

./transform hyph-en-us.tex ./out/

Explanation of the command:

• ./transform: Run the generated transform executable file.
• hyph-en-us.tex: Input file (the .tex file to be processed).
• ./out/: Output directory (the processed files will be stored in this directory).

After successful execution, the processed files will be stored in the ./out/ directory.

Batch Compilation

• Dependencies:

jq:JSON file parsing tool

• Configure the files to be compiled using the JSON configuration file build-tex.json:

[
    {
        "filename": "example1.tex"
    },
    {
        "filename": "example2.tex"
    }
]

filename: Specifies the name of the TeX file to be compiled. The file must be located in the tex directory.

The build-tex.json file defines all supported languages, and the script will compile all of them by default. Developers can control the addition or removal of languages by modifying build-tex.json.
For example:
To remove the example2 language, modify the file as follows:

[
    {
        "filename": "example1.tex"
    }
]

To add the example3 language, modify the file as follows:

[
    {
        "filename": "example1.tex"
    },
    {
        "filename": "example2.tex"
    },
    {
        "filename": "example3.tex"
    }
]

• Open a terminal (or command prompt), navigate to the directory containing the build.sh file, and run the following commands to compile the code:

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

After successful compilation, the compiled output will be placed in the ./out_hpb directory.

2. Parse Word Hyphenation Positions Using HPB

compilation Steps

Open a terminal (or command prompt), navigate to the directory containing the hyphen_pattern_reader.cpp file, and run the following command to compile the code:

cd ohos/src/hyphen-build/
g++ -g -Wall hyphen_pattern_reader.cpp -o reader

Explanation of the command:

• g++: Calls the GCC compiler.
• -g: Adds debugging information.
• -Wall: Enables all warnings.
• hyphen_pattern_reader.cpp: The source code file.
• -o reader: Specifies the output executable file name as reader.

Running Steps

After compilation, you can parse the hyphenation positions of words in the specified language using the following command:

./reader hyph-en-us.hpb helloworld

Explanation of the command:

• ./reader: Runs the generated reader executable.
• hyph-en-us.hpb: The input file (the binary file to be parsed).
• helloworld: The word to be parsed.

After successful execution, the log will output the hyphenation information of the parsed word.

3. Batch Verification

You can use the generate_report.py Python script to read the report_config.json configuration file and perform batch verification to check the validity of the generated binary files.

Preparation

• Python 3.x
• transform and reader executables, placed in the same directory as the script.
• report_config.json configuration file

Usage

1. Prepare the Configuration File First, create a JSON configuration file named report_config.json with the following content:

{
    "file_path": "path/to/tex/files",
    "tex_files": [
        {
            "filename": "example.tex",
            "words": ["word1", "word2", "word3", "word4", "word5", "word6", "word7", "word8", "word9", "word10"]
        },
        ...
    ]
}

2. Run the Script Run the following command in the terminal:

python generate_report.py report_config.json

3. Log Files The script will generate a timestamped subdirectory under the report directory, containing the following log files:

match.log: Records successful matches.
unmatch.log: Records unsuccessful matches.
