This function reads hyphenation pattern files, to be used
with hyphen.
Usage
read.hyph.pat(file, lang, fileEncoding = "UTF-8")
Arguments
file
A character string with a valid path to a
file with hyphenation patterns (one pattern per line).
lang
A character string, usually two letters
short, naming the language the patterns are meant to be
used with (e.g. "es" for Spanish).
fileEncoding
A character string defining the
character encoding of the file to be read. Unless you
have a really good reason to do otherwise, your pattern
files should all be UTF-8 encoded.
Hyphenation patterns that can be used are available from
CTAN[1]. But actually any file with only the patterns
themselves, one per line, should work.
The language designation is of no direct consequence
here, but if the resulting pattern object is to be used
by other functions in this package, it should resamble
the designation that's used for the same language there.
