[xep-support] FW: Hyphenation problem

[Piolon, mevr. P.V.M.]

Hi,

I have tried to change hyphens.xml so that XEP will use (a modified version
of) nehyph.tex for dutch language files, but I'm running into trouble:

First of all, I've added the following:

<hyphen language="nl" table="nehyph.tex"/>

to the hyphens.xml file. This does not work: not a single word is
hyphenated.

To test, I changed the page-sequence language att. in FO to "en". This
resulted in hyphenation according to english rules. So I know the concept of
hyphenation is at least working :)

To test some more, I changed the page-sequence language attribute back to
"nl" and changed the hyphens.xml file so that my original added line said:

<hyphen language="nl" table="ukhyphen.tex"/>

Result: no more hyphenation.

Then I changed the page-sequence language attribute back to "en" and made
the hyphens.xml file say:

<hyphen language="en" table="nehyph.tex"/>

... which, to my amazement, gave me back the english hyphenation. So what is
going on here? Is english hyphenation hard-coded to be associated with the
"en" language? What do I have to do to make XEP actually use dutch
hyphenation rules?

Regards,

-- Patricia
