NAME

       findhyph – find words hyphenated by TeX in a document

INSTALLATION

       Copy findhyph or findhyph.bat (depending on OS used) to a directory included in system PATH. Perl
       interpreter is required to be in "/usr/bin/" for Unix-like systems or in PATH when using findhyph.bat.

SYNOPSIS

       findhyph [options] foo.log

DESCRIPTION

       To use this program:

       1)  set "\tracingparagraphs=1" in a TeX document foo.tex and run:

       2)  tex foo.tex

       3)  findhyph [options] foo.log

       If you are setting "\looseness=<N>" to optimize paragraphs, you need to pass that information to the file
       foo.log   in   a   form   "@looseness=<N>"   (on   a   separate   line).   You   can  use  a  macro  like
       "\def\setlooseness#1{\looseness=#1 \immediate\write-1{@looseness=#1}}" for this purpose. If the paragraph
       contains material in display math mode, you need to use the macro in all split parts of the paragraph.

OPTIONS

       -c  display hyphenated words in context

       -f  display font selectors and other strings starting with a backslash character

       -v  display program version

       -p  generate file containing information about one-letter prepositions and conjunctions left at  the  end
           of line

       -l=STRING
           use  prepositions/conjunctions  listed  in  STRING  instead  of  default  list  of  prepositions  and
           conjunctions "kKsSvVzZoOuUiIA" used for Slovak and Czech language

OUTPUT FILES

       foo.hyph
           List of hyphenated words. All punctuation characters, parentheses  and  other  character  immediately
           preceding  or  following  displayed  words  are  included  in this list. TeX constructs which are too
           difficult to display ("\hbox{}", "\mark{}" etc.) are shown as "[]". Math mode  is  indicated  by  "$"
           sign.

           Page  numbers  in  square  brackets  refer  to  LOG file and may occasionally differ from the typeset
           document. The reason is that TeX may need to break more paragraphs than it would  eventually  fit  on
           the page in order to find a page break.

           Words  hyphenated  in  footnotes are listed before the words hyphenated in the paragraph in which the
           footnote is referenced.

       foo.prep
           List of prepositions if option -p is used.

HISTORY

       1.0 (2001-04-08)

       •   public release

       2.0 (2009-08-10)

       •   fixes in line breaks detection algorithm; support for the third pass of line  breaking  algorithm  in
           TeX (positive "\emergencystretch"); support for discretionary breaks in the first pass

       •   page  number  detection  improved  (recognized  negative  page  numbers,  compound  page numbers when
           "\count1" to "\count9" registers are non-zero and "[nn{mapfile}]", "[nn<picture>]" and "[nn<newline>"
           formats used by pdfTeX; false page number detection should be much more rare)

       •   configurable list of prepositions and conjunctions

       •   hyphenated words can be displayed in context

       •   suggestions and testing by Pavel Stříž

       3.0 (2012-02-01)

       •   fixed a bug when total paragraph demerits are negative

       •   "\looseness" setting is now taken into account (thanks to Karel Horák for identifying the issue)

       3.1 (2012-11-03)

       •   fixed displaying of hyphenated ligatures (bug reported by Karel Horák)

       3.2 (2012-11-21)

       •   improved example definition of the "\setlooseness" macro (thanks to Karl Berry)

       3.3 (2013-06-18)

       •   fixed the manual page as suggested by Eric S. Raymond

       3.4 (2015-10-18)

       •   fixed processing of logs produced using ε-TeX's "\lastlinefit" option (bug reported by Karel Horák)

       •   fixed cross-platform handling of linebreaks in the input file
