Add soft hyphens to HTML documents
Project description
shyster
The problem this package is trying to solve is that while I can set
hyphens: auto; in CSS, many browsers do a poor job of hyphenating
Finnish. Even if they have Finnish hyphenation patterns, they often fail
to recognise compound words, which should be hyphenated at compound
boundaries (saippua-kauppias, not saip-pua-kaup-pias). One solution is
to set hyphens: manual; and add soft hyphens at acceptable hyphenation
spots.
Install
pip install shyster
How to use
One top-level function does it all:
import shyster
shyster.hyphenate_html_file('input.html', 'output.html', 'patterns/hyphen.tex')
If more control is needed:
hyph_fi = hyphenator('patterns/hyph-fi.tex', righthyphenmin=2)
[hyph_fi(word) for word in
'Jukolan talo, eteläisessä Hämeessä, seisoo erään mäen pohjaisella rinteellä, liki Toukolan kylää'\
.replace(',','').split()]
['Ju-ko-lan',
'ta-lo',
'ete-läi-ses-sä',
'Hä-mees-sä',
'sei-soo',
'erään',
'mäen',
'poh-jai-sel-la',
'rin-teel-lä',
'li-ki',
'Tou-ko-lan',
'ky-lää']
html = """
<!doctype html><title>Seitsemän veljestä</title>
<script>var veljekset = 7;</script>
<body>
<p style="margin-top: 2em">Jukolan talo, eteläisessä Hämeessä, seisoo erään mäen pohjaisella
rinteellä, liki Toukolan kylää. Sen läheisin ympäristö on kivinen

mennyt, aaltoili teräinen vilja.</p>

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
