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
tanner, mutta alempana alkaa pellot, joissa, ennenkuin talo oli häviöön
mennyt, aaltoili teräinen vilja.</p>
</body>

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
hyphenate_soup(soup, hyph_fi)
print(str(soup))
