tsthy
Description
Used in the development of PTC ALD to test the hyphenation of a word. The result of the test is written to the error log (by default serrlog.3at) which, it should be noted, is overwritten when a new session of PTC ALD generates its own errors.
Example 291. Test English hyphenation of a word
The macro shown below tests PTC ALD English hyphenation of the word 'hyphenation' writing the results to serrlog.3at:
Examining serrlog.3at we can now see how PTC ALD will hyphenate the word using the hyphenation level set with thyc:
tsthy 16,"hyphenation"
!2
hyphenation
.3....6....
Example 292. Test hyphenation with the Dieckmann hyphenation dictionary
This example demonstrates how to test hyphenation with the Dieckman hyphenation dictionary.
A hyphenation type over 1000 * and over will use Dieckman hyphenation, e.g. the macro below will use Dieckmann English:
tsthy 1016,"hyphenation"
