Yes, I think this could be fun. Or perhaps not. Either way, for my use case, for hyphenation analysis I can do a query to an API, but it just feels wrong not doing this in XQuery ;-)

Hi Daniel,

I’m not aware of any XQuery implementation. Would you like to give it a try? ;)

Best, Christian

Hi,

somewhat off-topic to BaseX, but I wonder if anybody already tried to port the

TeX hyphenation algorithm to XQuery?

...

See for example this Python port:

https://nedbatchelder.com/code/modules/hyphenate.py

>>> hyphenate_word("supercalifragilisticexpialidocious")
['su', 'per', 'cal', 'ifrag', 'ilis', 'tic', 'ex', 'pi', 'ali', 'do', 'cious']
