1[](https://travis-ci.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen) 2 3This is the central repository for all hyphenation patterns (that we know of). 4These patterns are encoded in UTF-8, but can also be used with 8-bit TeX 5engines such as pdfTeX with the help of mechanisms provided with the package. 6It is meant to be a low-level package and is integrated with all major TeX 7distributions (TeX Live, MiKTeX, W32TeX); most TeX users should thus not 8concern themselves with this package, unless of course they’re working on the 9hyphenation patterns themselves. 10 11We upload the package to CTAN regularly and use git tags to identify versions; 12a CTAN upload has a version date in the form `yyyy-mm-dd`, corresponding to tag 13`CTAN-yyyy.mm.dd` in this git repository. Because the package contains 14contributions from many different sources that are not updated at the same 15time, we felt this was this best choice for version identifiers. 16 17If you are an author of hyphenation patterns and want to add or update them, 18please contact the maintainers through the mailing list: tex-hyphen@tug.org 19You can also visit the [TeX hyphenation page](http://www.hyphenation.org/tex) for more 20information and technical details. 21 22# Running 23`bundle` (or `bundle install`) 24`bundle exec rake` runs the default task in the Rakefile. 25
