FO: German Word Separation?

Hello to all!

Can anybody tell me, whether there are country - specific algorithms for
word separation in FO?
I live in Germany and my long column captions (in German) are being
wrong separated.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Viktor

Hello Victor,

You can set the language for hyphenation, for example, in an fo:block like
this:

<fo:block text-align="left"
      language="de_DR"
      hyphenate="true"
      hyphenation-push-character-count="2"
      hyphenation-remain-character-count="2">

If you look in your FOP directory under hyph/ you see the various
hyphenation files. de_DR.xml is the new orthography, de.xml is the old
orthography.
HTH,

Marc
