* and other MacOS applications that make use of Hunspell dictionaries.
Hunspell is based in principle on the algorithmic approach Franklin M. Liang developed in his 1983 PhD thesis. Raph Levien wrote a shorter explanation when Hunspell was committed to Mozilla in 1998.
This repository contains a compilation of Hunspell hyphenation files that do not come included with installs of the Affinity apps.
No spelling dictionaries are included in this repo, this is just hyphenation. Installing the spelling dictionaries can have performance implications, hence it is better to install them separately in an as-needed basis.
The source of many of these hyphenations files are
- https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language/Support
- https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries
- https://extensions.libreoffice.org/?q=hyphenation&action_doExtensionSearch=Search
- https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/search?query=hyphenation
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?SeB=n&K=hunspell-
Rename the downloaded *.oxt to *.zip and unzip it.
The files shall be converted to UTF-8 before inclusion in this repository.
To install these hyphenation files, copy them to ~/Library/Spelling/ and restart your Affinity apps, or install them to /Library/Spelling/ and restart your Macintosh.
