Hello,
i'm looking at a rather current (Add a shell command to the file
MANIFEST.., 2013-01-24) version of the GNU (t)roff repo and i see
that hyphen.de was imported into groff:
Author: wl <wl>
Date: 2006-12-19 08:02:52 +0000
Add support for German. For activation, simply use -mde or -mden
(for traditional and new orthgraphy, respectively) as the last
macro package.
* tmac/de.tmac, tmac/den.tmac, tmac/hyphen.det, tmac/hyphen.den,
tmac/hyphenex.det: New files, partly taken from CTAN.
* LICENSES: Updated list of hyphenation patterns.
* man/groff_tmac.man: Mention de.tmac and den.tmac.
* NEWS: Updated.
That is great! But then i looked into hyphen.de(t) because of
a size mismatch with the version in my ..working.. macro package
and saw that it is not the version that Walter Schmidt updated for
the new German orthography in 2001.
Now i wonder why? (Well, except that i personally dislike and
disagree with it -- but it is official german in the end?)
Is anything wrong with it?
Thanks and Ciao,
