NAME

hyphen - filter troff input, inserting conditional hyphenation  

SYNOPSIS

hyphen [file1 file2 ...]  

DESCRIPTION

Some words are exceptions to troff's built in hyphenation rules. While troff has a limited facility to handle such exceptions (the .hw command), the facility is easily overloaded. Hyphen is an alternative that inserts explicit conditional hyphenation (\%) into a system dependent list of exceptions.

This command copies the named files to standard output, inserting conditional hyphenation. If no files are specified, standard input is read.
