eshyph.tex 4.2a

Why 4.x? Well, I know at least other three files with the
same name, so this one is the fourth. The others should
vanish as soon as posible.

CervanTeX, the Spanish TeX User Group, has tackled the task of
writing a more complete set of patterns, but unfortunately the work
is a lot slower we expected.  The file division.pdf is a draft of an
article (in Spanish) explaining the rules to be applied and how they
are being translated into TeX in a unified set of patterns.

For bug reports and comments:

I would like to thanks Francesc Carmona for his permission
to steal parts of his work without restrictions. 

What's new in 4.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The encoding is UTF-8, so that it can be used with LuaTeX. Yet, it
works without changes with standard TeX.

What's new in 4.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Thanks to a list of about 750000 words and extensive
tests, wrong hyphenations have been reduced dramatically
and the number of patterns has been almost duplicated.

- Since the Spanish Academy rules of 1999 are very vague,
incomplete and even contradictory, they had to be
completed with some traditional ones. The Academy has
published new rules in November 2005 including many of
the traditional ones employed here and therefore only
minor adjustments have been necessary. 

- Patterns for a few verbal endings are necessary, and
now the "voseo" forms (used in many countries of Central
and South America) have been included.
