sylly: hyphenation and syllable counting for text analysis
sylly is an R1 that provides the hyphenation algorithm used for 'TeX'/'LaTeX' and similar software, as proposed by Liang (1983). mainly contains the function hyphen() to be used for hyphenation/syllable counting of text objects. it was originally developed for and part of the 'koRpus' package, but later released as a separate package so it's lighter to have this particular functionality available for other packages. support for various languages needs be added on-the-fly or by plugin packages2; this package does not include any language specific data.
