Ah, thank you. So you are mapping the Russian alpha-
bet to internal characters correspoinding to KOI-8-R
and then using hyphenation patterns in the same
encoding.
This way, not only UTF-8 input may be fed to groff,
but also KOI-8-R -- just omit preconv processing
(the -K or -k option to groff)!
Here's my understanding of what happens:
----------------------------------------------------
8-bit input UTF-8 input
----------------------------------------------------
The input file is read The input file is first
in, and the input map- processed by preconv,
ping, in your case speci- that converts input char-
fied in koi8-r.tmac, is acters into AGL-compati-
...skipping...
and then using a hyphenation pattern in the same
encoding.
This way, not only UTF-8 input may be fed to groff,
but also KOI-8-R -- just omit preconv processing
(the -K or -k option to groff)!
Here's my understanding of what happens:
Therefore, I suppose that groff applies the existing
character translations inversely to get back to some
simple characters. Then, hyphenation codes can be
computed and compared against the hyphenation pat
terns.
----------------------------------------------------
So, only the input stream gets processed by preconv,
while the hyphenation codes and patterns are read in
directly. To make pattern matching possible, a set
of .trin commands is used to define a mapping from
internal entites to simple input characters and, via
.hcode requests, to hyphenation codes.
But generally, this map cannot be inversely applied
becuase several input characters may be mapped into
one internal entity. What does groff do in this
case?
It wasn't clear that preconv is only used with input
files, but not with hyphenation codes and patterns.
