Add filter latex-hyphen #95

Closed frederik-elwert closed 4 years ago

frederik-elwert commented 4 years ago

Adds a filter that replaces intra-word hyphens with the raw LaTeX expression "= for improved hyphenation.

Rationale

The regular hyphen - prevents LaTeX from breaking a word at any other position than the explicit hyphen. With long, hyphenated words as they occur in languages like German, this can lead to undesirable visual results. The expression "= outputs a normal hyphen while still allowing LaTeX to break the word at any other position according to its regular hyphenation rules.

Beautiful! My only request is to brake lines in the README to limit line length to 80 chars or less. If you are using a supported editor, you could try editorconfig. It should automatically apply the repo's preferred style.

I forgot: could you also add a small header to the Lua file? A short description, copyright notice, and license would be great.

We should probably add a note about this to the main README.
