Tamil: 3.2 Hyphenation #23

3.2 Hyphenation https://w3c.github.io/iip/gap-analysis/taml-gap.html#hyphenation

Comment from Muthu:

There are some simple rules for line breaking. Different people use different implementations. However, I can’t find a decent document for this online. Here’s a paper presented at a conference held in Singapore: https://www.academia.edu/671796/Tamil_Hyphenator_P._David_Prabhakar. The First 3 rules in the section Rules for Tamil Hyphenation is a good start.

This issue was discussed in a meeting.

I added a brief section on Hyphenation to the LREQ document.

And another to the gap-analysis doc.

Comments welcome.

Note also that i created an interactive test for testing hyphenation, and a test script - not that it shows anything, since browsers don't support Tamil hyphenation afaict.
