text/format loops on long words

[Wybo Dekker]

This hangs, and it has to do with the last two words in the text to be
too long (make columns 1 larger or body_indent 1 less and it works):

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'text/format'
require 'tex/hyphen'

puts Text::Format.new(
:body_indent => 15,
:columns => 30,
:hyphenator => TeX::Hyphen.new,
:split_rules => Text::Format::SPLIT_HYPHENATION,
:hard_margins => true,
:text => "something pancakes electroencephalogram"
).paragraphs

I hope Austin Ziegler is looking...

I will look at this later this week. I am just back from a wonderful
vacation on the beaches of Cuba (got my hair braided and a wonderful
New Year's tan, thanks and still have to finish rebuilding my main
development computer after a catastrophic hard drive crash (I haven't
yet installed Ruby on the machine, but it has finally been downloaded;
I just need to get the Windows build environment(s) set up that I will
be using).

My plan as I get back into the swing of things is to address
Text::Format. In the interim, can you test with Text::Hyphen instead
of TeX::Hyphen? The hyphenation rules in Text::Hyphen for English are
a little more up-to-date, although this may not help. I will try to
figure this out and form it into a test case and fix the problem as I
put Text::Format 1.0.0 together.

For those people who are using Text::Format, I have a very important
question -- more people are using it than I had realised I want to
change the initialisation idiom from the current "anything goes" to
either the form you presented or the currently-preferred
initialisation block that yields self (rather than using
instance_eval).

Are you okay if I make this change in Text::Format, or should I follow
the concepts of TeX::Hyphen » Text::Hyphen and make this Text::Format
» Text::Formatter?

Text::Hyphen has the same problem. But I don't think it has to do with
the hyphenation algorithm. It's independent of the words used, only on
their lengths.=20

I have fixed this, I think, but it's not yet in CVS. I am making more
extensive changes as part of Text::Format 1.0.0 that this will be a
part of.
