NAME

hyphen — find hyphenated words

SYNOPSIS

hyphen [files]

DESCRIPTION

hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in files and prints them on the standard output. If no arguments are given, the standard input is used; thus, hyphen can be used as a filter.

EXAMPLES

Prepare an nroff hyphenation proofreading file for textfile.

mm textfile | hyphen

WARNINGS

hyphen cannot cope with hyphenated italics (i.e., underlined) words; it often misses them completely or mangles them.

hyphen occasionally gets confused, but with no ill effects other than spurious extra output.

SEE ALSO

mm(1), nroff(1).
