Adding Hyphenation Dictionaries to built-in Oxygen Chemistry

I'm using a customization of the "DITA Map PDF -based on HTML5 and CSS" transformation scenario built into Oxygen. If I'm reading the documentation correctly, this scenario supports a huge number of languages, however, it only has hyphenation dictionaries for a few of them. I need hyphenation dictionaries for 8 of the supported languages that do not have built-in hyphenation dictionaries.

A page on the general Chemistry User Manual (https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... yling.html) shows how to add TeX hyphenation dictionaries available on Sourceforge. The instructions tell you to put a certain jar file into the [CHEMISTRY_INSTALL_DIR]/lib directory. I cannot figure out what that directory is for the Chemistry engine built into Oxygen.

How do I add hyphenation dictionaries to the Chemistry engine built into Oxygen? (Or, does Oxygen come with extra hyphenation dictionaries that are not mentioned in the documentation?)

Hello,

Indeed, we need to update the documentation. Please read "Oxygen installation directory" instead of "Chemistry installation directory".

So, please follow these steps:

1. Download (https://sourceforge.net/projects/offo/files/) and extract the offo-hyphenation-compiled.zip file.
2. Copy the fop-hyph.jar file to the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/lib directory.
3. If you just need a single dictionary, place the .hyp file in the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/config/hyph directory. Create that directories if missing.

You may need administrative rights to change files in the installation directory.

Many regards,
Dan
