hyphenator
==========

[](#hyphenator)

Hyphenator is an object-oriented and cache-enabled port of phpHyphenator() which is a PHP port of the JavaScript Hyphenator by Mathias Nater().

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Just add `typearea/hyphenator` to Your `composer.json` and run `composer.phar update` to add Hyphenator to Your project.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

see `sample.php`

Performance
-----------

[](#performance)

Consider using `MemcachedCache` or `ApcCache` to improve performance. When a cache is present, Hyphenator will cache calls to the `hyphenate()` method and only translate a text if needed. Hyphenator will also cache the conversion of language patterns after including, which is CPU-heavy.
