- - ### Method Detail

    - #### addClass

          void addClass(java.lang.String chargroup)

      Add a character class. A character class defines characters that are considered equivalent for the purpose of hyphenation (e.g. "aA"). It usually means to ignore case.
      Parameters:
        `chargroup` - character group

    - #### addException

          void addException(java.lang.String word,
                            java.util.ArrayList hyphenatedword)

      Add a hyphenation exception. An exception replaces the result obtained by the algorithm for cases for which this fails or the user wants to provide his own hyphenation. A hyphenatedword is a vector of alternating String's and `Hyphen` instances
      Parameters:
        `word` - word to add as an exception
        `hyphenatedword` - pre-hyphenated word

    - #### addPattern

          void addPattern(java.lang.String pattern,
                          java.lang.String values)

      Add hyphenation patterns.
      Parameters:
        `pattern` - the pattern
        `values` - interletter values expressed as a string of digit characters.
