[Industrial application field]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is a word processor for creating / editing a Western document, such as an English word processor, which displays or hides a syllable hyphen input by an operator and set in the text, depending on its display position. Display / non-display control method.

[Conventional technology]

In Western texts such as English, when a line break occurs in the middle of a word, it is necessary to add a syllable hyphen at the end of the line for descriptive purposes.

In a conventional English word processor, when a syllable hyphen is set at the end of a line by, for example, operator input, the code of the syllable hyphen is written in the text, but the position of the syllable hyphen is changed by some editing process such as insertion or deletion of words. The syllable hyphen is deleted from the text so that the syllable hyphen will not be displayed when it comes to the middle of the line instead of the end of the line.

As a method to make syllable hyphens completely unconscious of the operator, a so-called English word wrap function is used to prevent line breaks in the middle of words when printing, and a word dictionary with syllable hyphen information is prepared. There is a method of automatically setting or removing the syllable hyphen, but it is inconvenient in some cases because it is done automatically, which may be rather inconvenient.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

According to the conventional method, when the syllable hyphen, which has been set once by the input of the operator, is located in the line. There was a problem that the syllable hyphen that was deleted from the text disappeared even if it appeared at the end of the line due to editing, and it had to be entered again to display it.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and when the position of a syllable hyphen that should originally be set only at the end of a line is changed by text editing, it is automatically displayed without the operator being aware of the position. Switch the non-display,
The purpose is to improve operability for editing.

[Means for solving problems]

 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 10 is a screen display code buffer in which character information to be displayed on the display is stored, 11 is a display control unit for controlling display on the display, 12 is a syllable hyphen inspection processing unit, and 13 is a syllable hyphen display process. Reference numeral 14 is a syllable hyphen non-display processing portion, 15 is a line buffer in which output information for one line to the display is stored, and 16 is a display.

In the screen display code buffer 10, the code of the character information of the portion of the input text to be displayed on the display 16 is stored by the editing process. The display control unit 11 is
When displaying this content on the display 16, the presence / absence of a syllable hyphen is inspected by the syllable hyphen inspection processing unit 12. When the syllable hyphen inspection processing unit 12 detects that a syllable hyphen appears at the end of a line, it activates the syllable hyphen display processing unit 13, and when it detects that the syllable hyphen appears in the line, the syllable hyphen non-display process. Start section 14. If there is no syllable hyphen, the conventional processing is performed.

The syllable hyphen display processing unit 13 causes the syllable hyphen appearing at the end of the line to end at the end of the line buffer.
Set to 15. The syllable hyphen non-display processing unit 14 removes the code of the syllable hyphen appearing in the line, and the line buffer 15 stores the character information for one line that has been subjected to the character filling process.
Set to. The display control unit 11 writes the contents of the line buffer 15 on the display 16.

[Action]

In the present invention, the syllable hyphen entered by the operator is retained as it is in the text on the memory, and at the time of display, display / non-display is dynamically performed depending on whether the syllable hyphen appears at the end of the line or in the line. Is decided.

Therefore, when the operator inputs a syllable hyphen at the end of a line, the syllable hyphen is displayed as is, and then some editing process (inserting words, deleting, etc.)
If the syllable hyphen moves to the middle of the line, the display of the syllable hyphen is suppressed while the text remains unchanged. Furthermore, if the syllable hyphen is located at the end of the line after the editing process is performed again, the syllable hyphen is displayed in the text because the syllable hyphen remains in the text.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a system configuration example according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG.
FIG. 4 shows an example of display / non-display of a syllable hyphen according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a schematic view of processing of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 correspond to those shown in FIG. Reference numeral 20 is a processing unit including a CPU and memory, 21 is a keyboard, 22 is a keyboard control unit that controls input from the keyboard 21, 23 is a document creation / editing processing unit that creates and edits English text, 24 Is an actual editing unit that edits text, 25 is an external storage device such as a magnetic disk device or floppy disk device, 26 is an input expansion unit that converts external format text into an internal format and expands it, and 27 is text information.
