Show human readable details of syllabification in the CLI tool

[kikocorreoso]

I was thinking in the addition of a new option for the command line. Something like:

$ pylabeador --full torpedo

That provides a more complete output than just ['tor', 'pe', 'do'].

If you agree i can implement this this week and then you can prepare a new release. If you don't like the enhancement just close it and prepare the new release 👍

So right now the command line tool outputs tor-pe-do for that, I guess you mean to show some output like the stressed syllable and where the accent is, or even more?

What is the use you have in mind for this? Human consumption or other tools?

[kikocorreoso]

Mainly human consumption. Just to provide more information from the command line as it is already in the library and it would be easy to also provide this information.

Let's design the output here. How about this:

Word: drástico
Syllables: drás-ti-co
Stressed syllable: 1 drás *drás*tico
Accent: 3 á dr*á*stico

This would use 1-based indexing (for humans :P) for both stressed and accented.

I'm not sure about the use of outputting the accented letter since it is visible, but I do not have a use for this and you do, so please let me know what you think.

[kikocorreoso]

Yes, something like this.

I'm thinking in an educational resource for kids and, maybe, for foreigners that are learning spanish and could be confused by the accented vowels. I would remove the numbers in the output as this would be more focused on human consumption. Maybe something like this?

Word: drástico
Syllables: drás-ti-co
Stressed syllable: *drás*tico
                    ^^^^
Accent: dr*á*stico
           ^

OTOH, this could be inplemented in an easy way by one consuming the pylabeador API so, please, decide, if you would like this included or do you prefer to KISS:

$ pylabeadorl drástico
drás-ti-co
$ pylabeador --full drástico
Word: drástico
Syllables: drás-ti-co
Stressed syllable: *drás*tico
                    ^^^^
Accent: dr*á*stico
           ^

Sorry for leaving this hanging for so long without an answer. I'm not working on this immediately but not closing it either. I'd like to prioritize changes with a practical application, rather than enhancing the tool to cater for possible uses, I hope that is understandable.
