 Place all code for Hyphenopoly at the top of the header (immediatly after the `<title>` tag) to ensure ressources are loaded as early as possible.
 You'll have to insert two script blocks. In the first block provide the initial configurations for Hyphenopoly_Loader as inline script. In the second block load Hyphenopoly_Loader.js as external script.

 # Automatic hyphenation
 The algorithm used for hyphenation was developped by Franklin M. Liang for TeX. It works more or less like this:
