13 // The BreakIterator class iterates through the words, word breaks, and
14 // line breaks in a UTF-16 string.
16 // It provides several modes, BREAK_WORD, BREAK_LINE, and BREAK_NEWLINE,
17 // which modify how characters are aggregated into the returned string.
19 // Under BREAK_WORD mode, once a word is encountered any non-word
20 // characters are not included in the returned string (e.g. in the
21 // UTF-16 equivalent of the string " foo bar! ", the word breaks are at
22 // the periods in ". .foo. .bar.!. .").
23 // Note that Chinese/Japanese/Thai do not use spaces between words so that
24 // boundaries can fall in the middle of a continuous run of non-space /
25 // non-punctuation characters.
27 // Under BREAK_LINE mode, once a line breaking opportunity is encountered,
28 // any non-word characters are included in the returned string, breaking
29 // only when a space-equivalent character or a line breaking opportunity
30 // is encountered (e.g. in the UTF16-equivalent of the string " foo bar! ",
31 // the breaks are at the periods in ". .foo .bar! .").
33 // Note that lines can be broken at any character/syllable/grapheme cluster
34 // boundary in Chinese/Japanese/Korean and at word boundaries in Thai
35 // (Thai does not use spaces between words). Therefore, this is NOT the same
36 // as breaking only at space-equivalent characters where its former
37 // name (BREAK_SPACE) implied.
39 // Under BREAK_NEWLINE mode, all characters are included in the returned
40 // string, breaking only when a newline-equivalent character is encountered
41 // (eg. in the UTF-16 equivalent of the string "foo\nbar!\n\n", the line
42 // breaks are at the periods in ".foo\n.bar\n.\n.").
44 // To extract the words from a string, move a BREAK_WORD BreakIterator
45 // through the string and test whether IsWord() is true. E.g.,
46 // BreakIterator iter(str, BreakIterator::BREAK_WORD);
47 // if (!iter.Init())
48 // return false;
49 // while (iter.Advance()) {
50 // if (iter.IsWord()) {
51 // // Region [iter.prev(), iter.pos()) contains a word.
52 // VLOG(1) << "word: " << iter.GetString();
53 // }
54 // }
