35 * \brief C API: BreakIterator
36 *
37 * <h2> BreakIterator C API </h2>
38 *
39 * The BreakIterator C API defines methods for finding the location
40 * of boundaries in text. Pointer to a UBreakIterator maintain a
41 * current position and scan over text returning the index of characters
42 * where boundaries occur.
73c04bcf 43 * <p>
b75a7d8f
A
44 * Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be broken
45 * when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles punctuation and
46 * hyphenated words.
73c04bcf 47 * <p>
b331163b
A
48 * Note: The locale keyword "lb" can be used to modify line break
49 * behavior according to the CSS level 3 line-break options, see
50 * <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text/#line-breaking>. For example:
51 * "ja@lb=strict", "zh@lb=loose".
52 * <p>
b75a7d8f
A
53 * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct
54 * interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and
55 * trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
73c04bcf 56 * <p>
b331163b
A
57 * Note: The locale keyword "ss" can be used to enable use of
58 * segmentation suppression data (preventing breaks in English after
59 * abbreviations such as "Mr." or "Est.", for example), as follows:
2ca993e8 60 * "en@ss=standard".
b331163b 61 * <p>
b75a7d8f
A
62 * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
63 * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
64 * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
65 * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
66 * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or
67 * punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
73c04bcf 68 * <p>
729e4ab9
A
69 * Character boundary analysis identifies the boundaries of
70 * "Extended Grapheme Clusters", which are groupings of codepoints
71 * that should be treated as character-like units for many text operations.
72 * Please see Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation,
73 * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/ for additional information
74 * on grapheme clusters and guidelines on their use.
73c04bcf 75 * <p>
b75a7d8f
A
76 * Title boundary analysis locates all positions,
77 * typically starts of words, that should be set to Title Case
78 * when title casing the text.
73c04bcf
A
79 * <p>
80 * The text boundary positions are found according to the rules
81 * described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and
82 * Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties. These
83 * are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and
84 * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/.
85 * <p>
86 * In addition to the plain C API defined in this header file, an
87 * object oriented C++ API with equivalent functionality is defined in the
88 * file brkiter.h.
89 * <p>
729e4ab9 90 * Code snippets illustrating the use of the Break Iterator APIs
46f4442e
A
91 * are available in the ICU User Guide,
92 * http://icu-project.org/userguide/boundaryAnalysis.html
729e4ab9 93 * and in the sample program icu/source/samples/break/break.cpp

533 * and replaces them with references to the new.
