52 * A subclass of BreakIterator whose behavior is specified using a list of rules.
53 * <p>Instances of this class are most commonly created by the factory methods of
54 * BreakIterator::createWordInstance(), BreakIterator::createLineInstance(), etc.,
55 * and then used via the abstract API in class BreakIterator</p>
57 * <p>See the ICU User Guide for information on Break Iterator Rules.</p>
59 * <p>This class is not intended to be subclassed. (Class DictionaryBasedBreakIterator
60 * is a subclass, but that relationship is effectively internal to the ICU
61 * implementation. The subclassing interface to RulesBasedBreakIterator is
62 * not part of the ICU API, and may not remain stable.</p>

508 * Of the standard types of ICU break iterators, only word break and
