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