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