BreakIterator is an abstract base class. * Instances of BreakIterator maintain a current position and scan over * text returning the index of characters where boundaries occur. * <p> * Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be broken * when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles punctuation and * hyphenated words. * <p> * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct * interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and * trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses. * <p> * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or * punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides. * <p> * Character boundary analysis allows users to interact with * characters as they expect to, for example, when moving the cursor * through a text string. Character boundary analysis provides correct * navigation of through character strings, regardless of how the * character is stored. For example, an accented character might be * stored as a base character and a diacritical mark. What users * consider to be a character can differ between languages. * <p> * The text boundary positions are found according to the rules * described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and * Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties. These * are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/. * <p> * In addition to the C++ API defined in this header file, a * plain C API with equivalent functionality is defined in the * file ubrk.h * <p> * Code snippits illustrating the use of the Break Iterator APIs * are available in the ICU User Guide, * http://icu-project.org/userguide/boundaryAnalysis.html * and in the sample program icu/source/samples/break/break.cpp" * */ class U_COMMON_API BreakIterator : public UObject { public: /** * destructor * @stable ICU 2.0 */ virtual ~BreakIterator(); /** * Return true if another object is semantically equal to this * one.
