Enum textwrap::WordSeparator

pub enum WordSeparator {
    AsciiSpace,
    Custom(fn(line: &str) -> Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Word<'_>>>),
}

Describes where words occur in a line of text.

The simplest approach is say that words are separated by one or more ASCII spaces (' '). This works for Western languages without emojis. A more complex approach is to use the Unicode line breaking algorithm, which finds break points in non-ASCII text.

The line breaks occur between words, please see WordSplitter for options of how to handle hyphenation of individual words.

Examples

use textwrap::core::Word;
use textwrap::WordSeparator::AsciiSpace;

let words = AsciiSpace.find_words("Hello World!").collect::<Vec<_>>();
assert_eq!(words, vec![Word::from("Hello "), Word::from("World!")]);

Variants

AsciiSpace

Find words by splitting on runs of ' ' characters.

Examples

use textwrap::core::Word;
use textwrap::WordSeparator::AsciiSpace;

let words = AsciiSpace.find_words("Hello   World!").collect::<Vec<_>>();
assert_eq!(words, vec![Word::from("Hello   "),
                       Word::from("World!")]);

Custom(fn(line: &str) -> Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Word<'_>>>)

Find words using a custom word separator

Implementations

impl WordSeparator

pub fn find_words<'a>(
    &self,
    line: &'a str
) -> Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Word<'a>> + 'a>
