=head1 NAME

Unicode::LineBreak - UAX #14 Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Unicode::LineBreak;
    $lb = Unicode::LineBreak->new();
    $broken = $lb->break($string);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Unicode::LineBreak performs Line Breaking Algorithm described in Unicode
Standard Annex #14 [UAX #14]. East_Asian_Width informative property
defined by Annex #11 [UAX #11] will be concerned to determine breaking
positions.

=head2 Terminology

Following terms are used for convenience.

B<Mandatory break> is obligatory line breaking behavior defined by core
rules and performed regardless of surrounding characters.
B<Arbitrary break> is line breaking behavior allowed by core rules
and chosen by user to perform it.
Arbitrary break includes B<direct break> and B<indirect break>
defined by [UAX #14].

B<Alphabetic characters> are characters usually no line breaks are allowed
between pairs of them, except that other characters provide break
oppotunities.
B<Ideographic characters> are characters that usually allow line breaks
both before and after themselves.
[UAX #14] classifies most of alphabetic to AL and most of ideographic to ID
(These terms are inaccurate from the point of view by grammatology).
On several scripts, breaking positions are not obvious by each characters
therefore heuristic based on dictionary is used.

B<Number of columns> of a string is not always equal to the number of characters it contains:
Each of characters is either B<wide>, B<narrow> or nonspacing;
they occupy 2, 1 or 0 columns, respectively.
Several characters may be both wide and narrow by the contexts they are used.
Characters may have more various widths by customization.

=head1 CUSTOMIZATION

=head2 Formatting Lines

If you specify subroutine reference as a value of L</Format> option,
it should accept three arguments:

    $MODIFIED = &subroutine(SELF, EVENT, STR);

SELF is a Unicode::LineBreak object,
EVENT is a string to determine the context that subroutine was called in,
and STR is a fragment of Unicode string leading or trailing breaking position.

    EVENT |When Fired           |Value of STR
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    "sot" |Beginning of text    |Fragment of first line
    "sop" |After mandatory break|Fragment of next line
    "sol" |After arbitrary break|Fragment on sequel of line
    ""    |Just before any      |Complete line without trailing
          |breaks               |SPACEs
    "eol" |Arbitrary break      |SPACEs leading breaking position
    "eop" |Mandatory break      |Newline and its leading SPACEs
    "eot" |End of text          |SPACEs (and newline) at end of
          |                     |text
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

Subroutine should return modified text fragment or may return
C<undef> to express that no modification occurred.
Note that modification in the context of C<"sot">, C<"sop"> or C<"sol"> may
affect decision of successive breaking positions while in the others won't.

B<Note>:
String arguments are actually sequences of grapheme clusters.
See L<Unicode::GCString>.

For example, following code folds lines removing trailing spaces:

    sub fmt {
        if ($_[1] =~ /^eo/) {
            return "\n";
        }
        return undef;
    }
    my $lb = Unicode::LineBreak->new(Format => \&fmt);
    $output = $lb->break($text);

=head2 User-Defined Breaking Behaviors

When a line generated by arbitrary break is expected to be beyond measure of
either CharMax, ColMax or ColMin, B<urgent break> may be
performed on successive string.
If you specify subroutine reference as a value of L</Urgent> option,
it should accept two arguments:

    @BROKEN = &subroutine(SELF, STR);

SELF is a Unicode::LineBreak object and STR is a Unicode string to be broken.

Subroutine should return an array of broken string STR.

B<Note>:
String argument is actually a sequence of grapheme clusters.
See L<Unicode::GCString>.

For example, following code inserts hyphen to the name of several chemical substances (such as Titin) so that it may be folded:

    sub hyphenize {
        return map {$_ =~ s/yl$/yl-/; $_} split /(\w+?yl(?=\w))/, $_[1];
    }
    my $lb = Unicode::LineBreak->new(Urgent => \&hyphenize);
    $output = $lb->break("Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...");

If you specify [REGEX, SUBREF] array reference as any of L</Prep> option,
subroutine should accept two arguments:

    @BROKEN = &subroutine(SELF, STR);

SELF is a Unicode::LineBreak object and
STR is a Unicode string matched with REGEX.

Subroutine should return an array of broken string STR.

For example, following code will break HTTP URLs using [CMOS] rule.

    my $url = qr{http://[\x21-\x7E]+}i;
    sub breakurl {
        my $self = shift;
        my $str = shift;
        return split m{(?<=[/]) (?=[^/]) |
                       (?<=[^-.]) (?=[-~.,_?\#%=&]) |
                       (?<=[=&]) (?=.)}x, $str;
    }
    my $lb = Unicode::LineBreak->new(Prep => [$url, \&breakurl]);
    $output = $lb->break($string);

=head3 Preserving State

Unicode::LineBreak object can behave as hash reference.
Any items may be preserved throughout its life.

For example, following code will separate paragraphs with empty lines.

    sub paraformat {
        my $self = shift;
        my $action = shift;
        my $str = shift;
        
        if ($action eq 'sot' or $action eq 'sop') {
            $self->{'line'} = '';
        } elsif ($action eq '') {
            $self->{'line'} = $str;
        } elsif ($action eq 'eol') {
            return "\n";
        } elsif ($action eq 'eop') {
            if (length $self->{'line'}) {
                return "\n\n";
            } else {
                return "\n";
            }
        } elsif ($action eq 'eot') {
            return "\n";
        }
        return undef;
    }
    my $lb = Unicode::LineBreak->new(Format => \&paraformat);
    $output = $lb->break($string);

=head2 Calculating String Size

If you specify subroutine reference as a value of L</Sizing> option,
it will be called with five arguments:

    $COLS = &subroutine(SELF, LEN, PRE, SPC, STR);

SELF is a Unicode::LineBreak object, LEN is size of preceding string,
PRE is preceding Unicode string, SPC is additional SPACEs and STR is a
Unicode string to be processed.

Subroutine should return calculated number of columns of C<PRE.SPC.STR>.
The number of columns may not be an integer: Unit of the number may be freely chosen, however, it should be same as those of L</ColMin> and L</ColMax> option.

B<Note>:
String arguments are actually sequences of grapheme clusters.
See L<Unicode::GCString>.

For example, following code processes lines with tab stops by each eight columns.

    sub tabbedsizing {
        my ($self, $cols, $pre, $spc, $str) = @_;
    
        my $spcstr = $spc.$str;
        while ($spcstr->lbc == LB_SP) {
            my $c = $spcstr->item(0);
            if ($c eq "\t") {
                $cols += 8 - $cols % 8;
            } else {
                $cols += $c->columns;
            }
            $spcstr = $spcstr->substr(1);
        }
        $cols += $spcstr->columns;
        return $cols;
    };
    my $lb = Unicode::LineBreak->new(LBClass => [ord("\t") => LB_SP],
                                     Sizing => \&tabbedsizing);
    $output = $lb->break($string);

=head2 Tailoring Character Properties

Character properties may be tailored by L</LBClass> and L</EAWidth>
options.  Some constants are defined for convenience of tailoring.

=over 4

=item C<BACKWARD_QUOTES() =E<gt> LB_OP, FORWARD_QUOTES() =E<gt> LB_CL>

Some languages (Dutch, English, Italian, Portugese, Spanish, Turkish and
most East Asian) use rotated-9-style punctuations (E<0x2018> E<0x201C>) as
opening and 9-style punctuations (E<0x2019> E<0x201D>) as closing quotation
marks.

=head3 East_Asian_Width Properties

Some particular letters of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts have ambiguous
(A) East_Asian_Width property.  Thus, these characters are treated as wide
in C<"EASTASIAN"> context.
Specifying C<EAWidth =E<gt> [ AMBIGUOUS_>*C<() =E<gt> EA_N ]>,
those characters are always treated as narrow.

=over 4

=item C<AMBIGUOUS_ALPHABETICS() =E<gt> EA_N>

Treat all of characters below as East_Asian_Width neutral (N).

=item C<AMBIGUOUS_CYRILLIC() =E<gt> EA_N>

=item C<AMBIGUOUS_GREEK() =E<gt> EA_N>

=item C<AMBIGUOUS_LATIN() =E<gt> EA_N>

Treate letters having ambiguous (A) width of Cyrillic, Greek and Latin scripts
as neutral (N).

=back

On the other hand, despite several characters were occasionally rendered as wide characters by number of implementations for East Asian character sets, they are given narrow (Na) East_Asian_Width property just because they have fullwidth (F) compatibility characters.
Specifying C<EAWidth> as below, those characters are treated as ambiguous
--- wide on C<"EASTASIAN"> context.
