Struct icu_segmenter::LineSegmenter

pub struct LineSegmenter { /* private fields */ }

Supports loading line break data, and creating line break iterators for different string encodings.

The segmenter returns mandatory breaks (as defined by definition LD7 of Unicode Standard Annex #14, Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm) as well as line break opportunities (definition LD3). It does not distinguish them. Callers requiring that distinction can check the Line_Break property of the code point preceding the break against those listed in rules LB4 and LB5, special-casing the end of text according to LB3.

For consistency with the grapheme, word, and sentence segmenters, there is always a breakpoint returned at index 0, but this breakpoint is not a meaningful line break opportunity.

let text = "Summary\r\nThis annex…";
let breakpoints: Vec<usize> = segmenter.segment_str(text).collect();
// 9 and 22 are mandatory breaks, 14 is a line break opportunity.
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 9, 14, 22]);

// There is a break opportunity between emoji, but not within the ZWJ sequence 🏳️‍🌈.
let flag_equation = "🏳️➕🌈🟰🏳️\u{200D}🌈";
let possible_first_lines: Vec<&str> =
    segmenter.segment_str(flag_equation).skip(1).map(|i| &flag_equation[..i]).collect();
assert_eq!(
    &possible_first_lines,
    &[
        "🏳️",
        "🏳️➕",
        "🏳️➕🌈",
        "🏳️➕🌈🟰",
        "🏳️➕🌈🟰🏳️‍🌈"
    ]
);

Examples

Segment a string with default options:

use icu::segmenter::LineSegmenter;

let segmenter = LineSegmenter::new_auto();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> =
    segmenter.segment_str("Hello World").collect();
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 6, 11]);

Segment a string with CSS option overrides:

use icu::segmenter::{
    LineBreakOptions, LineBreakStrictness, LineBreakWordOption,
    LineSegmenter,
};

let mut options = LineBreakOptions::default();
options.strictness = LineBreakStrictness::Strict;
options.word_option = LineBreakWordOption::BreakAll;
options.content_locale = None;
let segmenter = LineSegmenter::new_auto_with_options(options);

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> =
    segmenter.segment_str("Hello World").collect();
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]);

Segment a Latin1 byte string:

use icu::segmenter::LineSegmenter;

let segmenter = LineSegmenter::new_auto();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> =
    segmenter.segment_latin1(b"Hello World").collect();
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 6, 11]);

Separate mandatory breaks from the break opportunities:

use icu::properties::{props::LineBreak, CodePointMapData};
use icu::segmenter::LineSegmenter;

let text = "Summary\r\nThis annex…";

let mandatory_breaks: Vec<usize> = segmenter
    .segment_str(text)
    .into_iter()
    .filter(|&i| {
        text[..i].chars().next_back().map_or(false, |c| {
            matches!(
                CodePointMapData::<LineBreak>::new().get(c),
                LineBreak::MandatoryBreak
                    | LineBreak::CarriageReturn
                    | LineBreak::LineFeed
                    | LineBreak::NextLine
            ) || i == text.len()
        })
    })
    .collect();
assert_eq!(&mandatory_breaks, &[9, 22]);

Implementations

impl LineSegmenter

pub fn new_auto() -> Self

Constructs a LineSegmenter with an invariant locale and the best available compiled data for complex scripts (Khmer, Lao, Myanmar, and Thai).

The current behavior, which is subject to change, is to use the LSTM model when available.

pub fn new_lstm() -> Self

Constructs a LineSegmenter with an invariant locale and compiled LSTM data for complex scripts (Khmer, Lao, Myanmar, and Thai).

The LSTM, or Long Term Short Memory, is a machine learning model. It is smaller than the full dictionary but more expensive during segmentation (inference).
