Class	UnrecognisedCFormatString	Exception: C-style format string fails to parse.
Function	contract_rosetta_escapes	Replace Rosetta escape sequences with the real characters.
Function	expand_rosetta_escapes	Replace characters needing a Rosetta escape sequences.
Function	text_to_html	Convert a unicode text to a HTML representation.
Function	convert_newlines_to_web_form	Convert Unicode string to CR/LF line endings as used in web forms.
Function	count_lines	Count the number of physical lines in a string.
Function	parse_cformat_string	Parse C-style format string into sequence of segments.

def contract_rosetta_escapes(text):

Replace Rosetta escape sequences with the real characters.

def expand_rosetta_escapes(unicode_text):

Replace characters needing a Rosetta escape sequences.

def text_to_html(text, flags, space=TranslationConstants.SPACE_CHAR, newline=TranslationConstants.NEWLINE_CHAR):

Convert a unicode text to a HTML representation.

def convert_newlines_to_web_form(unicode_text):

Convert Unicode string to CR/LF line endings as used in web forms.

Any style of line endings is accepted: MacOS-style CR, MS-DOS-style CR/LF, or rest-of-world-style LF.

def count_lines(text):

Count the number of physical lines in a string.

This is always at least as large as the number of logical lines in a string.

def parse_cformat_string(string):

Parse C-style format string into sequence of segments.

The result is a sequence of tuples (type, content), where type is either "string" (for a plain piece of string) or "interpolation" (for a printf()-style substitution). The other part of the tuple, content, will be the part of the input string that makes up the given element, so either plain text or a printf substitution such as %s or %.3d.

As in printf(), the double parenthesis (%%) is taken as plain text.
