Unicode Type declarations
type Unicode = Char
Unicode is represented as the Char type Precondition for this is the support of Unicode character range in the compiler (e.g. ghc but not hugs)
type UString = [Unicode]
the type for Unicode strings
type UTF8Char = Char
UTF-8 charachters are represented by the Char type
type UTF8String = String
UTF-8 strings are implemented as Haskell strings
type UStringWithErrors = [Either String Char]
type DecodingFct = String -> (UString, [String])
Decoding function with a pair containing the result string and a list of decoding errors as result
type DecodingFctEmbedErrors = String -> UStringWithErrors
Decoding function where decoding errors are interleaved with decoded characters
XML char predicates
isXmlChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for valid XML characters
isXmlLatin1Char :: Unicode -> Bool
test for a legal latin1 XML char
isXmlSpaceChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML space character: \n, \r, \t and " "
isXml11SpaceChar :: Unicode -> Bool

checking for XML1.1 space character: additional space 0x85 and 0x2028

see also : isXmlSpaceChar

isXmlNameChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML name character
isXmlNameStartChar :: Unicode -> Bool

checking for XML name start character

see also : isXmlNameChar

isXmlNCNameChar :: Unicode -> Bool

checking for XML NCName character: no ":" allowed

see also : isXmlNameChar

isXmlNCNameStartChar :: Unicode -> Bool

checking for XML NCName start character: no ":" allowed

see also : isXmlNameChar, isXmlNCNameChar

isXmlPubidChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML public id character
isXmlLetter :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML letter
isXmlBaseChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML base charater
isXmlIdeographicChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML ideographic charater
isXmlCombiningChar :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML combining charater
isXmlDigit :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML digit
isXmlExtender :: Unicode -> Bool
checking for XML extender
isXmlControlOrPermanentlyUndefined :: Unicode -> Bool

checking for XML control or permanently discouraged char

see Errata to XML1.0 (http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-V10-2e-errata) No 46

Document authors are encouraged to avoid compatibility characters, as defined in section 6.8 of [Unicode] (see also D21 in section 3.6 of [Unicode3]). The characters defined in the following ranges are also discouraged. They are either control characters or permanently undefined Unicode characters:

UTF-8 and Unicode conversion functions
utf8ToUnicode :: DecodingFct
UTF-8 to Unicode conversion with deletion of leading byte order mark, as described in XML standard F.1
utf8ToUnicodeEmbedErrors :: DecodingFctEmbedErrors
latin1ToUnicode :: String -> UString
code conversion from latin1 to Unicode
ucs2ToUnicode :: String -> UString
UCS-2 to UTF-8 conversion with byte order mark analysis
ucs2BigEndianToUnicode :: String -> UString
UCS-2 big endian to Unicode conversion
ucs2LittleEndianToUnicode :: String -> UString
UCS-2 little endian to Unicode conversion
utf16beToUnicode :: String -> UString
UTF-16 big endian to UTF-8 conversion with removal of byte order mark
utf16leToUnicode :: String -> UString
UTF-16 little endian to UTF-8 conversion with removal of byte order mark
unicodeCharToUtf8 :: Unicode -> UTF8String
conversion from Unicode (Char) to a UTF8 encoded string.
unicodeToUtf8 :: UString -> UTF8String
conversion from Unicode strings (UString) to UTF8 encoded strings.
unicodeToXmlEntity :: UString -> String

substitute all Unicode characters, that are not legal 1-byte UTF-8 XML characters by a character reference.

This function can be used to translate all text nodes and attribute values into pure ascii.

see also : unicodeToLatin1

unicodeToLatin1 :: UString -> String

substitute all Unicode characters, that are not legal latin1 UTF-8 XML characters by a character reference.

This function can be used to translate all text nodes and attribute values into ISO latin1.

see also : unicodeToXmlEntity

unicodeRemoveNoneAscii :: UString -> String

removes all non ascii chars, may be used to transform a document into a pure ascii representation by removing all non ascii chars from tag and attibute names

see also : unicodeRemoveNoneLatin1, unicodeToXmlEntity

unicodeRemoveNoneLatin1 :: UString -> String

removes all non latin1 chars, may be used to transform a document into a pure ascii representation by removing all non ascii chars from tag and attibute names

see also : unicodeRemoveNoneAscii, unicodeToLatin1

intToCharRef :: Int -> String

convert an Unicode into a XML character reference.

see also : intToCharRefHex

intToCharRefHex :: Int -> String

convert an Unicode into a XML hexadecimal character reference.

see also: intToCharRef

getDecodingFct :: String -> Maybe DecodingFct
the lookup function for selecting the decoding function
getDecodingFctEmbedErrors :: String -> Maybe DecodingFctEmbedErrors
the lookup function for selecting the decoding function
getOutputEncodingFct :: String -> Maybe (String -> UString)
the lookup function for selecting the encoding function
normalizeNL :: String -> String

White Space (XML Standard 2.3) and end of line handling (2.11)

#x0D and #x0D#x0A are mapped to #x0A

guessEncoding :: String -> String
Produced by Haddock version 2.1.0
