NAME

XctNextItem — parse the next item in a Compound Text string. 

SYNOPSIS

#include <X11/Xmu/Xct.h>

XctResult XctNextItem(data)
      XctData data;

ARGUMENTS

dataSpecifies the Compound Text structure. 

DESCRIPTION

XctNextItem parses the next item in the Compound Text string.  The return value indicates what kind of item is returned.  The item itself, it’s length, and the current contextual state, are reported as components of the XctData structure.  XctResult is an enumeration, with the following values:

XctSegment
The item contains some mixture of C0, GL, GR, and C1 characters.

XctC0Segment
The item contains only C0 characters.

XctGLSegment
The item contains only GL characters.

XctC1Segment
the item contains only C1 characters.

XctGRSegment
the item contains only GR characters.

XctExtendedSegment
The item contains an extended segment.

XctExtension
The item is an unknown extension control sequence.

XctHorizontal
The item indicates a change in horizontal direction or depth.  The new direction and depth are recorded in the XctData structure. 

XctEndOfText
The end of the Compound Text string has been reached.

XctError
The string contains a syntactic or semantic error; no further parsing should be performed.
