💖 mtext_lowercase — the m17n library, but make it lowercase 💖

okay bestie, welcome to m17n, and specifically to the little function that takes your text and whispers "lowercase era" at it. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

mtext_lowercase — literally just the name, the original page leaves it at that, and honestly? iconic minimalism. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mtext_lowercase (MText * mt)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: mtext_lowercase() takes an M-text and destructively converts every character in mt to lowercase. Destructively, bestie. As in it goes in and changes the actual thing, not a copy. main character energy, no photocopies. 💅

Some details you actually need to know, fr fr:

  • Characters that are adjacent to each other inside mt can affect how the case conversion goes down. It's not always a one-char-in-one-char-out situation.
  • If the Mlanguage text property is attached to mt, that can affect the conversion too.
  • The length of mt may change. yes really. so don't be out here assuming the length you started with is the length you're ending with. 🙈
  • Characters that cannot be converted to lowercase are just... left unchanged. they get to stay exactly as they are, no notes. 💀
  • All the text properties are inherited. all of them. 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

This function returns the length of the updated mt. that's the glow-up receipt, keep it. 🧚
