💖 mdbCharsetList(5) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to mdbCharsetList from The m17n Library — it's giving "the master list of character set definitions" and honestly? she's iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mdbCharsetList — the List of character set definitions. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: the m17n library loads a whole list of charset definitions out of the data of tag <charset-list>. and that data gets loaded as a plist of this exact format:

CHARSET-LIST ::= DEFINITION *

DEFINITION ::= '(' NAME ( KEY VALUE ) * ')'

NAME ::= SYMBOL

KEY ::= SYMBOL

VALUE ::= SYMBOL | INTEGER | MTEXT | PLIST

copy that verbatim, no cap. 🔥

okay so let's break it down, bestie:

  • NAME is a name of a charset to define. literally the name of the thing you're defining, that's her whole job. 👑
  • and the KEY and VALUE pair? that's a property that gets handed over to the function mchar_define_charset() as an element of the second argument plist. so every key-value duo is one lil present 🎁 being passed into that second argument plist, one at a time.
