Function

Pango-1.0 ▶ Pango ▶ parse_markup

  • Parses marked-up text to create a plain-text string and an attribute list.

    See the Pango Markup docs for details about the supported markup.

    If accel_marker is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, accel_marker might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a Pango.Underline.LOW attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in accel_char. Two accel_marker characters following each other produce a single literal accel_marker character.

    To parse a stream of pango markup incrementally, use markup_parser_new.

    If any error happens, none of the output arguments are touched except for error.

    Parameters

    • markup_text: string

      markup to parse (see the Pango Markup docs)

    • length: number

      length of markup_text, or -1 if nul-terminated

    • accel_marker: string

      character that precedes an accelerator, or 0 for none

    Returns [boolean, AttrList, string, string]

    false if error is set, otherwise true
