defmodule Localize.Message.Sigil do
@moduledoc """
Implements sigil `~M` to canonicalize an ICU message.
ICU messages allow for whitespace to be used to format the message
for developer and translator readability. At the same time, `gettext`
uses the message string as a key when resolving translations.
Therefore a developer or translator that modifies the message for
readability may unintentionally create a new message rather than
replace the old one simply because the message strings don't match
exactly.
The sigil `~M` therefore introduces a way for the developer to ensure
the message is in a canonical format during compilation and therefore
both error check the message format and ensure the message is in a
canonical form irrespective of developer formatting.
"""
@doc ~S"""
Handles the sigil `~M` for ICU message strings.
It returns a canonically formatted string without
interpolations and without escape characters, except
for the escaping of the closing sigil character itself.
A canonically formatted string is pretty-printed by
default returning a potentially multi-line string. This
is intended to produce a result which is easier to
comprehend for translators.
The modifier `u` can be applied to return a
non-pretty-printed string.
### Modifiers
* `p` (default) — pretty-print the message with indentation.
* `u` — return a non-pretty-printed (compact) string.
### Examples
iex> import Localize.Message.Sigil
iex> ~M(An ICU message)
"An ICU message"
