2017-04-24stdlib: Add Unicode modifier t to control sequences w and WHans Bolinder
As of the introduction of Unicode characters in atoms, the control sequences 'w' and 'W' can return non-Latin-1 characters, unless some measure is taken. This commit makes sure that '~w' and '~W' always return Latin-1 characters, or bytes, which can be output to ports or written to raw files. The Unicode translation modifier 't' is needed to return non-Latin-1 characters.

2015-03-10Make the scanned form of the io_lib format strings available for processingRichard Carlsson
This adds three new functions to io_lib - scan_format/2, unscan_format/1, and build_text/1 - which expose the parsed form of the format control sequences to make it possible to easily modify or filter the input to io_lib:format/2. This can e.g. be used in order to replace unbounded-size control sequences like ~w or ~p with corresponding depth-limited ~W and ~P before doing the actual formatting.

2013-01-25Extend char() to Unicode charactersHans Bolinder
The code related to the introduction of unicode_string() and unicode_char() has been removed. The types char() and string() have been extended to include Unicode characters. In fact char() was changed some time ago; this commit is about cleaning up the documentation and introduce better names for some functions.

2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.
