Bug #: 39646
Summary: Scribunto needs sane Unicode string support
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Scribunto's built-in string module works with bytestrings. So if you have
something like "string.len('hüllo')", it will return 6. If you have something
like "string.reverse('hüllo')", it will return "oll��h".
This is fine for a programming language, I guess, but particularly for a case
like Scribunto (where template programmers are being targeted and there's
Unicode everywhere), sane Unicode string handling _must_ come with the
extension.
Victor Vasiliev has done some work on this already, I'm told, as a ustring
module. There's a C part and a Lua part. I've no idea where the code is, but
I'm told it's publicly available somewhere.
