=== Letter Tokenizer
|
|
|
|
The `letter` tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a
|
|
character which is not a letter. It does a reasonable job for most European
|
|
languages, but does a terrible job for some Asian languages, where words are
|
|
not separated by spaces.
|

|
|
[float]

|
=== Example output

|
|
|
