      public final class ASCIIFoldingFilter
      extends TokenFilter

  This class converts alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic Unicode characters which are not in the first 127 ASCII characters (the "Basic Latin" Unicode block) into their ASCII equivalents, if one exists.

  Characters from the following Unicode blocks are converted; however, only those characters with reasonable ASCII alternatives are converted:

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ASCIIFoldingFilter

          public ASCIIFoldingFilter​(TokenStream input)

    - #### ASCIIFoldingFilter

          public ASCIIFoldingFilter​(TokenStream input,
                                    boolean preserveOriginal)

      Create a new `ASCIIFoldingFilter`.
      Parameters:
        `input` - TokenStream to filter
        `preserveOriginal` - should the original tokens be kept on the input stream with a 0 position increment from the folded tokens?

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isPreserveOriginal

          public boolean isPreserveOriginal()

      Does the filter preserve the original tokens?

    - #### incrementToken

          public boolean incrementToken()
                                 throws IOException

      Specified by:
        `incrementToken` in class `TokenStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws IOException

      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `TokenFilter`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### foldToASCII

          public void foldToASCII​(char[] input,
                                  int length)

      Converts characters above ASCII to their ASCII equivalents. For example, accents are removed from accented characters.
      Parameters:
        `input` - The string to fold
        `length` - The number of characters in the input string

    - #### foldToASCII

          public static final int foldToASCII​(char[] input,
                                              int inputPos,
                                              char[] output,
                                              int outputPos,
                                              int length)

      Converts characters above ASCII to their ASCII equivalents. For example, accents are removed from accented characters.
      Parameters:
        `input` - The characters to fold
        `inputPos` - Index of the first character to fold
        `output` - The result of the folding. Should be of size >= `length * 4`.
        `outputPos` - Index of output where to put the result of the folding
        `length` - The number of characters to fold
      Returns:
        length of output
