//! A library for parsing text for Twitter, including character counting with URL shortening.
//!
//! This is an implementation of the [twitter-text][] library that Twitter makes available as
//! reference code to demonstrate how they count characters in tweets and parse links, hashtags,
//! and user mentions.
//!
//! [twitter-text]: https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text
//!
//! The most likely entry point into this module is `character_count` or its close sibling,
//! `characters_remaining`. These functions parse the given text for URLs and returns a character
//! count according to [the rules set up by Twitter][character-counting], with the parsed URLs only
//! accounting for the given short-URL lengths. The remaining `*_entities` functions allow you to
//! parse a given text to see what entities of a given kind Twitter would extract from it, or for
//! all entities with the `entities` function.  These can be used, for example, to provide
//! auto-completion for a screen name or hashtag when composing a tweet.
//!
//! [character-counting]: https://dev.twitter.com/basics/counting-characters
//!
//! As the entities parsed by this module are simplified compared to the entities returned via the
//! Twitter API, they have been combined into one simplified `Entity` struct, with a companion
//! `EntityKind` enum to differentiate between them. See the struct documentation for `Entity` for
//! examples of how to use one.
