Gecliht (Gathered)

A disparate collection of text manipulation and formatting algorithms.

Algorithms are grouped under the categories:

• abbrev - finds a set of abbreviations from a group of words
• formatters - for rearranging one or more strings ready for output
• metrics - for measuring the similarity of pairs of strings
• ngrams - for generating ngrams from a word
• phonetics - convert names into codes representing their sound
• stemmers - reduce words to a common 'stem' by removing endings
