Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

Modifies orig to cover only the text after split.index, and returns a new item that covers the text before split.index that used to be in orig. You can think of split.index as the length of the returned item. split.index may not be 0, and it may not be greater than or equal to the length of orig (that is, there must be at least one byte assigned to each item, you can't create a zero-length item). split.offset is the length of the first item in chars, and must be provided because the text used to generate the item isn't available, so pangoItemSplit can't count the char length of the split items itself.
