#' @title
#' Split a String Into Text Lines
#'
#' @description
#' These functions split each character string in a given vector
#' into text lines.
#'
#' @details
#' Vectorized over \code{str} and \code{omit_empty}.
#'
#' \code{omit_empty} is applied when splitting. If set to \code{TRUE},
#' then empty strings will never appear in the resulting vector.
#'
#' Newlines are represented with the Carriage Return
#' (CR, 0x0D), Line Feed (LF, 0x0A), CRLF, or Next Line (NEL, 0x85) characters,
#' depending on the platform.
#' Moreover, the Unicode Standard defines two unambiguous separator characters,
#' the Paragraph Separator (PS, 0x2029) and the Line Separator (LS, 0x2028).
#' Sometimes also the Vertical Tab (VT, 0x0B) and the Form Feed (FF, 0x0C)
#' are used for this purpose.
#'
#' These \pkg{stringi} functions follow UTR#18 rules,
#' where a newline sequence
#' corresponds to the following regular expression:
#' \code{(?:\\u\{D A\}|(?!\\u\{D A\})[\\u\{A\}-\\u\{D\}\\u\{85\}\\u\{2028\}\\u\{2029\}]}.
#' Each match serves as a text line separator.
#'
#'
#' @param str character vector (\code{stri_split_lines})
#'        or a single string (\code{stri_split_lines1})
#' @param omit_empty logical vector; determines whether empty
#' strings should be removed from the result
#'    [\code{stri_split_lines} only]
#'
#' @return \code{stri_split_lines} returns a list of character vectors.
#' If any input string is \code{NA}, then the corresponding list element
#' is a single \code{NA} string.
#'
#' \code{stri_split_lines1(str)} is equivalent to
#' \code{stri_split_lines(str[1])[[1]]} (with default parameters),
#' therefore it returns a character vector. Moreover, if the input string
#' ends with a newline sequence, the last empty string is omitted from the
#  result. This function may come in handy if you wish to split a text
#' file's contents into text lines.

#' @title
#' Split a String at Text Boundaries
#'
#' @description
#' This function locates text boundaries
#' (like character, word, line, or sentence boundaries)
#' and splits strings at the indicated positions.
#'
#' @details
#' Vectorized over \code{str} and \code{n}.
#'
#' If \code{n} is negative (the default), then all text pieces are extracted.
#'
#' Otherwise, if \code{tokens_only} is \code{FALSE} (which is the default),
#' then \code{n-1} tokens are extracted (if possible) and the \code{n}-th string
#' gives the (non-split) remainder (see Examples).
#' On the other hand, if \code{tokens_only} is \code{TRUE},
#' then only full tokens (up to \code{n} pieces) are extracted.
#'
#' For more information on text boundary analysis
#' performed by \pkg{ICU}'s \code{BreakIterator}, see
#' \link{stringi-search-boundaries}.
#'
#' @param str character vector or an object coercible to
#' @param n integer vector, maximal number of strings to return
#' @param tokens_only single logical value; may affect the result if \code{n}
#' is positive, see Details
#' @param simplify single logical value; if \code{TRUE} or \code{NA},
#' then a character matrix is returned; otherwise (the default), a list of
#' character vectors is given, see Value
#' @param opts_brkiter a named list with \pkg{ICU} BreakIterator's settings,
#' see \code{\link{stri_opts_brkiter}}; \code{NULL} for the
#' default break iterator, i.e., \code{line_break}
#' @param ... additional settings for \code{opts_brkiter}
#'
#' @return If \code{simplify=FALSE} (the default),
#' then the functions return a list of character vectors.
#'
#' Otherwise, \code{\link{stri_list2matrix}} with \code{byrow=TRUE}
#' and \code{n_min=n} arguments is called on the resulting object.
#' In such a case, a character matrix with \code{length(str)} rows
#' is returned. Note that \code{\link{stri_list2matrix}}'s \code{fill}
#' argument is set to an empty string and \code{NA},
#' for \code{simplify} equal to \code{TRUE} and \code{NA}, respectively.
