Orthographic Features

ADDITIONAL_FEATURES?

optional ADDITIONAL_FEATURES: (WordFeature | SyllableFeature | ClusterFeature)[]

Rules for customized output

This property is an array of objects with the following properties each:

• FEATURE: the type of feature that the rule is checking — “word”, “syllable”, or “cluster”
• HEBREW: the Hebrew text that the rule matches, given as a string or Regex
• PASS_THROUGH?: An optional property; true if the rule should pass the characters of the result of the TRANSLITERATION callback to the be mapped to the schema
• TRANSLITERATION: the output of the rule, either a string or a callback whose properties differ based on the FEATURE

The examples give the best indication of how to use these features, though see the particular types for more details

Examples
