Adds start and end character positions to tag structure - available to tag transformers #151

Closed SoftwareEngineerChris closed 10 months ago

SoftwareEngineerChris commented 2 years ago

This change introduces tag character positions relative to the original string as part of the Tag structure. These can then be used by TagTransformer transformation functions.

It may not be immediately obvious why this change may be useful, but I have found it to be quite useful for extracting content that wouldn't be suitable for attributed string transformation from within content that is suitable for attributed string transformation.

For example, if the html being transformed is mostly transformable content, but contains an iframe tag, or a Twitter blockquote somewhere within it, the positions of these tags (opening and/or closing) have been useful in order to split, extract, and treat them accordingly.

I've used emojis with variations to include grapheme clusters in the unit test to ensure the String.Index values handle these correctly (via UTF16).
