-- This package contains the routine used to convert strings to wide (wide)
-- strings for use by wide (wide) image attribute.

L : out Natural;
EM : System.WCh_Con.WC_Encoding_Method);
-- This routine simply takes its argument and converts it to wide string
-- format, storing the result in R (1 .. L), with L being set appropriately
-- on return. The caller guarantees that R is long enough to accomodate the
-- result. This is used in the context of the Wide_Image attribute, where
-- the argument is the corresponding 'Image attribute. Any wide character
-- escape sequences in the string are converted to the corresponding wide
-- character value. No syntax checks are made, it is assumed that any such
-- sequences are validly formed (this must be assured by the caller), and
-- results from the fact that Wide_Image is only used on strings that have
-- been built by the compiler, such as images of enumeration literals. If
-- the method for encoding is a shift-in, shift-out convention, then it is
-- assumed that normal (non-wide character) mode holds at the start and end
-- of the argument string. EM indicates the wide character encoding method.
-- Note: in the WCEM_Brackets case, the brackets escape sequence is used
-- only for codes greater than 16#FF#.
