- -- This package contains the routine used to convert wide strings to
- -- strings for use by wide character attributes (value, image etc.) and
- -- also by the numeric IO subpackages of Ada.Text_IO.Wide_Text_IO.

- -- This routine simply takes its argument and converts it to a string,
- -- using the internal compiler escape sequence convention (defined in
- -- package Widechar) to translate characters that are out of range
- -- of type String. In the context of the Wide_Value attribute, the
- -- argument is the original attribute argument, and the result is used
- -- in a call to the corresponding Value attribute function. 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 result string. EM indicates the wide character encoding method.
