Re: [libcroco-list] Some library user feedback...

Offset wil always be byte based but it will be the beginning of a correct UTF-8 char,
line will be the number of '\n' encountered so far plus one, and line-offset will be the offset of the next
character after the last '\n' or zero. If you substract line-offset from offset you have the column,
in number of bytes if you want.

I am not sure I am parsing this correctly. Could you say again what kind
of position information will be available? Since I'm basically planning
to feed only proper UTF-8 to libcroco, I can do without byte positions,
but I would need character positions and avoid that my library and lib-
croco have a different idea of what a line is.
