README

This package provides a jargon filter to identify Twitter-style hanshtags and handles, combining them into a single token.

By default, the jargon tokenizer sees @ and # as separate tokens. This filter looks for those tokens, followed by a token which meets Twitter's rules for legal handles and hashtags. The result of two such tokens is a single token, i.e.:

"@" + "somename" → "@somename" "#" + "sometag" → "#sometag"

Usage

tokens := jargon.Tokenize(reader)
twittered := tokens.Filter(twitter.Hashtags, twitter.Handles)
