-- 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.
