# Gecliht (Gathered)

A disparate collection of text manipulation and formatting algorithms.

Algorithms are grouped under the categories:

* abbrev - finds a set of abbreviations from a group of words
* chapter_ordering - compares strings as if they were describing chapters or sections in a book
* formatters - for rearranging one or more strings ready for output
* metrics - for measuring the similarity of pairs of strings
* ngrams - for generating ngrams from a word
* phonetics - convert names into codes representing their sound
* stemmers - reduce words to a common 'stem' by removing endings
* stopwords - remove English stopwords from a list of words
