Input string to clean.
.TP
.B "const FriBidiStrIndex len"
Input string length.

.B "FriBidiStrIndex *positions_to_this"
List mapping positions to the
order used in str.

.B "FriBidiStrIndex *position_from_this_list"
List mapping positions from the
order used in str.
.TP
.B "FriBidiLevel *embedding_levels"
List of embedding levels.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This function removes the bidi and boundary-neutral marks out of an string
and the accompanying lists.  It implements rule X9 of the Unicode
Bidirectional Algorithm available at
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#X9, with the exception that it removes
U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK and U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK too.

If any of the input lists are NULL, the list is skipped.  If str is the
visual string, then positions_to_this is  positions_L_to_V and
position_from_this_list is positions_V_to_L;  if str is the logical
string, the other way. Moreover, the position maps should be filled with
valid entries.

A position map pointing to a removed character is filled with \(hy1. By the
way, you should not use embedding_levels if str is visual string.

For best results this function should be run on a whole paragraph, not
lines; but feel free to do otherwise if you know what you are doing.
Deprecated.  Use fribidi_remove_special_chars instead.
.SH "RETURNS"
New length of the string, or \(hy1 if an error occurred (memory
allocation failure most probably).
