I think this will also be useful for mobile.

@Harjot1Singh do we want to include larivaar in gurmukhi-utils or just do in in app.

I think it may be worth moving this into GU. Do you think others, or yourself would find it useful?

[sarabveer]

Sure, it could be moved into GU. I personally replace spaces with Zero-Width Spaces (U+200B) for Larivaar.

How would GU implement assist though, isn't that up to the app?

[saihaj]

Yeah assist will depend on the app

I thought about this more, and I realized this would be useful. Currently I have a set of regex lookups that properly format for larivaar.

I will look into implementing this sooner or later.

[bhajneet]

Can you give an example of how it's helpful? We just remove spaces at this time, so wondering what else is happening with regex

[bhajneet]

I still have no idea if there is a benefit to this function (which as far as I know simply strips whitespace), so closing for now, but open to implementing it if given some logic/programming requirements
