What is it?#
iambic
was originally envisioned as a tool for translating
Shakespearean text into actionable information, i.e.:
- How many lines are in this particular play?
- How many lines does a given character speak in this play?
- Which characters speak, in which scenes and acts?
As a result of the implementation, this tool can be applied to any body of text which adhere’s to its parsing syntax.
