This is a plugin for translating text to HOYGAN.

Requirements

The HOYGAN plugin requires the jQuery library already loaded.

Usage:

Once loaded in an HTML pade, the HOYGAN plugin can be used on arbitrary strings, in three different ways:

• Translating a string, as the plugin also extends the String object.

Example:

"this is a string".hoygan();

• Calling a function with a String as first parameter.

This is the original way of calling hoygan.

var result = $.hoygan("this is a string");

It also takes a second optional boolean parameter, indicating if the process will be randomized (given every time a different result) or deterministic (using the same logic, but with the string's properties instead of random generated numbers); true" for random, false for deterministic (default true).

var result = $.hoygan("this is a string", false);

This last funcionality is useful when it's intended to see the same output in different moments without losing the original text.

• Applying hoygan to a collection of HTML DOM nodes.

The plugin has an extension to jQuery object, wich is a collection of elements. When used this way, the plugin applies hoygan to the text and value of every object in the collection.

var result = $("div.to-be-translated-to-hoygan").hoygan();
