pango:attr-list-to-string (attrlist)

attrlist -- a pango:attr-list instance

The string for the serialized attributes.

Serializes a pango-attr-list instance to a string. In the resulting string, serialized attributes are separated by newlines or commas. Individual attributes are serialized to a string of the form

START END TYPE VALUE  

Where START and END are the indices, with -1 being accepted in place of MAXUINT, TYPE is the nickname of the attribute value type, for example weight or stretch, and the value is serialized according to its type:

• enum values as nick or numeric value
• boolean values as true or false
• integers and floats as numbers
• strings as string, optionally quoted
• font features as quoted string
• Pango language as string
• Pango font description as serialized by the pango:font-description-to-string function
• pango:color instances as serialized by the pango:color-to-string function

To parse the returned value, use the pango:attr-list-from-string function.

Note that shape attributes can not be serialized.
