All Implemented Interfaces:

Transformer
```
public class StripNonAlphabeticCharactersTransformer
extends Object
implements Transformer

This is a chain of three transformations:
1. replace diacritical characters with their Latin equivalent (NormaliseDiacriticalMarksTransformer)
2. replace all non-alphabetic characters with replacement (default: space)
3. replace multiple whitespace occurrences with one whitespace

Returns a trimmed result.
This transformer works with Unicode text, unlike StripNonAsciiAlphabeticCharactersTransformer.
