014/**
015 * This is a chain of three transformations:
016 * <ol>
017 *      <li>replace diacritical characters with their Latin equivalent ({@link NormaliseDiacriticalMarksTransformer})</li>
018 *      <li>replace all non-alphabetic characters with {@link #replacement} (default: space)</li>
019 *      <li>replace multiple whitespace occurrences with one whitespace</li>
020 * </ul>
021 * Returns a trimmed result.
022 * <br/>
023 * This transformer works with Unicode text, unlike {@link StripNonAsciiAlphabeticCharactersTransformer}.
