Usage

Text to runes: ```rust // Ships five dialects in separate modules. use riimut::youngerfuthark; use riimut::elderfuthark; use riimut::medievalfuthork; use riimut::futhorc; use riimut::stavelessfuthark;

// From Old Groms runestone. let youngerfuthark = youngerfuthark::letterstorunes("auk tani karþi kristna"); println!(younger_futhark); // "ᛅᚢᚴ:ᛏᛅᚾᛁ:ᚴᛅᚱᚦᛁ:ᚴᚱᛁᛋᛏᚾᛅ"

// From 4th century axe in Jutland let elderfuthark = elderfuthark::letterstorunes("wagagastiz alu wihgu sikijaz aiþalataz"); println!(elder_futhark); // "ᚹᚨᚷᚨᚷᚨᛋᛏᛁᛉ:ᚨᛚᚢ:ᚹᛁᚻᚷᚢ:ᛋᛁᚲᛁᛃᚨᛉ:ᚨᛁᚦᚨᛚᚨᛏᚨᛉ"

// From Lord's Prayer, in Old Norse. let medievalfuthork = medievalfuthork::letterstorunes("Faðer uor som ast i himlüm, halgað warðe þit nama"); println!(medieval_futhork); // "ᚠᛆᚦᚽᚱ:ᚢᚮᚱ:ᛋᚮᛘ:ᛆᛋᛏ:ᛁ:ᚼᛁᛘᛚᚢᛘ,:ᚼᛆᛚᚵᛆᚦ:ᚠᛆᚱᚦᚽ:ᚦᛁᛏ:ᚿᛆᛘᛆ"

// From 8th century Franks Casket, in late West Saxon. let futhorc = futhorc::letterstorunes("fisc.flodu.ahofonferg | enberig |"); println!(futhorc); // "ᚠᛁᛋᚳ.ᚠᛚᚩᛞᚢ.ᚪᚻᚩᚠᚩᚾᚠᛖᚱᚷ:|:ᛖᚾᛒᛖᚱᛁᚷ:|"

// From Old Norse text in Hög runestone. let staveless = stavelessfuthark::lettersto_runes("kuþniutr þru sun lit rita stin þina ak bru kirþi aftiʀ bruþr sina asbiurn ak at kuþlaf"); println!(futhorc); // ᛍ╮ו⸜ᛁ╮⸍◟:ו◟╮:╵╮⸜:⸌ᛁ⸍:◟ᛁ⸍⸝:╵⸍ᛁ⸜:וᛁ⸜⸝:⸝ᛍ:ˏ◟╮:ᛍᛁ◟וᛁ:⸝ᛙ⸍ᛁʀ:ˏ◟╮ו◟:╵ᛁ⸜⸝:⸝╵ˏᛁ╮◟⸜:⸝ᛍ:⸝⸍:ᛍ╮ו⸌⸝ᛙ

```

Runes to text: ```rust

// All four dialects contain runestoletters function. use riimut::younger_futhark;

let runictext = "ᛅᚢᚴ:ᛏᛅᚾᛁ:ᚴᛅᚱᚦᛁ:ᚴᚱᛁᛋᛏᚾᛅ"; let latintext = youngerfuthark::runestoletters(runictext);

println!(latin_text); // "auk tani karþi kristna"

```

Younger Futhark comes with long branch (Danish) and short twig (Norwegian & Swedish) variants. The default letters_to_runes uses long branch.

```rust use riimut::younger_futhark;

let letters = "aábcdðeéfghiíjklmnoópqrstþuúvwxyýzåäæöøǫþ";

// Comes with named functions per style. let longbranch = youngerfuthark.letterstolongbranchrunes(letters); let shorttwig = youngerfuthark.letterstoshorttwigrunes(letters);

println!(longbranch); // ᛅᛅᛒᛋᛏᚦᛁᛁᚠᚴᚼᛁᛁᛁᚴᛚᛘᚾᚢᚢᛒᚴᚱᛋᛏᚦᚢᚢᚢᚢᛋᚢᚢᛋᚢᛅᛅᚢᚢᚢᚦ println!(shorttwig); // ᛆᛆᛒᛌᛐᚦᛁᛁᚠᚴᚽᛁᛁᛁᚴᛚᛘᚿᚢᚢᛒᚴᚱᛌᛐᚦᚢᚢᚢᚢᛌᚢᚢᛌᚢᛆᛆᚢᚢᚢᚦ

What's in the name?

"Riimut" is the Finnish word for "runes". Most rune related cratenames were already taken, so just added some Finnish flavor to it.
