LaTeXML::Token(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation LaTeXML::Token(3pm)
NAME
"LaTeXML::Token" - representation of a token, and "LaTeXML::Tokens", representing lists of tokens.
DESCRIPTION
This module defines Tokens ("LaTeXML::Token", "LaTeXML::Tokens") that get created during tokenization and expansion.
A "LaTeXML::Token" represents a TeX token which is a pair of a character or string and a category code. A "LaTeXML::Tokens" is a list of
tokens (and also implements the API of a LaTeXML::Mouth so that tokens can be read from a list).
Common methods
The following methods apply to all objects.
"@tokens = $object->unlist;"
Return a list of the tokens making up this $object.
"$string = $object->toString;"
Return a string representing $object.
Token methods
The following methods are specific to "LaTeXML::Token".
"$string = $token->getCSName;"
Return the string or character part of the $token; for the special category codes, returns the standard string (eg.
"T_BEGIN-"getCSName> returns "{").
"$string = $token->getString;"
Return the string or character part of the $token.
"$code = $token->getCharcode;"
Return the character code of the character part of the $token, or 256 if it is a control sequence.
"$code = $token->getCatcode;"
Return the catcode of the $token.
Tokens methods
The following methods are specific to "LaTeXML::Tokens".
"$tokenscopy = $tokens->clone;"
Return a shallow copy of the $tokens. This is useful before reading from a "LaTeXML::Tokens".
"$token = $tokens->readToken;"
Returns (and remove) the next token from $tokens. This is part of the public API of LaTeXML::Mouth so that a "LaTeXML::Tokens" can
serve as a LaTeXML::Mouth.
