NAME

       TeX::Encode - Encode/decode Perl utf-8 strings into TeX

SYNOPSIS

	 use TeX::Encode;
	 use Encode;

	 $tex = encode('latex', "This will encode an e-acute (".chr(0xe9).") as 'e");
	 $str = decode('latex', $tex); # Will decode the 'e too!

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides encoding to LaTeX escapes from utf8 using mapping tables in Pod::LaTeX and HTML::Entities. This covers only a subset
       of the Unicode character table (undef warnings will occur for non-mapped chars). This module is intentionally vague about what it will
       handle, see Caveats below.

       Mileage will vary when decoding (converting TeX to utf8), as TeX is in essence a programming language, and this module does not implement
       TeX.

       I use this module to encode author names in BibTeX and to do a rough job at presenting LaTeX abstracts in HTML. Using decode rather than
       seeing $sqrt{Omega^2zeta_n}$ you get something that looks like the formula.

       The next logical step for this module is to integrate some level of TeX grammar to improve the decoding, in particular to handle fractions
       and font changes (which should probably be dropped).

METHODS

       TeX::Encode::encode STRING [, CHECK]
	   Encodes a utf8 string into TeX. CHECK isn't implemented.

       TeX::Encode::decode STRING [, CHECK]
	   Decodes a TeX string into utf8. CHECK isn't implemented.

       TeX::Encode::perlio_ok
	   Returns 0. PerlIO isn't implemented.

CAVEATS

       Proper Encode checking is not implemented.

       LaTeX comments (% ...) are ignored because chopping a lot of text may not be what you actually want.

   encode()
       Converts non-ASCII Unicode characters to their equivalent TeX symbols (unTeXable characters will result in undef warnings).

   decode()
       Attempts to convert TeX symbols (e.g. ae) to Unicode characters. As an experimental feature this also handles Math-mode TeX by inserting
       HTML into the resulting string (so you end up with an HTML approximation of the maths - NOT MathML).

NAME

       Encode::CN - China-based Chinese Encodings

SYNOPSIS

	   use Encode qw/encode decode/;
	   $euc_cn = encode("euc-cn", $utf8);	# loads Encode::CN implicitly
	   $utf8   = decode("euc-cn", $euc_cn); # ditto

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements China-based Chinese charset encodings.  Encodings supported are as follows.

	 Canonical   Alias	       Description
	 --------------------------------------------------------------------
	 euc-cn      /euc.*cn$/i     EUC (Extended Unix Character)
		     /cn.*euc$/i
		     /GB[-_ ]?2312(?:D.*$|$)/i (see below)
	 gb2312-raw		       The raw (low-bit) GB2312 character map
	 gb12345-raw		       Traditional chinese counterpart to
				       GB2312 (raw)
	 iso-ir-165		       GB2312 + GB6345 + GB8565 + additions
	 MacChineseSimp 	       GB2312 + Apple Additions
	 cp936			       Code Page 936, also known as GBK
				       (Extended GuoBiao)
	 hz			       7-bit escaped GB2312 encoding
	 --------------------------------------------------------------------

       To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

NOTES

       Due to size concerns, "GB 18030" (an extension to "GBK") is distributed separately on CPAN, under the name Encode::HanExtra. That module
       also contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.

BUGS

       When you see "charset=gb2312" on mails and web pages, they really mean "euc-cn" encodings.  To fix that, "gb2312" is aliased to "euc-cn".
       Use "gb2312-raw" when you really mean it.

       The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.  See

       <http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>

       to find out why it is implemented that way.
