NAME¶
"LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Constructor" - Control sequence
definitions.
DESCRIPTION¶
This class represents control sequences that contribute arbitrary XML fragments
to the document tree. During digestion, a
"LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Constuctor" records the arguments used
in the invokation to produce a LaTeXML::Core::Whatsit. The resulting
LaTeXML::Core::Whatsit (usually) generates an XML document fragment when
absorbed by an instance of LaTeXML::Core::Document. Additionally, a
"LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Constructor" may have beforeDigest and
afterDigest daemons defined which are executed for side effect, or for adding
additional boxes to the output.
It extends LaTeXML::Core::Definition.
More documentation needed, but see LaTeXML::Package for the main user access to
these.
More about Constructors¶
A constructor has as it's "replacement" a subroutine or a string
pattern representing the XML fragment it should generate. In the case of a
string pattern, the pattern is compiled into a subroutine on first usage by
the internal class "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::ConstructorCompiler".
Like primitives, constructors may have "beforeDigest" and
"afterDigest".
