@unified-latex/unified-latex-util-pegjs v1.7.1

unified-latex-util-pegjs

What is this?

Pegjs grammars to help parse strings into a unified-latex Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Note, because of the dynamic nature of LaTeX, to get a full AST with arguments attached to macros, etc., the tree is parsed multiple times.

Also included are functions to decorate a Ast.Node[] array so that Pegjs can process it as if it were a string. This allows for complex second-pass parsing.

When should I use this?

If you are building libraries to parse specific LaTeX syntax (e.g., to parse tabular environments or systeme environments, etc.).

Install

npm install @unified-latex/unified-latex-util-pegjs

This package contains both esm and commonjs exports. To explicitly access the esm export, import the .js file. To explicitly access the commonjs export, import the .cjs file.

Functions

decorateArrayForPegjs(array)

Pegjs operates on strings. However, strings and arrays are very similar! This function adds charAt, charCodeAt, and substring methods to array so that array can then be fed to a Pegjs generated parser.

function decorateArrayForPegjs(array: any[]): StringlikeArray;

Parameters

splitStringsIntoSingleChars(nodes)

Splits all multi-character strings into strings that are all single characters.

function splitStringsIntoSingleChars(nodes: Ast.Node[]): Ast.Node[];

Parameters
