💖 LATEX-ENCODE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the latex-encode page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (it's a 1p page, iykyk). sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

latex-encode — LaTeX-encode data. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🌸 USAGE 🌸

latex-encode [options] <utf8-file >latex-file

so you pipe your utf8 file in, and the LaTeX comes out the other side. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -packages|-p — plot twist! instead of spitting out the LaTeX-encoded version of your input, latex-encode gives you a list of the LaTeX packages you'd need to typeset the encoded version of the input. one package per line. very "here's your shopping list" of it 💅
  • -help|? — outputs a help string. when in doubt, ask for help, no shame 🥰
  • -man — displays the man page for latex-encode. the page you are literally reading right now. inception moment 🌀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does this thing actually do? this script converts utf-8 characters in its input into their LaTeX encodings, using the LaTeX::Encode module. main character energy, fr fr ✨

unless you passed the -packages option — in that case it skips the whole converting thing and instead outputs a list of the LaTeX packages that are required to typeset the encoded version of the input. it's giving "I don't do the homework, I just tell you which textbooks you need" 😭

💜 DIAGNOSTICS 💜

nothing listed here in the original. empty section, but we still showed up for it 🫶

💜 EXIT STATUS 💜

also empty. the void said nothing. respect the void 🕳️✨

💜 CONFIGURATION 💜

nothing here either. zero config, zero stress, arguably a lifestyle 💅

💜 DEPENDENCIES 💜

the original doesn't list any. mysterious. we love a little mystery 🙈

💜 INCOMPATIBILITIES 💜

nope, nothing listed. it plays nice as far as this page is concerned 🌸

💜 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS 💜

the original page lists none here. if you find some, that's a you-and-the-source situation, bestie 😭

ngl, sections like DIAGNOSTICS, EXIT STATUS, CONFIGURATION, DEPENDENCIES, INCOMPATIBILITIES and BUGS AND LIMITATIONS are just headings with nothing underneath in the source page — so no cap, there's genuinely nothing to report there. we don't invent facts in this house 🏠✨

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one's from perl v5.34.0, dated 2022-06-15 — so when you cite it, cite it cute 🎀 thanks for reading, mwah, go encode something slay 💅💖
