✨ OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS ✨

latexmlfind is literally made for finding objects inside an XML file that LaTeXML generated. it's giving treasure hunt. it's giving "i know what you did last compile". 🔍

• --output=outputfile — tells it where to write the output file!! and lowkey if you don't give it this, the XML just goes straight to stdout by default. no notes. 🎀
• --unknown=symbol — finds equations where the unknown symbol shows up. (the mystery symbol. the unnamed one. the unlabeled icon.)
• --possiblefunction=symbol — finds equations where symbol is possibly being used as a function. maybe function, maybe not, we don't gatekeep the possibilities. 👑
• --label=label — finds objects — sections, equations, whatever, truly anything — that are labeled with the label you gave it.
• --refnum=refnum — finds objects (again: sections, equations, whatever, the whole cast) that have the given reference number.
• --quiet — dials the verbosity DOWN during processing. use it twice and it's pretty silent. 🤫 like actually silent, not fake silent.
• --verbose — dials the verbosity UP during processing. use it twice and it's pretty chatty (yes bestie, she talks a lot 💬). super useful when you need more details because errors are happening. we love an informative queen.
• --VERSION — shows the version number of latexmlfind.. yep, two periods, that's canon, i don't make the rules.
• --help — shows this help message. iconic behaviour honestly. 🌈
