LaTeXM...e::Box(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, this page is LaTeXM...e::Box(3pm), from User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it's giving core-object realness. The module is LaTeXML::Core::Box: representations of digested objects, and it extends LaTeXML::Common::Object. 💖

✨ Exported Functions ✨

• $box = Box($string,$font,$locator,$tokens); — Creates a Box representing the $string in the given $font. The $locator records the document source position. The $tokens is a Tokens list containing the TeX that created (or could have) the Box. If $font or $locator are undef, they are obtained from the currently active LaTeXML::Core::State. Note that $string can be undef, which contributes nothing to the generated document, but does record the TeX code (in $tokens). 🎀

💅 METHODS 💅

• $font = $digested->getFont; — Returns the font used by $digested.
• $boole = $digested->isMath; — Returns whether $digested was created in math mode.
• @boxes = $digested->unlist; — Returns a list of the boxes contained in $digested. It is also defined for the Boxes and Whatsit (which just return themselves) so they can stand-in for a List.
• $string = $digested->toString; — Returns a string representing this $digested.
• $string = $digested->revert; — Reverts the box to the list of Tokens that created (or could have created) it.
• $string = $digested->getLocator; — Get an object describing the location in the original source that gave rise to $digested.
• $digested->beAbsorbed($document); — $digested should get itself absorbed into the $document in whatever way is apppropriate.
• $string = $box->getString; — Returns the string part of the $box.
