🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the LaTeXM...egister(3pm) page 💖. The star of the show is "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Register" — literally the control sequence definitions for Registers. periodt. ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So these register definitions are set up as a specialized primitive with a getter and a setter — one to access values and one to store values in the Stomach. If you want the most convenient means to create them, the page points you to LaTeXML::Package. iykyk 🫶.

It extends LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Primitive — yes, inheritance slay 👑.

Registers generally store some value in the current LaTeXML::Core::State, but they are not required to — no cap, that's just the vibe check. Like TeX's registers, when they are digested, they expect an optional =, and then a value of the appropriate type. Register definitions support these additional methods:

🧚 Methods 🧚

• $value = $register->valueOf(@args); — returns the value associated with the register by invoking its getter function. The additional args are used by some registers to index into a set, such as the index to \count. 💅
• $register->setValue($value,$scope,@args); — assigns a value to the register by invoking its setter function. slay. ✨
