6 "LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals" - Key-Value Pairs in LaTeXML
7
9 Provides a parser and representation of keyval pairs
10 "LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals" represents parameters handled by LaTeX's
11 keyval package. It extends LaTeXML::Common::Object.
12 Accessors
14 "GetKeyVal($arg,$key)"
15 Access the value associated with a given key. This is useful
16 within constructors to access the value associated with $key in the
17 argument $arg. Example usage in a copnstructor:
18 <foo attrib='&GetKeyVal(#1,'key')'>
20 "GetKeyVals($arg)"
22 Access the entire hash. Can be used in a constructor like: Can use
23 in constructor: <foo %&GetKeyVals(#1)/>
24 Constructors
26 "<LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals-"new(prefix, keysets, options)); >>
27 Creates a new KeyVals object with the given parameters. All
28 arguments are optional and the simples way of calling this method
29 is "my $keyvals = LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals->new()".
30 prefix is the given prefix all key-value pairs operate in and
32 defaults to 'KV'. If given, prefix should be a string.
33 keysets should be a list of keysets to find keys inside of. If
35 given, it should either be reference to a list of strings or a
36 comma-seperated string. This argument defaults to '_anonymous_'.
37 Furthermore, the KeyVals constructor accepts a variety of options
39 that can be used to customize its behaviour. These are setAll,
40 setInternals, skip, skipMissing, hookMissing, open, close, punct
41 and assign.
42 setAll is a flag that, if set, ensures that keys will be set in all
44 existing keysets, instad of only in the first one.
45 setInternals is a flag that, if set, ensures that certain 'xkeyval'
47 package internals are set during key digestion.
48 skip should be a list of keys to be skipped when digesting the keys
50 of this object.
51 skipMissing allows one way of handling keys during key digestion
53 that have not been explictilty declared using "DefKey" or related
54 functionality. If set to "undef" or 0, an error is thrown upon
55 trying to set such a key, if set to 1 they are ignored.
56 Alternatively, this can be set to a key macro which is then
57 extended to contain a comman-separated list of the undefined keys.
58 hookMissing allows to call a specific macro if a single key is
60 unknown during key digestion.
61 The options open, close, punct and assign optionally contain the
63 tokens used for the respective meanings.
64 KeyVals Accessors (intended for internal usage)
66 "my $prefix = $keyvals->getPrefix()"
67 Returns the Prefix property.
68 "my @keysets = $keyvals->getKeySets()"
70 Returns the KeySets property.
71 "my $setall = $keyvals->getSetAll()"
73 Returns the SetAll property.
74 "my $setinternals = $keyvals->getSetInternals()"
76 Returns the SetInternals property.
77 "my @skip = $keyvals->getSkip()"
79 Returns the Skip property.
80 "my $skipmissing = $keyvals->getSkipMissing()"
82 Returns the SkipMissing property.
83 "my $hookmissing = $keyvals->getHookMissing()"
85 Returns the HookMissing property.
86 "my @tuples = $keyvals->getTuples()"
88 Returns the Tuples property representing
89 "$keyvals->setTuples(@tuples)"
91 Sets the tuples which should be a list of five-tuples (array
92 references) representing the key-value pairs this KeyVals object is
93 seeded with. See the getTuples function on details of the structure
94 of this list. rebuild is called automatically to populate the
95 other caches. Typically, the tuples is set by readFrom.
96 "my @cachedpairs = $keyvals->getCachedPairs()"
98 Returns the CachedPairs property.
99 "my %cachedhash = $keyvals->getCachedHash()"
101 Returns the CachedHash property.
102 Resolution to KeySets
104 "my @keysets = $keyvals->resolveKeyValFor($key)"
105 Finds all KeyVal objects that should be used for interacting with
106 the given key. May return "undef" if no matching keysets are found.
107 Use the parameters
108 keysets, setAll and skipMissing to customize the exact behaviour
109 of this function.
110 "my $canResolveKeyVal = $keyvals->canResolveKeyValFor($key)"
112 Checks if this KeyVals object can resolve a KeyVal for key. Ignores
113 setAll and skipMissing parameters.
114 "my $keyval = $keyvals->getPrimaryKeyValOf($key, @keysets)"
116 Gets a single KeyVal parameter to be used for interacting a a
117 single key, given that it resolves to keysets. Always returns a
118 single KeyVal object, even if no keysets are found.
119 Changing contained values
121 "$keyvals->addValue($key, $value, $useDefault, $noRebuild)"
122 Adds the given value for key at the end of the given list of values
123 and rebuilds all internal caches. If the useDefault flag is set,
124 the specific value is ignored, and the default is set instead.
125 If this function is called multiple times the noRebuild option
127 should be given to prevent constant rebuilding and the rebuild
128 function should be called manually called.
129 "$keyvals->setValue($key, $value, $useDefault)"
131 Sets the value of key to value, optionally using the default if
132 useDefault is set. Note that if value is a reference to an array,
133 the key is inserted multiple times. If value is "undef", the values
134 is deleted.
135 "$keyvals->rebuild($skip)"
137 Rebuilds the internal caches of key-value mapping and list of pairs
138 from from main list of tuples. If skip is given, all values for the
139 given key are omitted, and the given key is deleted.
140 Parsing values from a gullet
142 "$keyvals->readFrom($gullet, $until, %options)"
143 Reads a set of KeyVals from gullet, up until the until token, and
144 updates the state of this KeyVals object accordingly.
145 Furthermore, this methods supports several options.
147 When the silenceMissing option is set, missing keys will be
149 completely ignored when reading keys, that is they do not get
150 recorded into the KeyVals object and no warnings or errors will be
151 thrown.
152 "$keyvals->readKeyWordFrom($gullet, $until)"
154 Reads a single keyword from gullet. Intended for internal use only.
155 KeyVals Accessors
157 "my $value = $keyvals->getValue($key);"
158 Return a value associated with $key.
159 "@values = $keyvals->getValues($key);"
161 Return the list of all values associated with $key.
162 "%keyvals = $keyvals->getKeyVals;"
164 Return the hash reference containing the keys and values bound in
165 the $keyval. Each value in the hash may be a single value or a
166 list if the key is repeated.
167 "@keyvals = $keyvals->getPairs;"
169 Return the alternating keys and values bound in the $keyval. Note
170 that this may contain multiple entries for a given key, if they
171 were repeated.
172 "%hash = $keyvals->getHash;"
174 Return the hash reference containing the keys and values bound in
175 the $keyval. Note that will only contain the last value for a
176 given key, if they were repeated.
177 "$haskey = $keyvals->hasKey($key);"
179 Checks if the KeyVals object contains a value for $key.
180 Value Related Reversion
182 "$expansion = $keyvals->setKeysExpansion;"
183 Expand this KeyVals into a set of tokens for digesting keys.
184 "$keyvals = $keyvals->beDigested($stomach);"
186 Return a new "LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals" object with both keys and
187 values digested.
188 "$reversion = $keyvals->revert();"
190 Revert this object into a set of tokens representing the original
191 sequence of Tokens that was used to be read it from the gullet.
192 "$str = $keyvals->toString();"
194 Turns this object into a key=value comma seperated string.
