6 "LaTeXML::Core::KeyVal" - Key-Value Defintions in LaTeXML
7
9 Provides an interface to define and access KeyVal definition. Used in
10 conjunction with "LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals" to fully implement KeyVal
11 pairs. It extends LaTeXML::Common::Object.
12 Exposed Methods
14 "DefKeyVal(keyset, key, type, default, %options); "
15 Defines a new KeyVal Parameter in the given keyset, key and with
16 optional prefix option{prefix}. For descriptions of further
17 parameters, see LaTeXML::Core::KeyVal::define.
18 "HasKeyVal(prefix, keyset, key); "
20 Checks if the given KeyVal pair exists.
21 "DisableKeyVal(prefix, keyset, key); "
23 Disables the given KeyVal so that it can not be used.
24 Constructors
26 "<LaTeXML::Core::KeyVal-"new(preset, keyset, key); >>
27 Creates a new KeyVal object. This serves as a simple reference to
28 the given KeyVal object, regardless of its existence or not.
29 KeyVal Accessors
31 "$prefix = $keyval->getPrefix;"
32 Gets the prefix of this KeyVal object.
33 "$keyset = $keyval->getKeySet;"
35 Gets the keyset of this KeyVal object.
36 "$key = $keyval->getKey;"
38 Gets the key of this KeyVal object.
39 "$prefix = $keyval->getFullPrefix;"
41 Gets the full prefix of this keyval object, to be used when
42 composing macros.
43 "$prefix = $keyval->getHeader;"
45 Gets the header of this keyval object, to be used when composing
46 macros.
47 Keyval Property Getters
49 "$value = $keyval->getProp($prop);"
50 Gets the value of a given property of this KeyVal. Intended for
51 internal use only.
52 "$value = $keyval->setProp($prop, $value, $scope);"
54 Sets the value of the given property with the given value and
55 scope. Intended for internal use only.
56 "$type = $keyval->getType();"
58 Gets the type of this KeyVal object, as found in $STATE.
59 "$keyval->setType($type);"
61 Sets the type of this KeyVal object, as found in $STATE.
62 "$default = $keyval->getDefault();"
64 Gets the default of this KeyVal object, as found in $STATE.
65 "$keyval->setDefault($default, $setMacros);"
67 Sets the default of this KeyVal object, and optionally sets the
68 macros as well.
69 KeyVal Key Definition
71 "$defined = $keyval->isDefined($checkMacros);"
72 Checks if this KeyVal item is actually defined. If checkMacros is
73 set to true, also check if macros are defined.
74 "$keyval->define($type, $default, %options);"
76 (Re-)defines this Key of kind 'kind'. Defines a keyword key used
77 in keyval arguments for the set keyset and, and if the option code
78 is given, defines appropriate macros when used with the keyval
79 package (or extensions thereof).
80 If type is given, it defines the type of value that must be
82 supplied, such as 'Dimension'. If default is given, that value
83 will be used when key is used without an equals and explicit value
84 in a keyvals argument.
85 A scope option can be given, which can be used to defined the key-
87 value pair globally instead of in the current scope.
88 Several more options can be given. These implement the behaviour of
90 the xkeyval package.
91 The prefix parameter can be used to configure a custom prefix for
93 the macros to be defined. The kind parameter can be used to
94 configure special types of xkeyval pairs.
95 The 'ordinary' kind behaves like a normal keyval parameter.
97 The 'command' kind defines a command key, that when run stores the
99 value of the key in a special macro, which can be further specefied
100 by the macroprefix option.
101 The 'choice' kind defines a choice key, which takes additional
103 options choices (to specify which choices are valid values),
104 mismatch (to be run if an invalid choice is made) and bin (see
105 xkeyval documentation for details).
106 The 'boolean' kind defines a special choice key that takes possible
108 values true and false, and defines a new Conditional according to
109 the assumed value. The name of this conditional can be specified
110 with the macroprefix option.
111 The kind parameter only takes effect when code is given, otherwise
113 only meta-data is stored.
114 "$keyval->defineOrdinary($code);"
116 Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for an ordinary key.
117 "$keyval->defineCommand($code, $macroprefix);"
119 Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for a command key.
120 "$keyval->defineChoice($code, $mismatch, $choices, $normalize, $bin);"
122 Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for an choice key.
123 "$keyval->defineBoolean($code, $mismatch, $macroprefix);"
125 Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for a boolean key.
126 "disabled = $keyval->isDisabled();"
128 Checks if this keyval property is disabled.
129 "$keyval->disable();"
131 Disables this KeyVal object in $STATE.
132 Value Related
134 "$expansion = $keyval->setKeys($value, $useDefault, $checkExistence,
135 $checkDisabled, $setInternals);"
136 Expands this KeyVal into a Tokens() to be used with \setkeys.
137 value contains the value to be used in the expansion, useDefault
138 indicates if the value argument should be ignored and the default
139 should be used instead. If checkExistence is set to 1 and the
140 macro does not exist, undef is returned. If checkDisabled is set
141 to 1 and the macro is disabled, an empty Tokens() is returns. If
142 $setInternals is set, sets XKeyVal internal macros.
143 "$reversion = $keyval->digest($stomach, $value);"
145 Digests this KeyVal with the given stomach and value.
146 "$reversion = $keyval->revert($value, $useDefault, $compact, $isFirst,
148 $punct, $assign);"
149 Reverts this KeyVal with a given value (or the default if IsDefault
150 is set) and punctuation and assignment tokens. If compact is
151 given, spaces will be omitted when possible. The isDefault
152 parameter indicates if appropriate seperation tokens should be
153 inserted.
154 "$str = $keyval->toString();"
156 Turns this KeyVal object into a string.
