7       XML/HTML/MathML

SYNOPSIS

10           use LaTeXML;
11           my $converter = LaTeXML->get_converter($config);
12           my $converter = LaTeXML->new($config);
13           $converter->prepare_session($opts);
14           $converter->initialize_session; # SHOULD BE INTERNAL
15           $hashref = $converter->convert($tex);
16           my ($result,$log,$status)
17                = map {$hashref->{$_}} qw(result log status);

DESCRIPTION

20       LaTeXML is a converter that transforms TeX and LaTeX into
21       XML/HTML/MathML and other formats.
22
23       A LaTeXML object represents a converter instance and can convert files
24       on demand, until dismissed.
25
26   METHODS
27       "my $converter = LaTeXML->new($config);"
28           Creates a new converter object for a given LaTeXML::Common::Config
29           object, $config.
30
31       "my $converter = LaTeXML->get_converter($config);"
32           Either creates, or looks up a cached converter for the $config
33           configuration object.
34
35       "$converter->prepare_session($opts);"
36           Top-level preparation routine that prepares both a correct options
37           object
38               and an initialized LaTeXML object,
39               using the "initialize_options" and "initialize_session"
40           routines, when needed.
41
42           Contains optimization checks that skip initializations unless
43           necessary.
44
45           Also adds support for partial option specifications during daemon
46           runtime,
47                falling back on the option defaults given when converter
48           object was created.
49
50       "my ($result,$status,$log) = $converter->convert($tex);"
51           Converts a TeX input string $tex into the LaTeXML::Core::Document
52           object $result.
53
54           Supplies detailed information of the conversion log ($log),
55                    as well as a brief conversion status summary ($status).
56
57   INTERNAL ROUTINES
58       "$converter->initialize_session($opts);"
59           Given an options hash reference $opts, initializes a session by
60           creating a new LaTeXML object
61                 with initialized state and loading a daemonized preamble (if
62           any).
63
64           Sets the "ready" flag to true, making a subsequent "convert" call
65           immediately possible.
66
67       "my $latexml = new_latexml($opts);"
68           Creates a new LaTeXML object and initializes its state.
69
70       "my $postdoc = $converter->convert_post($dom);"
71           Post-processes a LaTeXML::Core::Document object $dom into a final
72           format,
73                          based on the preferences specified in $$self{opts}.
74
75           Typically used only internally by "convert".
76
77       "$converter->bind_log;"
78           Binds STDERR to a "log" field in the $converter object
79
80       "my $log = $converter->flush_log;"
81           Flushes out the accumulated conversion log into $log,
82                    reseting STDERR to its usual stream.
