NAME

6       "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Constructor"  - Control sequence
7       definitions.
8

DESCRIPTION

10       This class represents control sequences that contribute arbitrary XML
11       fragments to the document tree.  During digestion, a
12       "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Constuctor" records the arguments used in
13       the invocation to produce a LaTeXML::Core::Whatsit.  The resulting
14       LaTeXML::Core::Whatsit (usually) generates an XML document fragment
15       when absorbed by an instance of LaTeXML::Core::Document.  Additionally,
16       a "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Constructor" may have beforeDigest and
17       afterDigest daemons defined which are executed for side effect, or for
18       adding additional boxes to the output.
19
20       It extends LaTeXML::Core::Definition.
21
22       More documentation needed, but see LaTeXML::Package for the main user
23       access to these.

25   More about Constructors
26       A constructor has as it's "replacement" a subroutine or a string
27       pattern representing the XML fragment it should generate.  In the case
28       of a string pattern, the pattern is compiled into a subroutine on first
29       usage by the internal class
30       "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::ConstructorCompiler".  Like primitives,
31       constructors may have "beforeDigest" and "afterDigest".
