unified-latex-util-arguments

What is this?

Functions to help modify and attach arguments to macros in a unified-latex Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).

By default, TeX doesn't actually have a concept of macro "arguments". Instead, TeX searches the tokens after a macro and processes them according to the macro's rules. However, LaTeX attempts to make macros look like functions that accept arguments. To attach the "arguments" to a macro node, the unified-latex AST needs to be reparsed and manipulated.

When should I use this?

If you have custom macros that you want arguments attached to.

If you know ahead of time which macros need arguments attached to them, use unified-latex-util-parse and pass in the appropriate macro info instead.

Install

npm install @unified-latex/unified-latex-util-arguments

This package contains both esm and commonjs exports. To explicitly access the esm export, import the .js file. To explicitly access the commonjs export, import the .cjs file.

Plugins

unifiedLatexAttachMacroArguments

Unified plugin to attach macro arguments to the macros specified via the macros option.

Usage

unified().use(unifiedLatexAttachMacroArguments[, options])

options

{ macros: MacroInfoRecord; }

Type

Plugin<{ macros: MacroInfoRecord; }[], Ast.Root, Ast.Root>

function unifiedLatexAttachMacroArguments(options: {
  macros: MacroInfoRecord;
}): (tree: Ast.Root) => void;

Functions

getArgsContent(node)

Returns the content of args for a macro or environment as an array. If an argument was omitted (e.g., because it was an optional arg that wasn't included), then null is returned.

function getArgsContent(node: Ast.Macro | Ast.Environment): Ast.Node[][];

Parameters

Param Type
node Ast.Macro | Ast.Environment

getNamedArgsContent(node, namedArgumentsFallback)

Returns the content of args for a macro or environment as an object whose keys are the "names" of each argument. These names of the arguments must be specified in the _renderInfo prop. If _renderInfo does not contain a namedArguments array, then an empty object will be returned.

function getNamedArgsContent(
  node: Ast.Macro | Ast.Environment,
  namedArgumentsFallback: readonly string[]
): Record<string, Ast.Node[]>;

Parameters

Param Type
node Ast.Macro | Ast.Environment
namedArgumentsFallback readonly string[]

gobbleSingleArgument(nodes, argSpec, startPos)

Gobbles an argument of whose type is specified by argSpec starting at the position startPos. If an argument couldn't be found, argument will be null.

function gobbleSingleArgument(
  nodes: Ast.Node[],
  argSpec: ArgSpec.Node,
  startPos: Number
): { argument: Ast.Argument | null; nodesRemoved: number };

Parameters

Param Type
nodes Ast.Node[]
argSpec ArgSpec.Node
startPos Number
