LaTeX::Decode - Decode from LaTeX to Unicode
Version 0.05
use LaTeX::Decode;
my $latex_string = 'Mu\\d{h}ammad ibn M\\=us\=a al-Khw\\=arizm\\={\\i}';
my $new_string = latex_decode($latex_string); # => 'MuXammad ibn MXsX al-KhwXrizmX'
Decodes the given text from LaTeX to Unicode.
The function accepts a number of options:
* normalize => $bool (default 0)
whether the output string should be normalized with Unicode::Normalize
* normalization => <normalization form> (default 'NFC')
and if yes, the normalization form to use (see the Unicode::Normalize documentation)
* strip_outer_braces => $bool (default 0)
whether the outer curly braces around letters+combining marks should be
stripped off. By default "fut{\\'e}" becomes fut{e}, to prevent something
like '\\textuppercase{\\'e}' to become '\\textuppercasee'. Setting this option to
TRUE can be useful for instance when converting BibTeX files.
The decoding scheme can be set with
$LaTeX::Decode::DefaultScheme = '<name>';
Possible values are 'base', 'extra' and 'full'; default value is
'extra'.
TODO : explain these scheme!
base => Most common macros and diacritics (sufficient for
Western languages
and common symbols)
extra => Also converts punctuation, larger range of diacritics
and macros (e.g. for IPA, Latin Extended
Additional, etc.)
full => Also converts symbols, Greek letters, dingbats, negated
symbols, and
superscript characters and symbols ...
