NAME

LaTeXML::Core::Box - Representations of digested objects; extends LaTeXML::Common::Object.

Exported Functions

$box = Box($string,$font,$locator,$tokens);

Creates a Box representing the $string in the given $font. The $locator records the document source position. The $tokens is a Tokens list containing the TeX that created (or could have) the Box. If $font or $locator are undef, they are obtained from the currently active LaTeXML::Core::State. Note that $string can be undef which contributes nothing to the generated document, but does record the TeX code (in $tokens).

METHODS

$font = $digested->getFont;

Returns the font used by $digested.

$boole = $digested->isMath;

Returns whether $digested was created in math mode.

@boxes = $digested->unlist;

Returns a list of the boxes contained in $digested. It is also defined for the Boxes and Whatsit (which just return themselves) so they can stand-in for a List.

$string = $digested->toString;

Returns a string representing this $digested.

$string = $digested->revert;

Reverts the box to the list of Tokens that created (or could have created) it.

$string = $digested->getLocator;

Get an object describing the location in the original source that gave rise to $digested.

$digested->beAbsorbed($document);

$digested should get itself absorbed into the $document in whatever way is apppropriate.

$string = $box->getString;
