LaTeXML::Core::Mouth(3p)

NAME
"LaTeXML::Core::Mouth" - tokenize the input.

DESCRIPTION
A "LaTeXML::Core::Mouth" (and subclasses) is responsible for tokenizing, ie. converting plain text and strings into LaTeXML::Core::Tokens according to the current category codes (catcodes) stored in the "LaTeXML::Core::State".

It extends LaTeXML::Common::Object.

  Creating Mouths

"$mouth = LaTeXML::Core::Mouth->create($source, %options);"
    Creates a new Mouth of the appropriate class for reading from $source.

"$mouth = LaTeXML::Core::Mouth->new($string, %options);"
    Creates a new Mouth reading from $string.

  Methods

"$token = $mouth->readToken;"
    Returns the next LaTeXML::Core::Token from the source.

"$boole = $mouth->hasMoreInput;"
    Returns whether there is more data to read.

"$string = $mouth->getLocator;"
    Return a description of current position in the source, for reporting errors.

"$tokens = $mouth->readTokens($until);"
    Reads tokens until one matches $until (comparing the character, but not catcode). This is useful for the "\verb" command.

"$lines = $mouth->readRawLine;"
    Reads a raw (untokenized) line from $mouth, or undef if none is found.
