Miscellaneous low-level finders
Usage
find_whitespace(items, ...)
find_env(items, envtypes = NULL, ...)
find_macro(items, macros = NULL, ...)
find_catcode(items, codes, ...)
find_tags(items, tags, ...)
find_char(items, char, ...)
find_block(items, ...)
find_general(items, test, ..., all = TRUE, path = FALSE)Arguments
- items
- A list of latex items. 
- ...
- For - find_general, additional arguments to pass to- test. For the other- find_*functions, additional arguments to pass to- find_general.
- envtypes
- Which types of environment to look for. 
- macros
- Which types of macros to look for. 
- codes
- Which codes to look for. 
- Which tags to look for. 
- char
- Which character to look for. 
- test
- Test function for target. 
- all
- If - FALSE, return just the first match
- path
- If - TRUE, return a path rather than an index. See Details below.
Value
find_whitespace() returns the indices of
whitespace in items.
find_env() returns the indices within items
of environments in envtypes.
find_macro() returns the index within items
of instances in macros.
find_catcode() returns the index within items.
of specials matching code.
find_tags() returns the index within items.
of items with tags matching tags.
find_char() returns the index within items
of characters matching char.  Only characters
marked as SPECIAL by the parser will be found.
find_block() returns the index within items
of blocks (i.e. sequences in )
find_general() returns locations of
objects matching the test.
Details
These functions search through items for individual
objects that match a test.  In general they do not
operate recursively, with one exception.  If items
contains ITEMLIST objects, the search will always
recurse into those.
By default the return value is an index or a vector
of indices of the matches.  These are the indices as
they would be if any ITEMLIST objects had been
flattened.
However, if path = TRUE, the path to the
object will be returned.  With all = FALSE, this will
be a numeric vector such that items[[result]] is the
matching item.  With all = TRUE it will be a list of
such vectors.
