This class provides various dictionaries that O3PO_Latex needs to do its job.
$latex_special_chars_dictionary : array
An associative array of regular expressions that match latex code and utf8 representations of the respective symbol they represent
As PHP does not allow the initialization of static variables from static member methods we have to initialize this array to null. You may thus never use this variable directly, instead use the getter method below.
$latex_special_chars_reverse_dictionary :
Associative array of utf8 representations and their respective LaTeX representations.
In some cases we need to generate LaTeX code from utf-8 encoded strings containing special characters. This array helps in doing this.
$utf8_to_ascii_dictionary :
Associative array of utf8 representations and their closest ascii characters.
In some cases we need to generate ascii strings from utf-8 encoded strings containing special characters. This array helps in doing this.
get_latex_special_chars_dictionary()
Get the $latex_special_chars_dictionary.
We are dealing with a lot of LaTeX code in wich special characters are LaTeX encoded. On our website we want to display them in a pretty way. The following is a (more or less complete) mapping of LaTeX encodigs into utf-8 characters whenever such a character is available. This list must only contain latex macros that contain a \ as for preformance reasons replacing is stopped once all \ have been eliminated. Also there is a negative look must be added when using this dictionary to prevent replacements in cases such as \v{a}.
expand_cite_to_html(string $text, string $bbl)
Expand \cite{} commands to html code.
The resulting html code makes every \cite a clickable hyperlink to the correspnding entry in the bibliograhy.
| string | $text | The text in which \cite commands are to be expanded |
| string | $bbl | The bbl code of the bibliography that contains the corresponding bibliography entries. |
normalize_whitespace_and_linebreak_characters(string $text, boolean $single_line = true, boolean $remove_extra_newlines = false)
Normalized white space and line break characters.
| string | $text | LaTeX text to normalize. |
| boolean | $single_line | Whether to output a single-line text. |
| boolean | $remove_extra_newlines | If true, single newlines are replaced by space and any number of more than two successive newlines are replaced by exactly two newlines. |
