LaTeX::Decode (3pm)

Version 0.03

    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 1) 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'.

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 \s-1IPA\s0, Latin Extended Additional, etc.)

full => Also converts symbols, Greek letters, dingbats, negated symbols, and

         superscript characters and symbols ...
