This module provides a function to encode text that is to be formatted with
|
|
LaTeX. It encodes characters that are special to LaTeX or that are
|
|
represented in LaTeX by LaTeX commands.
|
|
|
|
The special characters are: \ (command character), { (open group), }
|
|
(end group), & (table column separator), # (parameter specifier),
|
|
% (comment character), _ (subscript), ^ (superscript),
|
|
~ (non-breakable space), $ (mathematics mode).
|
|
|
|
Note that some of the LaTeX commands for characters are defined in the LaTeX
|
|
textcomp package. If your text includes such characters, you will need to
|
|
include the following lines in the preamble to your LaTeX document.
|
|
|
|
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
|
|
\usepackage{textcomp}
|
|
|
|
The function is useful for encoding data that is interpolated into LaTeX
|
|
document templates, say with Template::Plugin::Latex (shameless plug!).
