Create, print and turn to string objects of class latex_symb

Description

The class latex_symb is simply a wrapper for a string with LaTeX code. lsymb creates the wrapper, as.character and print extract the string.

Usage

lsymb(...)
## S3 method for class 'latex_symb'
print(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'latex_symb'
as.character(x, ...)

Arguments

...	Objects that can be passed to as.character.
x	An object of class latex_symb

Value

• lsymb returns an object of class latex_symb. It is an S3 class, whose objects are lists with a single component called repr. repr is the LaTeX code for the object, which is obtained by pasting the character representations of all the arguments.

• print.lsymb passes the repr of its first argument, plus additional arguments, to print. The returned value is whatever print returns.

• as.character.lsymb passes the repr of its first argument, plus additional arguments, to as.character. The returned value is whatever as.character returns.

Examples

al <- lsymb("\\alpha")
print(al)
as.character(al)
