In parseLatex: Parse 'LaTeX' Code

parseLatex 0.3.0

• Added stdbool.h to the includes for compatibility with older gcc. (Thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel for the report and PR #2).
• Added a configure script to check for bison (on Unix-alike only).
• Adjacent math environments were treated as a syntax error.
• \let is now handled the same way as \def: the next two tokens are not considered for evaluation.
• Added arguments defcmd and defenv to parseLatex() to allow the user to specify defining macros. These names are also now allowed in the magic comments.
• Spaces between a verb macro and its argument caused the parsing to be incorrect.
• Added argument recover to parseLatex(), to attempt to recover after a parsing error. This may help with diagnosing the error. The error will be wrapped in an ERROR tag which is displayed as >>>text causing error<<<.

parseLatex 0.2.1

• Minor modifications for CRAN submission.

parseLatex 0.2.0

• Added find_sequence(), set_contents().
• Add DEFINITION tag to allow \begin etc. to be temporarily ignored. This allows parseLatex to parse \newenvironment and related macros that create definitions.
• parseLatex() now stops parsing after \end{document} just as LaTeX does. The get_leftovers() function can retrieve the unparsed text.
• Added support for "magic comments". See the vignette for details.
• verb macros now allow embedded braces as long as they are balanced.

parseLatex 0.1.0

• Initial version.
