as_latex: Convert objects to LaTeX

In jrnold/textools: Functions for working with LaTeX

Description

This is the preferred method to convert objects to a latex object. It is a generic function, so it can be defined for different classes. The default is to convert an object to a character vector and use escape_latex to escape special LaTeX symbols.

Usage

as_latex(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
as_latex(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'latex'
as_latex(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'NULL'
as_latex(x, ...)

Arguments

x	The object to convert
...	Other arguments used by methods

Value

An object of class "tex".

Methods (by class)

• default: This converts a character vector to a LaTeX object. Unlike LaTeX, it can, and by default, escapes special LaTeX characters.

• latex: Return x, so as to not valid LaTeX text.

• NULL: This returns ""
