parseTex: parseTex

In tmcd82070/tex2rmd: Latex to Rmd Conversion

Description

Parse a Tex command and return a specified argument.

Usage

parseTex(x, argNum, delims = "{}", warn = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A latex command, like "\bibcitetexttext"
argNum	The number of the argument desired.
delims	The delimiters to use. This must be a single string, and only the first two characters are used. First character is the opening delimiter, second character is closing delimiter.
warn	Logical scaler. If TRUE, issue a warning if the requested argument is not found. Careful here: if warn is FALSE, the calling procedure will not be able to distinguish between an argument not found and the empty argument (i.e., "").

Value

A string, the desired argument. If the argument is not found, the empty string is returned and a warning is fired if warn==TRUE.
