All Implemented Interfaces:

public class MathcodePrimitive
extends AbstractAssignment
implements CountConvertible, Theable

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \mathcode.

The Math Primitive \mathcode

The math primitive \mathcode sets a math code for a character. For this purpose it takes a character and a math code as arguments.

The math code is made up of three components: the class, the family, and a character.

TODO missing documentation

If the math code of a character has the special value "8000 then it is treated like an active character. In this case the expansion is initiated.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:

    ⟨mathcode⟩
      → \mathcode ⟨character code⟩ ⟨equals⟩ ⟨math code⟩
        

Examples

    \mathcode`.="41

MathcodePrimitive

public MathcodePrimitive(CodeToken token)

Creates a new object.

Parameters:

token - the initial token for the primitive

Method Detail

assign

public void assign(Flags prefix,
                   Context context,
                   TokenSource source,
                   Typesetter typesetter)
            throws HelpingException,
                   TypesetterException

The method assign is the core of the functionality of execute(). This method is preferable to execute() since the execute() method provided in this class takes care of \afterassignment and \globaldefs as well.

Specified by:

assign in class AbstractAssignment

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix controlling the execution

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter

AbstractAssignment.assign( org.extex.interpreter.Flags, org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

convertCount

public long convertCount(Context context,
                         TokenSource source,
                         Typesetter typesetter)
                  throws HelpingException,
                         TypesetterException

This method converts a register into a count. It might be necessary to read further tokens to determine which value to use. For instance an additional register number might be required. In this case the additional arguments Context and TokenSource can be used.

Specified by:

convertCount in interface CountConvertible

Parameters:

context - the interpreter context

source - the source for new tokens

typesetter - the typesetter to use for conversion

Returns:

the converted value

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter

See Also:

CountConvertible.convertCount( org.extex.interpreter.context.Context, org.extex.interpreter.TokenSource, org.extex.typesetter.Typesetter)

the

public Tokens the(Context context,
                  TokenSource source,
                  Typesetter typesetter)
           throws CatcodeException,
                  HelpingException,
                  TypesetterException

This method is the getter for the description of the primitive.

Specified by:

the in interface Theable

Parameters:

context - the interpreter context

source - the source for further tokens to qualify the request

typesetter - the typesetter to use

Returns:

the description of the primitive as list of Tokens

Throws:

CatcodeException - in case of an error in token creation

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error
