Texinfo::Parser - Parse Texinfo code into a Perl tree

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Texinfo::Parser;
  my $parser = Texinfo::Parser::parser();
  my $tree = $parser->parse_texi_file("somefile.texi");
  my ($errors, $errors_count) = $parser->errors();
  foreach my $error_message (@$errors) {
    warn $error_message->{'error_line'};
  }

  my $index_names = $parser->indices_information();
  my $float_types_arrays = $parser->floats_information();
  my $internal_references_array
    = $parser->internal_references_information();
  # An hash reference on normalized node/float/anchor names
  my $labels_information = $parser->labels_information();
  # A hash reference, keys are @-command names, value is an 
  # array reference holding all the corresponding @-commands.
  my $global_commands_information = $parser->global_commands_information();
  # a hash reference on some document informations (encodings, 
  # input file name, dircategory and direntry list, for exampel).
  my $global_informations = $parser->global_informations();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Texinfo::Parser will parse Texinfo text into a perl tree.  In one pass
it expands user-defined @-commands, conditionals (@ifset, @ifinfo...)
and @value and constructs the tree.  Some extra information is gathered
while doing the tree: for example, the block command associated with @end,
the number of rows in a multitable, or the node associated with a section.



=head1 METHODS

No method is exported in the default case.  The module allows both
an object-oriented syntax, or traditional function, with the parser
as an opaque data structure given as an argument to every function.

=head2 Initialization

The following method is used to construct a new C<Texinfo::Parser> object:

=over

=item $parser = Texinfo::Parser::parser($options);

This method creates a new parser.  The options may be provided as a hash
reference.  There are two types of option.  The first type of option
change the way the parser behaves; they are described right here.  The 
other type of option allows giving the parser some information as if 
it came from texinfo code; for example, allow setting aliases (as with 
C<@alias>), values (as with C<@set>), or merged indices (as with 
C<@synindex>).  These options are described below in L</Texinfo Parser options>.

=over

=item expanded_formats

An array reference of the output formats for which C<@ifI<FORMAT>> 
conditional blocks should be expanded.  Default is empty.

=item gettext

If set, the function reference is used to translate error and warning
messages.  It takes a string as argument and returns a string.  The default 
function returns the error message as-is.

=item GLOBAL_COMMANDS

The associated value is a reference on an array.  All the commands in the
array are collected during parsing.  They are afterwards available 
through L<global_informations|/$info = global_informations($parser)>.

=item include_directories

An array reference of directories in which C<@include> files should be 
searched for.  Default contains the working directory, F<.>.

=item IGNORE_BEFORE_SETFILENAME

If set, and C<@setfilename> exists, everything before C<@setfilename>
is put in a special container type, @C<preamble_before_setfilename>.
This option is set in the default case.

=item IGNORE_SPACE_AFTER_BRACED_COMMAND_NAME

If set, spaces after an @-command name that take braces are ignored.
Default on.

=item MAX_MACRO_CALL_NESTING

Maximal number of nested user-defined macro calls.  Default is 100000.

=item SHOW_MENU

If false, no menu-related errors are reported.  Default is true.

=begin :comment

Used by Sectioning only
=item TOP_NODE_UP

Text for the up node of the Top node.  The default is C<(dir)>.  The
string may contain @-commands.

=end :comment

=back

=back

=head2 Parsing Texinfo text

There are three methods that may be called to parse some Texinfo code:
C<parse_texi_line> for a line, C<parse_texi_text> for a text fragment, 
and C<parse_texi_file> for a file.

For all those functions, if the I<$parser> argument is undef, a new 
parser object is generated to parse the line.  Otherwise the parser given 
as an argument is used to parse into a tree.

When C<parse_texi_text> is used, the resulting tree is rooted at 
a C<root_line> type container.  Otherwise, the resulting tree should be 
rooted at a C<text_root> type container if it does not contain nodes or 
sections, at a C<document_root> type container otherwise.

=over

=item $tree = parse_texi_line($parser, $text, $first_line_number, $file_name, $macro_name, $fixed_line_number)

This function is used to parse a short fragment of Texinfo code.

I<$text> may be either an array reference of lines, or a text.

The other arguments are optional and allow specifying the position
information of the Texinfo code.  I<$first_line_number> is the line number
of the first text line.  I<$file_name> is the name of the file the
text comes from.  I<$macro> is for the user-defined macro name the text
is expanded from.  If I<$fixed_line_number> is set, the line number is
not increased for the different lines, as if the text was the expansion
of a macro.

=item $tree = parse_texi_text ($parser, $text, $line_numbers_specification, $file_name, $macro_name, $fixed_line_number)

This function is used to parse some Texinfo text.

I<$text> may be either an array reference of lines, or a text.

The other arguments are optional and allow specifying the position
information of the Texinfo code.  There are two distinct cases for 
I<$line_numbers_specification>.  

=over

=item 1.

If it is an array reference, it is considered to hold objects describing 
the position information of each text line.

=item 2.

If I<$line_numbers_specification> is a scalar, it is the line number of 
the first text line.  In that case (like for C<parse_texi_text>), 
I<$file_name> is the name of the file the text comes from.  
and I<$macro> is for the user-defined macro name the text
is expanded from.  If I<$fixed_line_number> is set, the line number is
not increased for the different lines, as if the text was the expansion
of a macro.

=back

=item $tree = parse_texi_file($parser, $file_name)

The file with name I<$file_name> is considered to be a Texinfo file and
is parsed into a tree.

undef is returned if the file couldn't be read.

=back

The errors collected during the tree parsing are available through the
C<errors> method.  This method comes from C<Texinfo::Report>, and is 
described in L<errors|Texinfo::Report/($error_warnings_list, $error_count) = errors ($converter)>.

=head2 Getting information on the document

After parsing some information about the Texinfo code that was processed
is available from the parser.

Some global information is available through C<global_informations>

=over

=item $info = global_informations($parser)

The I<$info> returned is a hash reference.  The possible keys are

=over

=item input_file_name

The name of the main Texinfo input file.

=item input_encoding_name

in the document.

=item novalidate

If set, it is as if C<@novalidate> was set in the document.


=back

=back

Some command lists are available, such that it is possible to go through
the corresponding tree elements without walking the tree.  They are
available through C<global_commands_information>

=over

=item $commands = global_commands_information($parser)

I<$commands> is an hash reference.  The keys are @-command names.  The 
associated values are array references containing all the corresponding
tree elements.

=back

All the @-commands that have an associated label (so can be the
target of cross references) - C<@node>, C<@anchor> and C<@float> with
label - have a normalized name associated, constructed as described in the
B<HTML Xref> node in the Texinfo manual.  Those normalized labels and
the association with @-commands is available through C<labels_information>:

=over

=item $labels_information = labels_information($parser)

I<$labels_information> is a hash reference whose keys are normalized
labels, and the associated value is the corresponding @-command.

=back

Information on C<@float> is also available, grouped by type of 
floats, each type correponding to potential C<@listoffloats>.
This information is available through the method C<floats_information>.

=over

=item $float_types = floats_information($parser)

I<$float_types> is a hash reference whose keys are normalized float
types (the first float argument, or the C<@listoffloats> argument).
The normalization is the same than for node names. The value is the list
of float tree elements appearing in the texinfo document.

=back

Internal references, that is, @-commands that refer to node, anchors
or floats within the document are also available:

=over

=item $internal_references_array = internal_references_information($parser);

The function returns a list of cross-reference commands referring to
the same document.

=back

Information about defined indices, merged indices and index entries is
also available through the C<indices_information> method.

including itself.  It also contains indirectly merged indices.  This key 
is removed if the index is itself later merged to another index.

=item index_entries

if it is in such an environement.

=back

=back

The following shows the references corresponding to the default indexes
I<cp> and I<fn>, the I<fn> index having its entries formatted as code and 
the indices corresponding to the following texinfo

  @defindex some
  @defcodeindex code

  $index_names = {'cp' => {'name' => 'cp', 'in_code' => 0, },
                  'fn' => {'name' => 'fn', 'in_code' => 1, },
                  'some' => {'in_code' => 0},
                  'code' => {'in_code' => 1}};

=back

=head2 Texinfo Parser options

Setting these options is the same as seeing some Texinfo constructs in the 
document.

=over

=item aliases

In general those two strings should be set simultaneously.

=item indices

If it is a hash reference, the keys are index names, the values are
index prefix hash references.  The index prefix hash reference values are
prefix, the value is set if the corresponding index entries should be
formatted as if in C<@code>.  An example is as L</indices_information>.

If it is an array reference, it is a list of index names, as if they were
entered as

  @defindex name

=item kbdinputstyle

A string, the C<@kbdinputstyle> style.

=item labels

A hash reference.  Keys are normalized node names as described in the
B<HTML Xref> node in the Texinfo manual.  Instead of a node, it may also
be a float label or an anchor name.  The value is the corresponding 
@-command element in the tree.

=item macros

The associated hash reference has as keys user-defined macro names.  The
value is the reference on a macro definition element as obtained by 
the Parser when parsing a C<@macro>.  For example

  @macro mymacro{arg}
  coucou \arg\ after arg
  @end macro

Is associated to a macro definition element

  {'cmdname' => 'macro',
   'args' => [{'text' => 'mymacro', 'type' => 'macro_name'},
              {'text' => 'arg', 'type' => 'macro_arg}],

C<@raisesections>.

=item values

A hash reference.  Keys are names, values are the corresponding values.
Same as values set by C<@set>.

=back

=head1 TEXINFO TREE

A Texinfo tree element (called element because node is overloaded in 
the Texinfo world) is an hash reference.  There are three main categories
of tree element.  Tree elements associated with an @-command have a 
C<cmdname> key holding the @-command name.  Tree elements corresponding
to text fragments have a C<text> key holding the corresponding text.
Finally, the last category is other containers (hereafter called 
containers) which in most cases have a C<type> key holding their name.  
Text fragments and @-command elements may also have an associated type 
when such information is needed.

The children of an @-command or container element are in the array
referred to with the C<args> key or with the C<contents> key.  The
C<args> key is for arguments of @-commands, either in braces or on
the rest of the line after the command, depending on the type of command.
C<args> is also used for the elements of a menu entry, as a menu
entry is well-structured with a limited number of arguments.  
The C<contents> key array holds the contents of the texinfo 
code appearing within a block @-command, within a container, 
or within a C<@node> or sectioning @-command.

Another important key for the elements is the C<extra> key which is 
associated to a hash reference and holds all kinds of information that
is gathered during the parsing and may help with the conversion.

You can see examples of the tree structure by running makeinfo like 
this:

  makeinfo -c DUMP_TREE=1 -c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=parse document.texi

For a simpler, more regular representation of the tree structure, you 
can do:

  makeinfo -c TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT=debugtree document.texi

=head2 Element keys

=over

=item cmdname

The command name of @-command elements.

=item text

The text fragment of text elements.

=item type

The type of the element.  For C<@verb> it is the delimiter.  But otherwise
it is the type of element considered as a container.  Frequent types 
encountered are I<paragraph> for a paragraph container, 
I<brace_command_arg> for the container holding the brace @-commands 
contents, I<misc_line_arg> and I<block_line_arg> contain the arguments 
appearing on the line of @-commands.  Text fragments may have a type to
give an information of the kind of text fragment, for example 
C<empty_spaces_before_argument> is associated to spaces after a brace 
opening and before the argument.  Many @-commands elements don't have
a type associated.

=item args

Arguments in braces or on @-command line, and the elements of a menu entry.

=item contents

The Texinfo appearing in the element.  For block commands, other 
containers, C<@node> and sectioning commands.

=item parent

The parent element.

=item line_nr

An hash reference corresponding to information on the location of the 
element in the Texinfo input manual.  It should only be available for 
@-command elements, and only for @-commands that are considered to be 
complex enough that the location in the document is needed, for example 
to prepare an error message.  

The keys of the line number hash references are

=over

=item line_nr

The line number of the @-command.

=item file_name

The file name where @-command appeared.

=item macro

The user macro name the @-command is expanded from.

=back

=item extra

A hash reference holding any additional information. 
See L</Information available in the extra key>.

=back

=head2 Element types

=head3 Types for command elements

Some types can be associated with @-commands (in addition to the element 
being described by C<cmdname>), although usually there will be no type 
at all.  As said above, for C<@verb> the type is the delimiter.  For a 
C<@value> command that is not expanded because there is no corresponding 
value set, the type is the value argument string.  

The following are the other possible values of C<type> for tree elements 
for @-commands.

=over

=item def_line

This type may be associated with a definition command with a x form,
like C<@defunx>, C<@defvrx>.  For the form without x, the associated
I<def_line> is the first C<contents> element.  It is described in more
details below.

=item command_as_argument

This is the type of a command given in argument of C<@itemize>, 
C<@table>, C<@vtable> or C<@ftable>.  For example in 

 @itemize @bullet
 @item item
 @end itemize

the element corresponding with bullet has the following keys:

  'cmdname' => 'bullet'
  'type' => 'command_as_argument'

The parent @-command has an entry in extra for the I<command_as_argument>
element:

  'cmdname' => 'itemize'
  'extra => {'command_as_argument' => $command_element_as_argument}

=item index_entry_command

This is the type of index entry command like C<@cindex>, and, more
importantly user-defined index entry commands.  So for example if there
is 

 @defindex foo
  ...

 @fooindex index entry

the C<@fooindex> @-command element will have the I<index_entry_command>
type.

=item following_arg

This type is set for non-alphabetic accent @-commands that don't use braces
but instead have their argument right after them, as

  @~n

=item space_command_arg

This type is set for accent @-commands that don't use brace but instead
have their argument after some space, as

  @ringaccent A

=item definfoenclose_command

This type is set for an @-command that is redefined by C<@definfoenclose>.
The beginning is in C<< {'extra'}->{'begin'} >> and the end in 
C<< {'extra'}->{'end'} >>.

=back

=head3 Types for text elements

The text elements may have the following types (or may have no type
at all):

=over

=item empty_line

An empty line (possibly containing whitespace characters only).

=item empty_line_after_command

=item empty_spaces_after_command

The text is spaces for I<empty_spaces_after_command> 
or spaces followed by a newline for 
I<empty_line_after_command>, appearing after an @-command that 
takes an argument on the line or a block @-command.

=item empty_spaces_before_argument

The text is spaces appearing after an opening brace or after a 
comma separating a command's arguments.

=item spaces_at_end

Space at the end of an argument to a line command, at the end of an
comma-separated argument for some brace commands, or at the end of
bracketed content on a C<@multitable> line or definition line.

=item space_at_end_block_command

Space at the end of a block @-command line.

=item empty_spaces_after_close_brace

Spaces appearing after a closing brace, for some rare commands for which
this space should be ignorable (like C<@caption>).

=item empty_spaces_before_paragraph

Space appearing before a paragraph beginning.

=item raw

Text in an environment where it should be kept as is (in C<@verbatim>,
C<@verb>, C<@html>, C<@macro> body).

=item last_raw_newline

The last end of line in a raw block (except for C<@verbatim>).

=item preamble_text

Text appearing before real content, including the C<\input texinfo.tex>. 

=item space_at_end_menu_node

=item after_description_line

Space after a node in the menu entry, when there is no description,
and space appearing after the description line.

=back

=head3 Types of container elements

The other types of element are the following.  These are containers with 
other elements appearing in their C<contents>.

=over

=item text_root

=item document_root

=item root_line

These types correspond to document roots.  C<text_root> is the document
root when there is no C<@node> or sectioning command.  When
such a command appears, a new root container is used, C<document_root>,
and C<text_root> becomes the first element in the contents of C<document_root>.
C<root_line> is the type of the root tree when parsing Texinfo line
fragments using C<parse_texi_line>.

=item preamble

This container holds the text appearing before the first content, including
the C<\input texinfo.tex> line and following blank lines.

=item preamble_before_setfilename

This container holds everything that appears before C<@setfilename>
if I<IGNORE_BEFORE_SETFILENAME> parser option is set.

=item paragraph

A paragraph.  The C<contents> of a paragraph (like other container 
elements for Texinfo content) are elements representing the contents of 
the paragraph in the order they occur, such as simple text elements 
without a C<cmdname> or C<type>, or @-command elements for commands 
appearing in the paragraph.

=item preformatted

Texinfo code within a format that is not filled.  Happens within some
block commands like C<@example>, but also in menu (in menu descriptions,
menu comments...).

=item brace_command_arg

=item brace_command_context

=item misc_line_arg

=item block_line_arg

Those containers occur within the C<args> array of @-commands taking an 
argument.  I<brace_command_arg> is used for the arguments to commands
taking arguments surrounded by braces (and in some cases separated by 
commas).  I<brace_command_context> is used for @-commands with braces 
that start a new context (C<@footnote>, C<@caption>, C<@math>).

I<misc_line_arg> is used for commands that take the texinfo code on the
rest of the line as their argument (for example (C<@settitle>, C<@node>, 
C<@section> and similar).  I<block_line_arg> is similar but is used for 
commands that start a new block (which is to be ended with C<@end>).

For example

 @code{in code}

leads to

 {'cmdname' => 'code',
  'args' => [{'type' => 'brace_command_arg',
              'contents' => [{'text' => 'in code'}]}]}

=item misc_arg

Used for the arguments to some special line commands whose arguments
aren't subject to the usual macro expansion.  For example C<@set>, 
C<@clickstyle>, C<@unmacro>, C<@comment>.  The argument is associated to 
the I<text> key.

=item menu_entry

=item menu_entry_leading_text

=item menu_entry_name

=item menu_entry_separator

=item menu_entry_node

=item menu_entry_description

A I<menu_entry> holds a full menu entry, like

  * node::    description.

The different elements of the menu entry are directly in the 
I<menu_entry> C<args> array reference.

I<menu_entry_leading_text> holds the star and following spaces. 
I<menu_entry_name> is the menu entry name (if present), I<menu_entry_node>
corresponds to the node in the menu entry, I<menu_entry_separator> holds
the text after the node and before the description, in most cases
C<::   >.  Lastly, I<menu_entry_description> is for the description.

=item menu_comment

The I<menu_comment> container holds what is between menu entries 
in menus.  For example in 

  @menu
  Menu title

  * entry::

  Between entries
  * other::
  @end menu

Both 

  Menu title

and

  Between entries

will be in I<menu_comment>.

=item macro_name

=item macro_arg

Taken from C<@macro> definition and put in the C<args> key array of
the macro, I<macro_name> is the type of the text fragment corresponding 
to the macro name, I<macro_arg> is the type of the text fragments 
correponding to macro formal arguments.

=item before_item

A container for content before the first C<@item> of block @-commands
with items (C<@table>, C<@multitable>, C<@enumerate>...).

=item table_entry

=item table_term

=item table_item

=item inter_item

Those containers appear in C<@table>, C<@ftable> and C<@vtable>.
A I<table_entry> container contains an entire row of the table.
It contains a I<table_term> container, which holds all the C<@item> and
C<@itemx> lines.  This is followed by a I<table_item> container, which
holds the content that is to go into the second column of the table.

If there is any content before an C<@itemx> (normally only comments, 
empty lines or maybe index entries are allowed), it will be in 
a container with type I<inter_item>. 

=item def_line

=item def_item

=item inter_def_item

The I<def_line> type is either associated with a container within a
definition command, or is the type of a definition command with a x
form, like C<@deffnx>.  It holds the definition line arguments.
The container with type I<def_item> holds the definition text content.
Content appearing before a definition command with a x form is in
an I<inter_def_item> container.

=item multitable_head

=item multitable_body

=item row

In C<@multitable>, a I<multitable_head> container contains all the rows
with C<@headitem>, while I<multitable_body> contains the rows associated
with C<@item>.  A I<row> container contains the C<@item> and @<tab> 
forming a row.

=item bracketed

This a special type containing content in brackets in the context
where they are valid, in C<@math>.

=item bracketed_def_content

Content in brackets on definition command lines.

=item bracketed_multitable_prototype

I<prototypes>.  If there is a C<@columnfractions> as argument, then the 
I<columnfractions> key is associated with the array of columnfractions
arguments, holding all the column fractions.

=item C<@enumerate>

The extra key I<enumerate_specification> contains the enumerate 
argument.

=item C<@itemize>

=item C<@table>

=item C<@vtable>

=item C<@ftable>

The I<command_as_argument> extra key points to the @-command on
as argument on the @-command line.

=item paragraph

The I<indent> or I<noindent> key value is set if the corresponding 
@-commands are associated with that paragraph. 

=item C<@item> in C<@enumerate> or C<@itemize>

The I<item_number> extra key holds the number of this item.

=item C<@item> and C<@tab> in C<@multitable>

The I<cell_number> index key holds the index of the column of
the cell.

=item row

The I<row_number> index key holds the index of the row in 
the C<@multitable>.

=item C<@author>

If in a C<@titlepage>, the titlepage is in I<titlepage>, if in
C<@quotation> or C<@smallquotation>, the corresponding tree element
is in I<quotation>.

The author tree element is in the I<author> array of the C<@titlepage>
or the C<@quotation> or C<@smallquotation> it is associated with.

=item C<@ifclear>

=item C<@ifset>

The original line is in I<line>.

=item C<@end>

The textual argument is in I<command_argument>.
The corresponding @-command is in I<command>.

=item C<@documentencoding>

The argument, normalized is in I<input_encoding_name> if it is recognized.
The corresponding perl encoding name is in I<input_perl_encoding>.

=item C<@click>

In I<clickstyle> there is the current clickstyle command.

=item C<@kbd>

I<code> is set depending on the context and C<@kbdinputstyle>.

=item definfoenclose defined commands

I<begin> holds the string beginning the definfoenclose, 
I<end> holds the string ending the definfoenclose.

=item menu_entry

The I<menu_entry_description> and I<menu_entry_name> keys
are associated with the corresponding tree elements. The
I<menu_entry_node> value is a hash with information about the parsed
node entry; its keys are the same as those appearing in the
elements of the I<nodes_manuals> array for C<@node>.

=item empty_line_after_command

The corresponding command is in I<command>.

=item C<@inlinefmt>

=item C<@inlineraw>

=item C<@inlinefmtifelse>

=item C<@inlineifclear>

=item C<@inlineifset>

The first argument is in I<format>.  If an argument has been determined
as being expanded by the Parser, the index of this argument is in
I<expand_index>.  Index numbering begins at 0, but the first argument is
always the format or flag name, so, if set, it should be 1 or 2 for
C<@inlinefmtifelse>, and 1 for other commands.

=back

=head2 Other information set by the parser

The parser creates an array of nodes and stores this in the
I<nodes> key of the parser object.

Each element in the tree corresponding to a node contaning a menu
has a I<menus> key which refers to an array of references to menu
elements occuring in the node.

These are both used by the C<Texinfo::Structuring> module.
