tvim-parser

This package implements parsing of the tvim articles which have certain TeX structure.

Install

$ npm install tvim-parser

Usage

The formats parameter is expected to be an array of objects as follows:

[
    {
        name: "tvim_ref", // Name of this type of article
        tag: "^\\\\tvimRef\n", // JS-compatible regex of the corresponding TeX tag
        fields: [ // array of fields to extract, in order they appear in the TeX file
            "main_author",
            "authors",
            // ...
        ]
    },
    // ...
]

The contents parameter is expected to be a string with contents of the TeX file to parse. TeX file must have the following structure to be parsed correctly:

\tvimRef
{Author 1}
{Author 1, Author 2, \textit{Author 3}}

i. e. there should be a tag, followed by a sequence of parameters, enclosed in curly braces. Example usage:

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
const tvimParser = require('tvim-parser');

let formats = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('./test/formats.example.json'), 'utf8'));
let contents = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('./test/example.tex'), 'utf8');

let result = tvimParser(formats, contents);

The result variable is expected to have the following value:

result = {
    tvim_ref: [
        {
            main_author: "Author 1",
            authors: "Author 1, Author 2, \\textit{Author 3}",
            // ..
        },
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
}
