Texinfo::ManipulateTree - Texinfo modules common tree manipulation functions
The Texinfo Perl module main purpose is to be used in texi2any to convert
Texinfo to other formats. There is no promise of API stability.
Texinfo::ManipulateTree contains methods for copying and modifying the
Texinfo tree used for default conversion to output formats.
For optional tree transformation, see Texinfo::Transformations.
The Texinfo tree and Texinfo tree elements used in argument of some functions
are documented in TEXINFO TREE. When customization
information is needed, an object that defines get_conf is
expected, normally a Getting customization options values registered in document object.
In @enumerate and @itemize from the tree, move index entries
appearing just before @item after the @item. Comment lines
between index entries are moved too.
Protect colon with protect_colon_in_tree and characters that
are special in node names after a label in menu entries (tab
dot and comma) with protect_node_after_label_in_tree.
The protection is achieved by putting protected characters
in @asis{}.
Protect comma characters, replacing , with @comma{} in tree.
Modify $element contents by protecting the first parenthesis. If $element is undef a fatal error with a backtrace will be emitted.
In tables, relate index entries preceding and following an
entry with said item. Reference one of them in the entry’s
entry_associated_element.
