Method Detail

ISOToTeX

private void ISOToTeX()

Private constructor. This class cannot be instantiated.

getTeXEquivalent

public static java.lang.String getTeXEquivalent(char input)

Returns the L^AT_EX equivalent for the specified char.

If the input character equivalent is not found, this method returns null. You will have to check the return value, and take appropriate action.

Parameters:

input - - The character that is to be transformed.

Returns:

String - The LaTeX equivalent.

getTeXEquivalent

public static java.lang.String getTeXEquivalent(char input,
                                                boolean checkFlag)

Returns the L^AT_EX equivalent for the specified char.

If the input character equivalent is not found, and checkFlag is specified as DO_NULL_CHECK, then, a String representation of the input character is returned.

Parameters:

input - - The character that is to be transformed.

checkFlag - - Specify that checking for existence of ASCII equivalent should be done in the method or not. To enable checking, specify DO_NULL_CHECK.

Returns:

String - The LaTeX equivalent.

convertString

public static java.lang.String convertString(java.lang.String inString)

Convert all ISO 8859-1 encoded non-ASCII characters to appropriate L^AT_EX tags, and return the modified String object.

Parameters:

inString - - The String object that is to be modified.

Returns:

String - The modified String object.

convertString

public static java.lang.String convertString(java.lang.String inString,
                                             java.lang.String encoding)

Converts the input String in the specified character encoding to ISO 8859-1 encoding, and then invokes convertString( String ).

Parameters:

inString - - The String object in Windows Cp1252 format that is to be converted.

encoding - - The character encoding of input string.

Returns:

String - The modified String object.
