How to add custom syntax to support latex or something else?
danpalmer commented
You can write custom "directives". If you're implementing a MarkupVisitor
/MarkupRewriter
you need to implement visitBlockDirective
.
The syntax is a leading @
symbol, a name, an optional argument list with the first argument name being optional, and an optional {}
brace delimited child document.
For example:
@LaTeX {
This is a \LaTeX{} document
}
This would parse as a BlockDirective
with name LaTeX
, and children being a Text
element containing the text. From here you can extract this, replace it with something else, or do whatever you like.
