TeX Parser       © BURGHARD Eric (© not serious, just for fun ;-)

Introduction
============

This parser do what many TeX parsers already do, but i think there are some
original features:

        - long instructions   (\ follow by any number of alphas)
        - short instruction   (one spec car after \)
        - hidden instructions (contains @ --- latex2e \makeatletter)
        - groups              ('{' and '}')
        - options             ('[' and ']')
        - numbers             ([0-9]+['.'|',']? or ['.'|',']?[0-9]+ or '[0-7]+ or "[0-9A-F]+)
        - dimensions          (number follow by a length unit "cm"|"in"|...)
        - comments            (begin with '%')
        - exponent-lower      ('^' and '_' respectively in math mode)
        - math mode           (enclose between '$' or '\(' '\)' pair)
        - uncutable space     ('~')
        - macros arguments    ('#' follow by [1-7])
        - spell check error   (ISpell must be running)
        - localized           (through envtex.catalogs)

The Spell checking part is roughly the same than dietmar's WarpSpell, but
without the part that launch ISpell (it must be running) -- so a good idea
is to use words.api.

Programming notes
=================

The parser is not very fast when you use ispell version, because it checks spell
correctness for all words that are not recognized to be instructions, keywords...

However you'll find 2 versions of the parser, one with spell checking
(TeX.parser) and the other one without (TeX.parser_nospell --- you should
rename it before install)

Send me your suggestions.

Have fun.
