Expands a data file glob to a list of filenames
Searches for a data file by The exact path if the filename is absolute In the input_directory, if defined In the output_directory, if defined Relative to the current directory In the same directory as the control file Using kpsewhich, if available
Check existence of NFC/NFD file variants and return correct one. Account for windows file encodings
Wrapper around various warnings bits and pieces
Logs a warning, add warning to the list of .bbl warnings and optionally
increments warning count in Biber object, if present
Wrapper around error logging
Forces an exit.
Tries to convert UTF-8 to TeX macros in passed string
Removes elements which are not to be considered during initials generation in names
Removes elements which are not to be used in sorting a name from a string
Common bit for normalisation
Normalise strings used for hashes. We collapse LaTeX macros into a vestige
so that hashes are unique between things like:
Smith
{\v S}mith
we replace macros like this to preserve their vestiges:
\v S -> v:
\" -> 34:
Like normalise_string, but also substitutes ~ and whitespace with underscore.
Escapes a few special character which might be used in labels
Unscapes a few special character which might be used in label but which need sorting without escapes
Remove surrounding curly brackets:
'{string}' -> 'string'
but not
'{string} {string}' -> 'string} {string'
Return (boolean if stripped, string)
Return (boolean if surrounded in braces
Add surrounding curly brackets:
'string' -> '{string}'
upper case of initial letters in a string
Checks for undefness of arbitrary things, including
composite method chain calls which don't reliably work
with defined() (see perldoc for defined())
This works because we are just testing the value passed
to this sub. So, for example, this is randomly unreliable
even if the resulting value of the arg to defined() is "undef":
defined($thing->method($arg)->method)
wheras:
is_undef($thing->method($arg)->method)
works since we only test the return value of all the methods
with defined()
Checks for definedness in the same way as is_undef()
Checks for undef or nullness (see is_undef() above)
Checks for def and unnullness (see is_undef() above)
Checks for def and nullness (see is_undef() above)
Checks for nullness
Checks for notnullness
Checks for notnullness of a scalar
Checks for notnullness of an array (passed by ref)
Checks for notnullness of an hash (passed by ref)
Checks for notnullness of an object (passed by ref)
Turns a hash into a string of keys and values
Normalise any UTF-8 encoding string immediately to exactly what we want We want the strict perl utf8 "UTF-8"
We turn the initials into an array so we can be flexible with them later The tie here is used only so we know what to split on. We don't want to make any typesetting decisions in Biber, like what to use to join initials so on output to the .bbl, we only use BibLaTeX macros.
Replace all join typsetting elements in a name part (space, ties) with BibLaTeX macros so that typesetting decisions are made in BibLaTeX, not hard-coded in Biber
Process any per_entry option transformations which are necessary on output
Do an interpolating (neg)match using a match RE and a string passed in as variables
Using /g on matches so that $1,$2 etc. can be populated from repeated matches of
same capture group as well as different groups
Do an interpolating match/replace using a match RE, replacement RE
and string passed in as variables
Validate a biber/biblatex XML metadata file against an RNG XML schema
Convert booleans between strings and numbers. Because standard XML "boolean"
datatype considers "true" and "1" the same etc.
Set per-entry options
Merge entry options, dealing with conflicts
Expand options such as meta-options coming from biblatex
Parse of ISO8601 date range Returns two-element array ref: [start DT object, end DT object]
Parse of ISO8601-2:2016 4.3 unspecified format into date range Returns range plus specification of granularity of unspecified
Convenience wrapper
Convenience wrapper
Parse of EDTF dates
Force month/day to ISO8601-2:2016 format with leading zero
Perform NFD form conversion as well as UTF-8 conversion. Used to normalize
bibtex input as the T::B interface doesn't allow a neat whole file slurping.
Output to target. Outputs NFC UTF-8 if output is UTF-8
Fix up some problems with comments after being processed by btparse
Map babel/polyglossia language options to a sensible CLDR (bcp47) locale default Return input string if there is no mapping
Map CLDR (bcp47) locale to a babel/polyglossia locale Return input string if there is no mapping
Calculate the length of a range field Range fields are an array ref of two-element array refs [range_start, range_end] range_end can be be empty for open-ended range or undef Deals with Unicode and ASCII roman numerals via the magic of Unicode NFKD form m-n -> [m, n] m -> [m, undef] m- -> [m, ''] -n -> ['', n] - -> ['', undef]
Return array ref of array refs of matches and start indices of matches for provided array of compiled regexps into string
Parses a range of values into a two-value array ref. Ranges with no starting value default to "1" Ranges can be open-ended and it's up to surrounding code to interpret this Ranges can be single figures which is shorthand for 1-x
Removes annotation marker from a field name
Parses a range of values into a two-value array ref. Either start or end can be undef and it's up to surrounding code to interpret this
Replace loop markers with values.
Get a ref to a transliterator for the given from/to We are abstracting this in this way because it is not clear what the future of the transliteration library is. We want to be able to switch.
Run a transliterator on passed text. Hides call semantics of transliterator so we can switch engine in the future.
