stri_stats_latex: Statistics for a Character Vector Containing LaTeX Commands

Description

This function gives LaTeX-oriented statistics for a character vector, e.g. obtained by loading a text file with the readLines function, where each text line is represented by a separate string.

Usage

stri_stats_latex(str)

Arguments

str

character vector to be aggregated

Value

Returns an integer vector with the following named elements:
1. CharsWord- number of word characters;
2. CharsCmdEnvir- command and words characters;
3. CharsWhite- LaTeX white spaces, including \{ and \} in some contexts;
4. Words- number of words;
5. Cmds- number of commands;
6. Envirs- number of environments;
7. ... (Other stuff that may appear in future releases ofstringi).

Details

We use a slightly modified LaTeX Word Count algorithm taken from Kile 2.1.3, see http://kile.sourceforge.net/team.php for original contributors.

       "")
