core.rs

1//! The parser entry point and its output type.
2//!
3//! `parse` runs the pipeline: [`lex`](crate::parser::lex) → [`grammar::parse`] (the recursive
4//! descent, which emits events + errors) → [`build_tree`] (the green tree).
5//! Syntax errors ride a side channel and never abort the parse.

42/// Parse LaTeX source into a lossless CST.
43///
44/// A bounded two-pass parse handles user-defined verbatim-argument commands
45/// (`\newcommand`/xparse definitions that other a special char's catcode — see
46/// [`crate::semantic::define`]): the lexer needs to know such commands *before* it
47/// tokenizes their call sites, but they are only discoverable from the parsed tree.
48/// So pass 1 parses with built-in verbatim knowledge only, scans the result for
49/// catcode-verbatim definitions, and — *only* when it finds any — pass 2 re-parses
50/// with those commands fed into the lexer so their arguments become opaque `VERB`
51/// tokens. Two passes is a conservative bound: a definition visible
52/// only after the second pass's re-tokenization is a tolerated false negative. The
53/// common case is a single parse.

58/// Parse LaTeX source into a lossless CST under an explicit [`LexConfig`].
59///
60/// Identical to [`parse`] but fixes the lexer's initial catcode regime (a
61/// [`Package`](LatexFlavor::Package) flavor — `.sty`/`.cls` — starts with `@` as a
62/// letter) and whether to run the `.dtx` docstrip mode. A bare [`LatexFlavor`]
63/// coerces in, so most callers pass one directly; [`parse`] is the
64/// [`Document`](LatexFlavor::Document) wrapper.

70/// [declarations](crate::declarations) — the one input to the tree that is not
71/// the text (`AGENTS.md` decision #12).
72///
73/// The declarations are applied to **pass 1**, so a declaring project pays no
74/// extra parse: they are known before a byte is lexed, unlike the file's own
75/// definitions, which are what the two-pass scan exists to discover. The second
76/// pass is then decided by asking whether the *scan* contributed anything the
77/// declarations did not already say — not by asking whether the context is
78/// empty, which a seeded context never is.
79///
80/// [`ResolvedDeclarations`] rather than a bare `SignatureDb`: this is the only
81/// signature data the parser accepts, and a type that can only come from a
82/// declaration block is what keeps a document's merged scope (package scans,
83/// scanned definitions, the CWL tier) from reaching the tree.

98/// scan found makes its call sites lex differently, and a relex under a default
99/// context would silently disagree. It is free to hand back, since both passes
100/// compute it anyway (the one-pass case returns the seed it compared equal to).

149/// Scan `root` for user definitions and collect the facts pass 2 needs into a

151/// (`scan_definitions`); a command's `args` hold its leading, non-verbatim
152/// arguments and an environment's `args` its (all leading) arguments — the exact
153/// shapes the lexer needs.
154///
155/// The inverse case also feeds the context: a command the file redefines *non-verbatim*
156/// whose name collides with a built-in raw-argument command (`\code`, `\href`, …) is
157/// recorded as *suppressed*, so the local definition shadows the built-in and pass 2
158/// lexes `\code{…}` as an ordinary group (follow-up to issue #53).
159///
160/// Environment aliases (issue #109) are projected the same way, but only when the
161/// alias is *called* somewhere: a `.sty` that defines `\bea`/`\eea` for its users
162/// and never uses them must not pay a second parse for nothing. The occurrence
163/// count is a sound one-sided filter — a definition always contributes at least one
164/// `COMMAND` node, so a called alias always has two or more, and the worst a
165/// `\renewcommand` can do is admit an unused alias (one wasted pass, never a missed
