&'MIFwrite_open(
FILEHANDLE, $token, $indent);
MIFwrite_open
outputs the MIF to FILEHANDLE that opens $token
with a
character indent of $indent
. Example:
&'MIFwrite_open(STDOUT, `Pgf', 5);
would output:
<Pgf
&'MIFwrite_close(
FILEHANDLE, $indent);
MIFwrite_close
outputs the MIF to FILEHANDLE that closes an open token
with a character indent of $indent
. Example:
&'MIFwrite_close(STDOUT, 5);
would output:
>
&'MIFwrite_statement(
FILEHANDLE, $token, $data, $indent);
MIFwrite_statement
writes the MIF statement with token $token
and data
$data
. $indent
specifies the character indent of the statement. Example:
&'MIFwrite_statement(STDOUT, 'Char', 'HardSpace', 4);
would output:
<Char HardSpace>
&'MIFwrite_str_statement(
FILEHANDLE, $token, $data,
$indent);
MIFwrite_str_statement
writes the MIF string statement with token $token
and string data $data
. $indent
specifies the character indent of the statement.
Example:
&'MIFwrite_str_statement(STDOUT, 'Paraline', 'Hello World!', 4);
would output:
<Paraline `Hello World!'>
MIFwrite_str_statement
adds the MIF string delimiters for you, so there is no
need to add them yourself to $data
. MIFwrite_str_statement
assumes that
$data
is a valid MIF string. See MIFescape_string about converting a string to a
valid MIF string.
&'MIFescape_string(*str);
MIFescape_string
escapes certain characters in *str
to convert *str
to a
valid MIF string. The following characters are converted:
\
' --> '\\
'
'
>
' --> '\>
'
'
' --> '\q
'
`
' --> '\Q
'
MIFescape_string
.
As you can see, MIFescape_string
is not really a write routine. The routine
itself does not warrent its own page, and it is normally used in conjunction with
MIFwrite_str_statment.
