NAME
       "LaTeXML::Core::KeyVal" - Key-Value Defintions in LaTeXML

DESCRIPTION
       Provides	an interface to	define and access KeyVal definition.  Used in
       conjunction with	"LaTeXML::Core::KeyVals" to fully implement KeyVal
       pairs. It extends LaTeXML::Common::Object.

   Exposed Methods
       "DefKeyVal(keyset, key, type, default, %options); "
	   Defines a new KeyVal	Parameter in the given keyset, key and with
	   optional prefix option{prefix}. For descriptions of further
	   parameters, see LaTeXML::Core::KeyVal::define.

       "HasKeyVal(prefix, keyset, key);	"
	   Checks if the given KeyVal pair exists.

       "DisableKeyVal(prefix, keyset, key); "
	   Disables the	given KeyVal so	that it	can not	be used.

   Constructors
       "<LaTeXML::Core::KeyVal-"new(preset, keyset, key); >>
	   Creates a new KeyVal	object.	This serves as a simple	reference to
	   the given KeyVal object, regardless of its existence	or not.

   KeyVal Accessors
       "$prefix	= $keyval->getPrefix;"
	   Gets	the prefix of this KeyVal object.

       "$keyset	= $keyval->getKeySet;"
	   Gets	the keyset of this KeyVal object.

       "$key = $keyval->getKey;"
	   Gets	the key	of this	KeyVal object.

       "$prefix	= $keyval->getFullPrefix;"
	   Gets	the full prefix	of this	keyval object, to be used when
	   composing macros.

       "$prefix	= $keyval->getHeader;"
	   Gets	the header of this keyval object, to be	used when composing
	   macros.

   Keyval Property Getters
       "$value = $keyval->getProp($prop);"
	   Gets	the value of a given property of this KeyVal. Intended for
	   internal use	only.

       "$value = $keyval->setProp($prop, $value, $scope);"
	   Sets	the value of the given property	with the given value and
	   scope. Intended for internal	use only.

       "$type =	$keyval->getType();"
	   Gets	the type of this KeyVal	object,	as found in $STATE.

       "$keyval->setType($type);"
	   Sets	the type of this KeyVal	object,	as found in $STATE.

       "$default = $keyval->getDefault();"
	   Gets	the default of this KeyVal object, as found in $STATE.

       "$keyval->setDefault($default, $setMacros);"
	   Sets	the default of this KeyVal object, and optionally sets the
	   macros as well.

   KeyVal Key Definition
       "$defined = $keyval->isDefined($checkMacros);"
	   Checks if this KeyVal item is actually defined. If checkMacros is
	   set to true,	also check if macros are defined.

       "$keyval->define($type, $default, %options);"
	   (Re-)defines	this Key of kind 'kind'.  Defines a keyword key	used
	   in keyval arguments for the set keyset and, and if the option code
	   is given, defines appropriate macros	when used with the keyval
	   package (or extensions thereof).

	   If type is given, it	defines	the type of value that must be
	   supplied, such as 'Dimension'.  If default is given,	that value
	   will	be used	when key is used without an equals and explicit	value
	   in a	keyvals	argument.

	   A scope option can be given,	which can be used to defined the key-
	   value pair globally instead of in the current scope.

	   Several more	options	can be given. These implement the behaviour of
	   the xkeyval package.

	   The prefix parameter	can be used to configure a custom prefix for
	   the macros to be defined. The kind parameter	can be used to
	   configure special types of xkeyval pairs.

	   The 'ordinary' kind behaves like a normal keyval parameter.

	   The 'command' kind defines a	command	key, that when run stores the
	   value of the	key in a special macro,	which can be further specefied
	   by the macroprefix option.

	   The 'choice'	kind defines a choice key, which takes additional
	   options choices (to specify which choices are valid values),
	   mismatch (to	be run if an invalid choice is made) and bin (see
	   xkeyval documentation for details).

	   The 'boolean' kind defines a	special	choice key that	takes possible
	   values true and false, and defines a	new Conditional	according to
	   the assumed value. The name of this conditional can be specified
	   with	the macroprefix	option.

	   The kind parameter only takes effect	when code is given, otherwise
	   only	meta-data is stored.

       "$keyval->defineOrdinary($code);"
	   Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for an ordinary key.

       "$keyval->defineCommand($code, $macroprefix);"
	   Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for a command key.

       "$keyval->defineChoice($code, $mismatch,	$choices, $normalize, $bin);"
	   Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for an choice key.

       "$keyval->defineBoolean($code, $mismatch, $macroprefix);"
	   Helper function to define $STATE neccesary for a boolean key.

       "disabled = $keyval->isDisabled();"
	   Checks if this keyval property is disabled.

       "$keyval->disable();"
	   Disables this KeyVal	object in $STATE.

   Value Related
       "$expansion = $keyval->setKeys($value, $useDefault, $checkExistence,
       $checkDisabled, $setInternals);"
	   Expands this	KeyVal into a Tokens() to be used with \setkeys.
	   value contains the value to be used in the expansion, useDefault
	   indicates if	the value argument should be ignored and the default
	   should be used instead.  If checkExistence is set to	1 and the
	   macro does not exist, undef is returned.  If	checkDisabled is set
	   to 1	and the	macro is disabled, an empty Tokens() is	returns.  If
	   $setInternals is set, sets XKeyVal internal macros.

       "$reversion = $keyval->digest($stomach, $value);"
	   Digests this	KeyVal with the	given stomach and value.

       "$reversion = $keyval->revert($value, $useDefault, $compact, $isFirst,
       $punct, $assign);"
	   Reverts this	KeyVal with a given value (or the default if IsDefault
	   is set) and punctuation and assignment tokens.  If compact is
	   given, spaces will be omitted when possible.	 The isDefault
	   parameter indicates if appropriate seperation tokens	should be
	   inserted.

       "$str = $keyval->toString();"
	   Turns this KeyVal object into a string.
