Raw LaTeX: {} at the end

Raw LaTeX: {} at the end

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 891 bytes --]

In LaTeX, you occasionally use macros like this:

namespace\fshyp{}container


Problem: My filter (for HTML) only receives the raw LaTeX \fshyp (without 
the curly braces).

   - Would it make sense to change this parsing behavior of Pandoc?
   - Work-around (which is a bit ugly): namespace`\fshyp{}`{=latex}container

Is this a macro with one argument, and you're passing
in an empty argument?  Or are you just using `{}` to
separate `\fshyp` from the following word?

The latter. But the former also seems like it could happen.

Supposing that you mean how to enter the raw LaTeX into the markdown I
always just use `\foo{}bar`. It gives the expected result, i.e. the braces
become part of the raw TeX inline:

````native
[Para [RawInline (Format "tex") "\\foo{}",Str "bar"]]
````

The empty braces should always be harmless, or aren't they?

Or do you experience/expect something else?

I’ve switched to a different approach now. But in principle, the problem is 
that I always target both LaTeX and HTML. With the latter, I don’t want to 
have the empty braces.

Example:

INPUT: foo\bar{}baz
AST: [Para [Str "foo",RawInline (Format "tex") "\\bar",Str "{}baz"]]

Here, I can’t use my own Lua filter to implement \bar{} for HTML, because 
that filter will miss the empty braces.

Re: Raw LaTeX: {} at the end

I think it would be reasonable to include the {} in
the tex.  You are welcome to open an issue about this.

You can also use the raw attribute:

   `\foo{}`{=latex}

For me the braces are included in the TeX. The example I posted earlier
today was generated with

http://pandoc.org/try/?text=%5Cfoo%7B%7Dbar&from=markdown&to=native

also with the braces included in the TeX.

 Yes! My example is 
different: http://pandoc.org/try/?text=foo%5Cbar%7B%7Dbaz&from=markdown&to=native

I definitely consider the different behavior in these two cases a bug, and
I also consider including the braces in the TeX to be the only sensible
behavior.

Re: Raw LaTeX: {} at the end

[John MacFarlane]

This is crazy!

http://pandoc.org/try/?text=%5Cfoo%7B%7Dbar%0A%0A%5Cbar%7B%7Dbaz%0A&from=markdown&to=native

The only difference between these is whether the
string is foo or bar.  I can't see how that could
possibly cause different parsing!

Anyway, someone should submit an issue with this case.

Re: Raw LaTeX: {} at the end

[John MacFarlane]

Ah, I see what is going on.

\bar is already a supported inline command in the LaTeX
reader. And this command doesn't take arguments.  That's why
the {} isn't included, but is with \foo.

One could still argue that in parsing raw LaTeX one
should always absorb a following {}.

Re: Raw LaTeX: {} at the end

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1295 bytes --]

Yes one should because adding an empty group is a common strategy to avoid
having to insert a space which will be gobbled, and with pandoc you pretty
much have to do it since a following space will be parsed as a Space, but
in the output TeX will gobble that space anyway unless you protect it with
an empty group.

Ah, amazing – I didn’t even consider that changing the command name could 
have an effect, but it does (I thought it was about text preceding the 
command):

namespace\fshyp{}container
[Para [Str "namespace",RawInline (Format "tex") "\\fshyp",Str 
"{}container"]]

namespace\aaa{}container
[Para [Str "namespace",RawInline (Format "tex") "\\aaa{}",Str "container"]]

Not so, at least not with the current version!

Yes but *LaTeX* will eat the space eventually unless it is protected.

Right, that's the point. There won't be a space with

    aaa\foo bbb

so you could just use this form instead of

    aaa\foo{}bbb
