3 Structure Descriptions

3.1 Typesetting Structure Descriptions of Groups

3.1-1 TypesetStructureDescription
‣ TypesetStructureDescription( desc )( function )

Returns: A String

Generates a typesettable representation equivalent to a given structure description desc of a group. Said structure descriptions can be calculated via StructureDescription (Reference: StructureDescription).

3.1-2 LatexStructureDescription
‣ LatexStructureDescription( desc )( function )

Returns: A String

Generates a LaTeX representation equivalent to a given structure description desc. Called by TypesetStructureDescription (3.1-1) as the default markup language for structure description typesetting.

3.1-3 ConcatStructDescOperands
‣ ConcatStructDescOperands( desc, sep, newsep )( function )

Returns: A String

Concatenates the tokens parsed from splitting the string desc with the provided separator string sep. It will then process the tokens with LatexStructureDescription (3.1-2), and concatenate the results with the given new separator newsep.

While StructureDescription (Reference: StructureDescription) provides powerful functionality in calculating the structure description of an input group, the returned string is simply raw text, and does not look good when rendered in typical typesetting environment.

To improve this, the following functions have been written to help convert the structure description strings into typesettable representations, that use language-specific features to ensure that displaying structure descriptions aesthetically is easy and efficient.
