Mathics-Scanner 1.1.0

Uses

This is used as the scanner inside Mathics but it can also be used for tokenizing and formatting Wolfram Language code. In fact we intend to write one. This library is also quite usefull if you need to work with Wolfram Language named character and convert them to various formats.

Usage

• For tokenizing and scanning Wolfram Language code, use the mathics_scanner.tokenizer.Tokenizer class.

• To convert between Wolfram Language named characters and Unicode/ASCII, use the mathics_scanner.characters.replace_wl_with_plain_text and mathics_scanner.characters.replace_unicode_with_wl functions.

• To convert between qualified names of named characters (such FormalA for \[FormalA]) and Wolfram’s internal representation use the m̀athics_scanner.characters.named_characters dictionary.

To regenerate scanner tables run:

$ mathics-generate-json-table

Implementation

For notes on the implementation of the packages or details on the conversion scheme please read implementation.rst.
