Constructor Detail

BibtexStringback to summary
public BibtexString(String name, String content)

Default constructor. Use this if in doubt. In case this constructor is used - and the library is eventually written, the serialization is generated from scratch (and not some null from parsedSerialization)

BibtexStringback to summary
public BibtexString(String name, String content, String parsedSerialization)

This is used to set the parsed serialization of the string. This is used when the string is read from a BibTeX file. Do not use if not working with reading BibTeX files (or similar actions). *

Parameters
parsedSerialization:String

The serialization read during parsing

Method Detail

cloneback to summary
public Object clone()

Overrides java.lang.Object.clone.

Doc from java.lang.Object.clone.

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

x.clone() != x
will be true, and that the expression:
x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
will be true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:
x.clone().equals(x)
will be true, this is not an absolute requirement.

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

Returns:Object

a clone of this instance.

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
o:Object

the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

public int hashCode()

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
Returns:int

a hash code value for this object

public final Enum BibtexString.Type

extends Enum<BibtexString.Type>
Class Inheritance

Type of a \@String.

Differentiate a \@String based on its usage:

- AUTHOR: prefix "a", for author and editor fields. - INSTITUTION: prefix "i", for institution and organization field - PUBLISHER: prefix "p", for publisher fields - OTHER: no prefix, for any field

Examples:

\@String { aKahle = "Kahle, Brewster " } -> author \@String { aStallman = "Stallman, Richard" } -> author \@String { iMIT = "{Massachusetts Institute of Technology ({MIT})}" } -> institution \@String { pMIT = "{Massachusetts Institute of Technology ({MIT}) press}" } -> publisher \@String { anct = "Anecdote" } -> other \@String { eg = "for example" } -> other \@String { et = " and " } -> other \@String { lBigMac = "Big Mac" } -> other

Usage:

\@Misc { title = "The GNU Project" author = aStallman # et # aKahle institution = iMIT publisher = pMIT note = "Just " # eg }
