/*! \brief this class parses a mathematical markup string and can then draw the contained text/equation onto a <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpainter.html">QPainter</a>
    \ingroup jkqtmathtext_render

    
    JKQTMathText is a self-contained mathematical markup renderer for Qt. It is used to renderer
    labels in JKQTPlotter/JKQTBasePlotter, but can be used independently. 
    The class does not depend on any library, except Qt. 
    
    The implementation is split over several classes:
      - JKQTMathText implements drawing, based on a memory representatioj of the markup. It also provides an interface for class users.
      - JKQTMathTextParser and its children like JKQTMathTextLatexParser parses mathamtical markup.
      - The nodes summarized in \ref jkqtmathtext_items  are used to build the memory representation of the markup.
    .
    
    In particular JKQTMathTextLatexParser actually parses e.g. a LaTeX string and draws it in pure C++. It does NOT rely
    on an installed LaTeX for the rendering! See \ref jkqtmathtext_supportedlatex for a description of the supported LaTeX subset.

    More generally these pages describe how the class renders math markup:
      - \ref jkqtmathtext_renderingmodel for a description of the rendering model of JKQTMathTextLatexParser
      - \ref jkqtmathtext_fonthandling for a description of the font handling in JKQTMathTextLatexParser
        (which is modelled after LaTeX, but with tweaks especially for use in the  context of GUI code)
      - \ref jkqtmathtext_supportedlatex for a description of the supported LaTeX subset
    .
    

    \section JKQTMathTextUsage Usage

    \subsection JKQTMathTextUsageParsing Parsing Functions
    The class provieds two flavours of a parsing function:
      - There is a function \c parse(markup, markupType) that accepts the markup, the type of markup (as enum DefaultParserTypes)  and parser options.
        This function determines the appropriate parser class, based on the markup type.
      - A templated function parse<TParser>(markup, options) that gets a parser class to be used on the markup.
    .

    \subsection JKQTMathTextUsageDirect Drawing Functions
    The class provides different variants of the drawing function draw() that paints using an
    externlly provided <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qpainter.html">QPainter</a>. These variants
    either paint into a QRect, or starting from a single location (x,y).

    The QRect-variants can align the render result inside the rectangle, whereas the
    location-variants draw from a position that is on the left-hand side of the output's baseline:

    \image html jkqtmathtext/jkqtmathtext_node_geo.png

    Note that you first need to call one of the \ref JKQTMathTextUsageParsing so there is anything to render!



    \subsection JKQTMathTextUsageConvenience Convenience Functions

    Alternatively you can use these methods to directly generate a QPixmap or QPicture:
      - drawIntoPixmap()
      - drawIntoImage()
      - drawIntoPicture()
    .


    \subsection JKQTMathTextSizing Determining the size of an equation

    In addition there are also functions that allow to calculate the size of the equation,
    before drawing it (just like the functions in <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfontmetrics.html">QFontMetrics</a>
    or <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfontmetricsf.html">QFontMetricsF</a>):
      - getSizeDetail()
      - getSize()
      - getAscent(), getDescent()
    .


    \subsection JKQTMathTextUsageQLabel Usage within a QLabel class JKQTMathTextLabel

    Finally, there is also a QLabel-derived class JKQTMathTextLabel which can be used for drawing a LaTeX string onto a Qt form.

    \see JKQTMathTextLabel


    \subsection JKQTMathTextErrorHandling Error Handling

    The class is designed to be as robust as possible and will still return some output, even if the equation contains some errors.
    Nevertheless, several errors are detected while parsing. You can get a list of error messages using getErrorList() after calling parse().
    Also parse() will return \c false if an error occured while parsing.

    \subsection JKQTMathTextUsageExample Example Code
    This small piece of C++ code may serve as an example of the usage and capabilities of the class:
    \code
    // create a JKQTMathText object.
    JKQTMathText mathText;

    // configure its properties to influence the rendering (e.g. fonts to use, font size, ...)
    mathText.useXITS();
    mathText.setFontSize(20);

    // parse some LaTeX code (the Schroedinger's equation)
    mathText.parse("$\\left[-\\frac{\\hbar^2}{2m}\\frac{\\partial^2}{\\partial x^2}+V(x)\\right]\\Psi(x)=\\mathrm{i}\\hbar\\frac{\\partial}{\\partial t}\\Psi(x)$");

    // draw the result into a QPixmap
    QPixmap result=mathText.drawIntoPixmap();
    \endcode

    Alternatively you can also use this class with a <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qpainter.html">QPainter</a>:

    \code
    // use the draw() methods to draw the equation using a QPainter (here onto a QPixmap)
    QPainter painter;

    // first we determine the size of the render output:
    const JKQTMathTextNodeSize size=getSizeDetail(painter);

    // now we can us that size information to render:
    mathText.draw(painter, Qt::AlignCenter, QRectF(0,0,pix.width(), pix.height()), false);
    \endcode




    \section JKQTMathTextToHTML Convert to HTML

    The method toHtml() may be used to get a HTML representation of the LaTeX string, if possible (only for simple LaTeX equations!). Whether
    the transformation was possible is returned as a call by value argument!
