LaTeX::Encode exports the function 'latex_encode' which encodes characters in a string, that would be incorrectly interpreted by LaTeX.
The latex_encode function takes a text string and an optional reference to a hash of options. The options currently supported are "exclude" to specify a list of characters that should not be encoded (often this is "\\{}" to allow LaTeX commands to be used in the text string), and "iquotes" to enable "intelligent quotes", that is double quotes around a phrase will be converted to "``" and "''" and single quotes to "`" and "'".
The scripts directory contains scripts to help build the character encoding tables used by the module and to create and format a document listing the characters that the module encodes with their Unicode character value, HTML entity representation, LaTeX encoding and visual representation. These scripts are not installed by "make install".
