NAME
       "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Primitive"  - Primitive Control sequence definitions.


DESCRIPTION
       These represent primitive control sequences that are converted directly to Boxes or Lists containing
       basic Unicode content, rather than structured XML, or those executed for side effect during digestion in
       the LaTeXML::Core::Stomach, changing the LaTeXML::Core::State.  The results of invoking a
       "LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Primitive", if any, should be a list of digested items ("LaTeXML::Core::Box",
       "LaTeXML::Core::List" or "LaTeXML::Core::Whatsit").

       It extends LaTeXML::Core::Definition.

       Primitive definitions may have lists of daemon subroutines, "beforeDigest" and "afterDigest", that are
       executed before (and before the arguments are read) and after digestion.  These should either end with
       "return;", "()", or return a list of digested objects (LaTeXML::Core::Box, etc) that will be contributed
       to the current list.
