Function: decodeEscapes()

decodeEscapes(leaf, d, onUnknown?): string

Decode the four recognized ASTM escape mnemonics in a single already-split leaf (a component string), substituting the active delimiters read from the header. Unrecognized &…& bodies are preserved verbatim and reported through onUnknown (never dropped, never guessed).

This runs after splitting, so a decoded delimiter becomes ordinary literal text and can never introduce a new split boundary.

Parameters

leaf

string

One component string, escape-aware split already applied.

d

Delimiters

The delimiters resolved from the header.

onUnknown?

UnknownEscapeSink

Called once per unrecognized escape body encountered.

Returns

string

The decoded string.

Example

import { decodeEscapes, CANONICAL_DELIMITERS } from "@cosyte/astm";
decodeEscapes("1&S&40", CANONICAL_DELIMITERS); // "1^40"
