+# platex
+
+The bundle provides pLaTeX2e and miscellaneous macros for pTeX and e-pTeX.
+
+The bundle is a community edition forked from the original ASCII edition
+(ptex-texmf-2.5). The GitHub repository
+
+- https://github.com/texjporg/platex
+
+is now maintained by [Japanese TeX Development Community](http://texjp.org).
+
+The original ASCII edition can be obtained from:
+
+- https://ctan.org/pkg/ptex-texmf
+
+## Changes from the original ASCII edition
+
+See the documents (platex.pdf, pldoc.pdf, platexrelease.pdf) for more information.
+
+- Fix macros which are inconsistent with the latest e-pTeX
+ (e.g. \footnote, tabular, \parbox, \underline).
+- Fix several bugs in pLaTeX2e format and packages.
+- Add platexrelease.sty. As with the latexrelease package, this
+ package enables us to use the old versions of pLaTeX2e (from
+ 2006/11/10 the ASCII edition).
+
+## Documentation
+
+A brief exposition of pLaTeX2e is provided in platex.pdf.
+The document can be obtained by executing the following commands:
+
+ platex platex.dtx
+ dvipdfmx platex.dvi
+
+The comprehensive explanation of pLaTeX2e source is included in
+pldoc.pdf. If you are interested in typesetting pldoc.tex yourself,
+the following commands will be helpful:
+
+ platex pldocs.ins
+ platex Xins.ins
+ sh mkpldoc.sh
+ dvipdfmx pldoc.dvi
+
+## Character encoding
+
+All the text files containing Japanese characters in this repository
+are encoded in ISO-2022-JP. This is because ISO-2022-JP encoded
+texts are most suitable for the traditional pTeX engine.
