If you have +worked with BORLAND or TURBO C, C++, or Pascal before, you won't have +problems to use XTeXShell. If not, please read the help pages about XTeX from +the main XTeX-window and try what the menu entries and buttons do. + + +Start XTeXShell with + + xtexsh [filename] [-m mainfilename] + +If you specify filename, XTeXShell will automatically start the editor and +load filename. + +The XTeXShell editor hates tabs and replaces them with spaces when loading +a file. This can take a while if you have large files, because a Tcl program +isn't as fast as a compiled program. In that case, you may wish to convert +your text file before loading it into the editor, for example with the +program TFC. + + +The following sections are information about features and the way XTeXShell +works, which you probably won't find out by trying. + +1) HyperText-Help + +From the XTeXShell-Editor, you can get online-help for LaTeX-commands by + - moving the mouse pointer on the word you want help for and press + the right mouse button + - moving the cursor on the word you want help for and press Ctrl-F1 + - Select LaTeX Help Index in the Help menu + + +2) X-Selection + +You can insert the X-Selection in the XTeX-Editor with a double click on +mouse button 2. This change to the normal X-definition (single click) was +necessary, because Tcl/Tk allows fast scrolling by moving the mouse with +button 2 pressed and I wanted to keep this feature. See "XTeX-Editor help" +entry in help menu for a detailed explanation of key/mouse functions. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +*** If you are a novice user, you don't need to read the rest of the document! +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +3) Setup System + +During Initialization, XTeXShell reads information and it's default values +from a setup file and a shortcuts file. Because XTeX was designed for a +multiuser system, the setup system is more complicated than in a single-user +environment: + + - Setup system. The default variables for XTeXShell are stored in the + setup files. Initialization is done in 3 steps: + + 1) XTeXShell loads the system-wide setup information. This is either + the file "setup.orig" in the XTeXShell root directory, or if exists, + the file "setup" in the same directory. Both files must be valid + Tcl/Tk scripts. + + "setup.orig" is the original setup file and you should *NEVER* change + it. If you want to modify default values, copy this file to "setup" + and make your system specific modifications there! + + 2) After completing system setup, XTeXShell continues with the user + setup. If available, it will read the file ~/.xtexsh.setup. Defaults + for users should go here. For creating your own ~/.xtexsh.setup file, + copy the file "setup" from the XTeX root directory. + An easier way is to use Options/Save options/Save global + function from the XTeX-Shell which will make the copy automatically + if no user setup file is present. + + 3) Sometimes it is nice to have special default values for a particular + task. Therefore the last step of XTeXShell is to try to read the + file "./.xtexsh.setup" in your current directory. This means that you + can make the behavior of XTeXShell dependent on the directory where + you start it. + If you want to use this feature, copy the file "~/.xtexsh.setup" to + your current directory. You can also use the function Options/Save + Options/Save Options Local, which will automatically make a copy, if + the file doesn't exist. + + - Shortcuts. The entries of the Shortcuts-menu and the text which is + inserted after invoking a shortcut is stored in the shortcuts-files. + Initialization happens in the same way as the setup-files, but the + filenames are: + + (XTeXShell-Root)/shortcuts.orig + (XTeXShell-Root)/shortcuts + ~/.xtexsh.shortcuts + ./.xtexsh.shortcuts + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +4) Known Bugs + + - The Purge Button doesn't work -- yet + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + +:endentry +********************************************************************* + + + + + + |
