The HINT file +format is designed for on-screen reading of documents. Using a HINT +viewer (see +.BR https://hint.userweb.mwn.de ) +to display a HINT file its content will dynamicaly adapt to the +available display area. +.PP +The typical use of Hi\*(TX is with pregenerated formats. +The +.B hitex +command uses the equivalent of the plain \*(TX format, and the +.B hilatex +command uses the equivalent of the \*(LX format. +To generate formats, use the +.B -ini +switch. +.PP +Hi\*(TX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of +of the other \*(TX programs in the +.I web2c +implementation. +.PP +Hi\*(TX incorporates the e-\*(TX +extensions (see +.BR etex (1)) +if used with the +.B -etex +switch. +.PP +Hi\*(TX incorporates the extensions needed for \*(LX +(see +.BR latex (1)) +if used with the +.B -ltx +switch. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH OPTIONS +This version of Hi\*(TX understands the following command line options. +.TP +.BI -cnf-line \ string +Parse +.I string +as a +.I texmf.cnf +configuration line. See the Kpathsea manual. +.TP +.B -etex +Enable the e-\*(TX extensions. This option is only effective in +combination with +.BR -ini . +See +.BR etex (1). +.TP +.B -file-line-error +Print error messages in the form +.I file:line:error +which is similar to the way many compilers format them. +.TP +.B -no-file-line-error +Disable printing error messages in the +.I file:line:error +style. +.TP +.BI -fmt \ format +Use +.I format +as the name of the format to be used, instead of the name by which +Hi\*(TX was called or a +.I %& +line. +.TP +.B -help +Print help message and exit. +.TP +.B -ini +Start in +.I INI +mode, which is used to dump formats. The +.I INI +mode can be used for typesetting, but no format is preloaded, and +basic initializations like setting catcodes may be required. +.TP +.BI -interaction \ mode +Sets the interaction mode. The mode can be either +.IR batchmode , +.IR nonstopmode , +.IR scrollmode , +and +.IR errorstopmode . +The meaning of these modes is the same as that of the corresponding +\ecommands. +.TP +.BI -jobname \ name +Use +.I name +for the job name, instead of deriving it from the name of the input file. +.TP +.BI -kpathsea-debug \ bitmask +Sets path searching debugging flags according to the bitmask. See the +.I Kpathsea +manual for details. +.TP +.B -ltx +Enable the \*(LX extensions. This option is only effective in +combination with +.BR -ini . +See +.BR latex (1). +.TP +.BI -mktex \ fmt +Enable +.RI mktex fmt , +where +.I fmt +must be either +.IR tex , +.IR tfm , +.IR fmt , +or +.IR pk . +.TP +.BI -no-mktex \ fmt +Disable +.RI mktex fmt , +where +.I fmt +must be either +.IR tex , +.IR tfm , +.IR fmt , +or +.IR pk . +.TP +.BI -output-directory \ directory +Write output files in +.I directory +instead of the current directory. Look up input files in +.I directory +first, then along the normal search path. +.TP +.B -parse-first-line +If the first line of the main input file begins with +.I %& +parse it to look for a dump name. +.TP +.B -no-parse-first-line +Disable parsing of the first line of the main input file. +.TP +.BI -progname \ name +Pretend to be program +.IR name . +This affects both the format used and the search paths. +.TP +.B -version +Print version information and exit. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH ENVIRONMENT +See the Kpathsea library documentation (e.g., the `Path specifications' +node) for precise details of how the environment variables are used. +The +.B kpsewhich +utility can be used to query the values of the variables. +.PP +One caveat: In most Hi\*(TX formats, you cannot use ~ in a filename you +give directly to Hi\*(TX, because ~ is an active character in \*(TX, +and hence is expanded, not taken as part of the filename. Other +programs, such as \*(MF, do not have this problem. +.PP +.TP +.B TEXMFOUTPUT +Normally, Hi\*(TX puts its output files in the current directory. If +any output file cannot be opened there, it tries to open it in the +directory specified in the environment variable TEXMFOUTPUT. +There is no default value for that variable. For example, if you say +.I hitex paper +and the current directory is not writable and TEXMFOUTPUT has +the value +.IR /tmp , +Hi\*(TX attempts to create +.I /tmp/paper.log +(and +.IR /tmp/paper.hnt , +if any output is produced.) TEXMFOUTPUT is also checked for input +files, as \*(TX often generates files that need to be subsequently +read; for input, no suffixes (such as ``.tex'') are added by default, +the input name is simply checked as given. +.TP +.B TEXINPUTS +Search path for +.I \einput +and +.I \eopenin +files. +This normally starts with ``.'', so +that user files are found before system files. An empty path +component will be replaced with the paths defined in the +.I texmf.cnf +file. For example, set TEXINPUTS to ".:/home/user/tex:" to prepend the +current directory and ``/home/user/tex'' to the standard search path. +.TP +.B TEXFORMATS +Search path for format files. +.TP +.B TFMFONTS +Search path for font metric +.RI ( .tfm ) +files. +.TP +.B SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH +If set, its value, taken to be in epoch-seconds, will be used for the +timestamps in the PDF output, such as the CreationDate and ModDate keys. +This is useful for making reproducible builds. +.TP +.B FORCE_SOURCE_DATE +If set to the value "1", the time-related \*(TX primitives +.RI ( \eyear , +.IR \emonth , +.IR \eday , +.IR \etime ) +are also initialized from the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. This is not +recommended if there is any viable alternative. +.PP +Many, many more environment variables may be consulted related to path +searching. See the Kpathsea manual. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH FILES +The location of the files mentioned below varies from system to +system. Use the +.B kpsewhich +utility to find their locations. +.TP +.I *.tfm +Metric files for Hi\*(TX's fonts. +.TP +.I *.fmt +Predigested Hi\*(TX format (.\|fmt) files. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH NOTES +.\"===================================================================== +.SH BUGS +This version of Hi\*(TX fails to handle correctly glues and kerns with a +width that depends on \ehsize or \evsize. Similarly, when +the layout of table entries or mathematical formulas depends on \ehsize +or \evsize their output might be distorted. +.\"===================================================================== +.SH AVAILABILITY +Hi\*(TX should compile on a large variety of machine architectures +and operating systems. +Hi\*(TX is part of the \*(TX Live distribution. +.br +The Hi\*(TX home page: https://hint.userweb.mwn.de +.\"===================================================================== +.SH "SEE ALSO" +This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete +documentation for Hi\*(TX can be found in the +.IR "Hi\*(TX user manual" +and the manual of the +.IR "Kpathsea library" . +.PP +Related programs: +.BR histretch (1), +.BR hishrink (1), +.BR latex (1), +.BR tex (1), +.\"===================================================================== +.SH AUTHORS +The primary author of Hi\*(TX is Martin Ruckert, +with e\*(TX extensions by Peter Breitenlohner, +\*LX extensions by Thierry Laronde, and +the kpathsearch library by Karl Berry. +.PP +\*(TX was designed by Donald E. Knuth, +who implemented it using his \*(WB system for Pascal programs. +It was ported to Unix at Stanford by Howard Trickey, and +at Cornell by Pavel Curtis. +.\" vim: syntax=nroff |
