Worse, some Plain TeX +command names appear in LaTeX, with different semantics. As a +result, special measures need to be taken to allow general Plain TeX +documents (or parts of documents) to be typeset within LaTeX. +<p/>The truly reliable way is to translate the Plain TeX commands, to +produce an equivalent of the original’s semantics. However, this is +not practical in many circumstances, and for those occasions, the +<i>plain</i> package will often come to your aid. The package +defines a <code>plain</code> environment, in which a Plain TeX +document may be processed: +<blockquote> +<pre> +\begin{plain} + \input{plain-doc} +\end{plain} +</pre> +</blockquote><p> +The package is known to fail, for example, with documents that use +AMSTeX; no doubt it would also fail if asked to load Eplain. +All these things can be overcome (although it’s not often easy), but +the environment saves a lot of work on many occasions. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>plain.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle.zip">macros/latex/contrib/carlisle</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p/><p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=inclplain">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=inclplain</a> +</body> |
