+.SH NAME
+hishrink\- translating ASCII HINT files to binary files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B hishrink
+.RI [ options ]
+.RI [ file ]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Shrinking converts an ASCII HINT file, usually with the extension 
+.BR .hint ,
+into a binary HINT file, with the extension
+.BR .hnt .
+.PP
+The ASCII based HINT file format - also called `long' format - is optimized
+for readability. It can be edited using a text editor. Hence it allows
+simple modifications that would be difficult to achieve when using the binary
+format. It is also convenient when debugging.
+.PP
+The binary HINT file format - also called `short' format - is optimized
+for displaying HINT files. It can be parsed equally well in forward
+and backward direction to enable fast forward or backward navigation in the file.
+.PP
+The binary HINT file format is designed for on-screen reading of documents. 
+Using a HINT viewer to display a HINT file, its content will dynamically
+adapt to the available display area. For complete information on the
+HINT file format and programs to view HINT files, see
+.BR  https://hint.userweb.mwn.de .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+This version of 
+.B hishrink
+understands the following command line options:
+.TP
+.B -a
+Use only the localized names for auxiliary files as explained in the
+.B FILES
+section below.
+
+If you know that the auxiliary files can be found using the localized names,
+for example after creating them with 
+.B histretch
+using the 
+.B -a
+option, you can use 
+.B hishrink
+with the 
+.B -a
+option to limit the search for the auxiliar files.
+If you are unsure, you should use neither the 
+.B -a
+nor the
+.B -g
+option.
+.B hishrink
+will then search for auxiliar files first using the localized path names 
+and then using the path names as given.
+.TP
+.B -c
+Enable the use of compression for the HINT file. Compressed files are
+smaller but require decompression when viewing. Use only for large
+files if the file size matters.
+.TP
+.BI -d \ bitmask
+Sets HINT file debugging flags according to the 
+.IR bitmask .
+Use the
+.B --help
+option for details.
+.TP
+.B -g
+Do not use the localized names for auxiliary files as explained in the
+.B FILES
+section below.
+
+You may use this option if you know that all auxiliar files
+are at the locations described by the path names stored in the HINT file.
+If you are unsure, you should use neither the 
+.B -g
+nor the
+.B -a
+option.
+.B hishrink
+will then search for auxiliar files first using the localized path names 
+and then using the path names as given.
+.TP
+.B --help
+Print help message and exit.
+.TP
+.B -l
+Redirect standard error to a log file. The name of the log file is derived from
+the name of the input file replacing the extension
+.B .hint
+by the extension
+.BR .log .
+.TP
+.BI -o \ name
+Use
+.I name
+for the output file instead of deriving it from the name of the input file.
+Append the extension
+.B .hnt
+if the
+.I name
+does not already has that extension.
+.TP
+.B --version
+Print version information and exit.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH FILES
+Binary HINT files must contain all resources necessary to display the file,
+for example font and image files.  These files are called auxiliary files.
+ASCII HINT files contain only the path names of these files.
+
+When creating a binary HINT file from an ASCII HINT file, it is
+necessary to find these files, read them, and include them in the binary output file.
+When creating an ASCII HINT file from a binary HINT file, it is
+convenient if these files can be extracted and written to the file system.
+To avoid clobbering arbitrary directories with files when extracting auxiliary 
+files, it is possible to map the path names as stored in the HINT file
+to 
+.B localized
+path names before writing or reading auxiliar files.
+
+When computing a localized path name from a given path name,
+a distinction is made between global resources,
+like fonts, that are referenced by an absolute path name, and local
+resources, for example an image, that are referenced by a relative
+path name. The directory that starts the localized path name of the former 
+has the extension
+.B .abs
+and for the latter the extension
+.BR .rel 
+is used.
+To keep auxiliary files in these subdirectories even if their path
+contains links to a parent directory, parent links
+.RB ` .. ' 
+are replaced by
+.RB ` __ '
+links to subdirectories.
+
+For example,
+given an input file 
+.BR paper.hint,
+the global resources are stored in the
+.B paper.abs
+directory and local resources are stored in 
+.BR paper.rel .
+An absolute path like
+.B /usr/share/fonts/
+will then map to the localized path
+.BR paper.abs/usr/share/fonts/ 
+and a relative path like
+.B ../image/img1.jpg
+will then map to the localized path
+.BR paper.rel/__/image/img1.jpg .

+.BR  https://hint.userweb.mwn.de .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+This version of 
+.B histretch
+understands the following command line options:
+.TP
+.B -a
+Write auxiliar files to disk using the localized path names as explained in the
+.B FILES
+section below.
+
+Use this option if you are stretching a HINT file that you later want
+to shrink back to its binary format unless you know that you have
+already all the auxiliary files contained in it. 
+.TP
+.BI -d \ bitmask
+Sets HINT file debugging flags according to the 
+.IR bitmask .
+See the
+.B --help
+option for details.
+.TP
+.B -f
+Force the replacement of existing auxiliary files. 
+Use this option together with the
+.B -g
+or 
+.B -a
+option to make sure that already exiting auxiliary files are replaced by the
+auxiliary files contained in the HINT file.
+
+.BR WARNING :
+This is a dangerous option especially together with the
+.B -g
+option. Never use it on a HINT file of unknown
+origin. It will possibly replace any file on your machine you have
+write access to.  If in doubt, don't use the
+.B -f
+option.
+.TP
+.B -g
+Write auxiliar files to disk using the path names as stored in the HINT file.
+This option is an alternative to the 
+.B -a
+option and takes precedence if given. 
+If in doubt, don't use the
+.B -g
+option.
+If you just want to stretch the HINT file, then edit it, and then shrink
+it back to the binary format, you should use the 
+.B -a
+option. 
+
+You may use this option if you are stretching a HINT file on the same machine and in
+the same directory where you have created the HINT file. Then all files
+will be copied to the location they came from in case they were deleted
+in the meantime.
+
+If you are stretching a HINT file on one machine and the file was created
+on a different machine, 
+.B histretch 
+will try to copy an auxiliary file
+into the same directory that was used when the HINT file was created, provided that 
+you have the necessary writing rights. 
+This is probably where you want the auxiliary file assuming that both machines have the
+same directory structure.
+
+.BR WARNING :
+This is a dangerous option especially together with the
+.B -f
+option. Never use it on a HINT file of unknown
+origin. It can possibly write (and replace) any file on your machine where you have
+write access.
+.TP
+.B --help
+Print help message and exit.
+.TP
+.B -l
+Redirect standard error to a log file. The name of the log file is derived from
+the name of the input file replacing the extension
+.B .hnt
+by the extension
+.BR .log .
+.TP
+.BI -o \ name
+Use
+.I name
+for the output file instead of deriving it from the name of the input file.
+Append the extension
+.B .hint
+if the
+.I name
+does not already has that extension.
+.TP
+.B -u
+Enable the use of UTF8 character codes. 
+Without this option, the output file is a pure ASCII file, because character codes
+outside the ASCII range are written using their numeric representation.
+With this option, the file will always represent printable characters using their UTF8 
+character codes. This might make the output file more readable if displayed 
+using an UTF8 enabled program; but it might be less readable if displayed
+by a program that does not handle UTF8 characters properly. See also the
+.B -x
+option.
+.TP
+.B --version
+Print version information and exit.
+.TP
+.B -x
+Enable the use of hexadecimal character codes.
+Without this option, characters that are not represented using their
+character codes are represented using a decimal representation of 
+the character code. With this option a hexadecimal representation is used.
+The range of character codes that have a numeric representation includes
+the non printable characters (character codes smaller than 32)
+and unless the 
+.B -u
+option is given, the character codes with a value of 127 and above.

+.RI [ file | \fB\e\fPcommands ]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Run the Hi\*(TX typesetter on
+.IR file ,
+usually creating
+.IR file.hnt .
+If the file argument has no extension, ".tex" will be appended to it. 
+Instead of a file name, a set of Hi\*(TX commands can be given, the first
+of which must start with a backslash.
+With a 
+.BI & format
+argument Hi\*(TX uses a different set of precompiled commands,
+contained in
+.IR format\fB.fmt\fP ;
+it is usually better to use the
+.B -fmt
+.I format
+option instead.
+.PP
+Hi\*(TX is a version of \*(TX that creates HINT files. 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 dynamically adapt to the
+available display area.
+.PP
+The typical use of Hi\*(TX is with pre generated 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 -compress
+Enable the use of compression for the HINT file. Compressed files are
+smaller but require decompression when viewing. Use only for large
+files if the file size matters.
+.TP
+.B -empty-page
+When writing books, often empty pages are inserted - for example to
+begin chapters on a right hand side page. These empty pages are
+a nuisance for on-screen reading where there are no left or right
+hand side pages. This option keeps empty pages in the output.
+.TP
+.B -no-empty-page
+This option tries to eliminate empty pages in the output. It is set as a default.
+.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
+.BI -hint-debug \ bitmask
+Sets HINT file debugging flags according to the 
+.IR bitmask .
+See the
+.B -hint-debug-help
+option for details.
+.TP
+.B -hint-debug-help
+Print an explanation of the HINT debugging flags and exit.
+.TP
+.B -hyphenate-first-word
+\*(TX will usually not attempt to insert hyphenation points into the first 
+word of a paragraph. If a HINT file must be displayed on a very small device
+such hyphenation points might prove necessary. This option is set by default
+and enables the generation of these hyphenation points.
+.TP
+.B -no-hyphenate-first-word
+Disable the automatic insertion of hyphenation points in the first word
+of a paragraph. Needed only if complete compatibility with \*(TX is required.
+.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 -mfmode \ mode
+Use
+.I mode
+as the \*(MF 
+.I mode
+when generating missing fonts. See 
+.BR mf (1)
+for details.
+.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

+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
+.BI -resolution \ number
+When using \*(MF to generate missing pk fonts, use a resolution of

+utility can be used to query the values of the variables.
+.PP
+One caveat: In most Hi\*(TX formats, you cannot use ~ in a file name you
+give directly to Hi\*(TX, because ~ is an active character in \*(TX,
+and hence is expanded, not taken as part of the file name. 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
+creation date and as the reference moment for the time related 
+primitives of \*(LX. 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

+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH NOTES
+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"
+Further information can be found in the  manual of the
+.I "Kpathsea library" 
+and in
+.I "HINT: The file format"
+which is available as a book or in electronic form from the 
+HINT project home page at 
+.BR https://hint.userweb.mwn.de .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.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.
+.PP
+The Hi\*(TX home page is at 
+.BR https://hint.userweb.mwn.de .
+There you find additional software, most importantly viewers for HINT files,
+and further information.

+.B twill
+.RB [ \-x ]
+.IR webfile [ \fB.web\fP ]
+.RI [ changefile [ \fB.ch\fP ]]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B twill
+program is used to create a \*(TX file for viewing a \*(WB program.
+It takes appropriate care of typographic details like page
+layout and the use of indentation, italics, boldface, etc., and it supplies
+extensive cross-index information in the form of 'mini-indexes' for each
+spread of pages and a 'master index' at the end that it gathers automatically.
+.PP
+The command line arguments are the same as for
+.B tangle
+except for the option:
+.B \-x
+says to omit the indexes, module name list, and table of contents pages.
+(A
+.I CONTENTS.tex
+file will still be written when the \*(TX file is processed,
+however, unless some macros in
+.I webmac.tex
+are redefined.)
+.PP
+The output \*(TX file name is formed by adding
+.B .tex
+to the root of the \*(WB file name.
+.PP
+There are several macros
+that probably should be redefined by
+the programmer at the beginning of the \*(WB file.
+It is a good idea to set \\title
+to the name of the program.
+And, to cause output of only changed modules, one can say
+\\let\\maybe=\\iffalse (usually as the first change in the
+change file).
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The environment variable WEBINPUTS is used to search for the input files,
+or the system default if WEBINPUTS is not set.  See
+.BR tex (1)
+for the details of the searching.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH FILES
