The current version number is at the beginning and +end of eplain.tex, among other places. + +See INSTALL for installation and basic usage hints. + +eplain.tex is the macros. This file is generated (by the Unix shell +script merge) from xeplain.tex, btxmac.tex, arrow.tex, and other files. +Unless you are hacking the macros, you should have no need to regenerate +the file; just use the one that's provided. If you do regenerate it, +you will need a date program which understands the %B format (GNU date does). + +doc/eplain.texi and other .texi files in the doc directory describe the +features currently provided. If you think of additional features that +would be useful, or extensions to existing ones, see email below. + +doc/eplain.info is the Info file resulting from doc/eplain.texi and +other .texi files in the doc directory, which GNU Emacs and GNU Info +can read. You'll need makeinfo, from the GNU Texinfo distribution, to +process it, if you happen to need to. Here is the line I added to the +dir file, in the top-level Emacs info directory: + * Eplain: (eplain). Expansions to plain TeX. +See http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo for more information about Texinfo. + +The files in the test subdirectory are of course for testing of various +features, but also provide some examples of usage. + +The util subdirectory contains some useful scripts to help with "see" +and "see also" index entries, and making index entries with +hyperlinks. + +You can get the current development sources for Eplain via CVS from +sarovar, http://sarovar.org/projects/eplain. + +Most of these macros, like most of the manual, are in the public domain. +The exceptions are the commutative diagram macros (the file arrow.tex) +and the documentation for them (the file doc/arrow.texi). Both of +arrow.tex and doc/arrow.texi are under the GNU General Public +License (see the file headers for details). + +Eplain was developed as part of the book TeX for the Impatient, +published by Addison-Wesley in 1990. It is now freely available, from +http://tug.org/ftp/tex/impatient, with a free French translation. + +Eplain is currently maintained by Oleg Katsitadze. + +email: bug-eplain@tug.org +www: http://www.tug.org/eplain |
