Particular -problems arise with spaces in file names, but things like multiple -period characters can seriously confuse the <i>graphics</i> -package. -<p/>The specification of TeX leaves some leeway for distributions to -adopt file access appropriate to their operating system, but this -hasn’t got us very far. Many modern distributions allow you to -specify a file name as <code>"file name.tex"</code> (for example), which -helps somewhat, but while this allows us to say -<blockquote> -<pre> -\input "foo bar.tex" -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -the analogous usage -<blockquote> -<pre> -\includegraphics{"gappy graphics.eps"} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -using “ordinary” LaTeX causes confusion in <i>xdvi</i> and -<i>dvips</i>, even though it works at compilation time. Sadly, -even within such quotes, multiple dots give <code>\</code><code>includegraphics</code> -difficulties. Note that -<blockquote> -<pre> -\includegraphics{"gappy graphics.pdf"} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -works in a similar version of PDFTeX. -<p/>If you’re using the <i>graphics</i> package, the <i>grffile</i> -package will help. The package offers several options, the simplest -of which are <code>multidot</code> (allowing more than one dot in a -file name) and <code>space</code> (allowing space in a file name). The -<code>space</code> option requires that you’re running on a -sufficiently recent version of PDFTeX, in PDF mode — and -even then it won’t work for MetaPost files, which are read as TeX -input, and therefore use the standard input mechanism). -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>grffile.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.zip">macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/grffile.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=grffilenames">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=grffilenames</a> -</body> |
