The <i>README</i> -of the distribution is actual a Unix-type man-page output, and shows -great attention to the details of the document production process. -<p/>The <i>mk</i> (also, apparently, known as <i>latex_maker</i>) -is a Ruby script for the task in hand; it works well with another of -the author’s scripts script called <i>vpp</i> (View and Print -PostScript/PDF). -<p/>Windows users of the MiKTeX system may use that system’s -<i>texify</i> application. <i>Texify</i> deals with basic -LaTeX features, including generating a bibliography and an index; -it makes no claim to deal with other things (such as multiple -bibliographies or indexes, or lists of terminology, etc.), which -AutoLaTeX can be configured to process. -<p/>The <a href="FAQ-texinfo.html"><i>texinfo</i> system</a> comes with a similar -utility called <i>texi2dvi</i>, which is capable of “converting” -either LaTeX or <i>texinfo</i> files into DVI (or into -PDF, using PDFTeX). -<p/>A later contribution is the bundle <i>latexmake</i>, which -offers a set of <i>make</i> rules that invoke <i>texi2dvi</i> -as necessary. -<p/>The curious may examine the rules employed to run the present -FAQ through LaTeX: we don’t present them as a complete -solution, but some of the tricks employed are surely re-usable. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>AutoLaTeX</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/autolatex.zip">support/autolatex</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/autolatex/">browse the directory</a>) -<dt><tt><i>FAQ distribution</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/uk-tex-faq.zip">help/uk-tex-faq</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/uk-tex-faq/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/uk-tex-faq.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>latexmake</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latexmake.zip">support/latexmake</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latexmake/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/latexmake.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>latex-make</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latex-make.zip">support/latex-make</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latex-make/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/latex-make.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>latex_make</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latex_maker.zip">support/latex_maker</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latex_maker/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/mk.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>latexmk</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latexmk.zip">support/latexmk</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latexmk/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/latexmk.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>texi2dvi</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/texinfo/texinfo.zip">macros/texinfo/texinfo</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/texinfo/texinfo/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/texinfo.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=make">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=make</a> -</body> |
