Before reading this file, you should read +`install.txt', which will explain how the LaTeX installation works. + +This file describes: + + * How to create the LaTeX format with MLTeX. + + * How to use MLTeX with LaTeX. + + + +CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT +========================= + +To create the LaTeX format, you should follow the standard LaTeX +installation guide. + + - Do NOT include any MLTeX specific file into your LaTeX format! + + - Do NOT use the obsolete files `compatible.tex', `extdef.tex', + `masthyph.tex', or any other file from the old MLTeX distribution! + + - Depending on your TeX implementation there is either a special + version of the `initex' program provided which is called `mlinitex', + `initex -mltex', or `tex -ini -mltex'. + Use this program resp. command line options when creating the LaTeX + format. + +As a result your LaTeX format file `latex.fmt' should not contain any +MLTeX specific definitions or declarations. + + + +USING THE MLTeX EXTENSION +========================= + +To enable the MLTeX extension, you simply use the standard LaTeX +package `fontenc' with the MLTeX font encoding LO1 instead of OT1, +e.g. replace + + \usepackage[T1,OT1]{fontenc} + +by + + \usepackage[T1,LO1]{fontenc} + +which will choose LO1 as the default font encoding. If you want to +choose another default font encoding, you can switch to LO1 by + + \fontencoding{LO1}\selectfont + +within your document. Nonetheless you have to declare the new font +encoding `LO1' by loading it using the package `fontenc'. + +For LaTeX's font encoding OT1 the associated MLTeX font encoding is +provided with a basic set of fd files. This font encoding is called +LO1 (for M_L_TeX's _O_T1) and is a superset of OT1. + + +Another simpler way to use this MLTeX extended font encoding is +provided by the package `mltex'. By including + + \usepackage{mltex} + +in the document preamble all references to OT1 will get replaced by +LO1. If you don't want to hide OT1 totally, you can select LO1 as +usual default font encoding by using the package option `switchonly', +e.g. by including + + \usepackage[switchonly]{mltex} + +in the document preamble. + + +--- Copyright (C) 1996-1998 Bernd Raichle.
