Each line contains the name of the format +(e\&.g\&., ``tex\'\', ``latex\'\', ``omega\'\'), the name of the engine that +is used by that format (e\&.g\&., ``tex\'\', ``etex\'\', ``omega\'\'), the pattern +file (e\&.g\&., \fIlanguage\&.dat\fP, \fIlanguage\&.def\fP), and any +arguments (name of an \fI\&.ini\fP file)\&. +.PP +Fields are separated by whitespace\& and complete lines can be commented +out with ``#\'\'\&. The ``pattern file\'\' field cannot be used to +define a file that is used while building the format\&. +It tells \fBfmtutil\fP which files (separated by commas) the +format creation procedure reads\& and it has an effect to the options +\fI--showhyphen\fP and \fI--byhyphen\fP\&. +If the format has no way to +customize hyphenation, a ``-\'\' can be used to indicate this\&. +.PP +.SH "NOTES" +.PP +The \fBtex\fP(1) and \fBamstex\fP(1) formats always load +\fIhyphen\&.tex\fP\&. No customization by a pattern file is available +for these formats\&. Therefore, the pattern-file field for the +\fBtex\fP and \fBamstex\fP is usually indicated to be empty (``-\'\')\&. +.PP +You can, however, build customized formats on top of plain +\fBtex\fP(1) or \fBamstex\fP(1) by using \fIbplain\&.tex\fP instead of +\fIplain\&.tex\fP (b for the \fIBabel\fP system).
