+ <head>Introduction</head>
+
+ <p>This documents is based on a note by FC describing his
+ experience installing JadeTeX with OpenJade 1.3 and teTeX 1.06
+ (on Unix). It has since been expanded and checked by SR and
+ SP. It is aimed to people who have perhaps some experience
+ using TeX and LaTeX, enough to write up technical reports
+ using simple macros, but know little or nothing about format
+ files or the particulars of the TeX distribution structure,
+ and consequently have a rough time with JadeTeX&#8230;</p>
+ <p>This document relates to JadeTeX version 2.11 or later.</p>
+
+ <p>To use JadeTeX, you first of all should compile and install
+ OpenJade. The resulting <name>openjade</name> executable, used
+ with the <Value>-t tex</Value> flag, will format an
+ SGML/XML file and yield a TeX output file. Using
+ <name>jadetex</name> or <name>pdfjadetex</name>, you can
+ transform this into DVI or PDF;
+ from DVI, you can use a program like
+ <name>dvips</name> to get PostScript output. This note describes
+ how to build and install the former two programs,
+ <name>jadetex</name> and <name>pdfjadetex</name>.</p>
+ </div>
+
+ <div>
+ <head>Increasing TeX capacities</head>
+
+ <p>The TeX output file uses a macro package, JadeTeX, built on
+ top of LaTeX, just as LaTeX is a macro package sitting on top of
+ plain TeX. It is probably possible to just stick an
+ <Input>\input</Input> at the top of your
+ <Filespec>.tex</Filespec> file and use the JadeTeX macros this
+ way, but that would be slow since TeX would need to parse and
+ compile the macro definitions every time you format your
+ <Filespec>.tex</Filespec> file. So what we do instead is to use
+ TeX (actually, <name>initex</name>) to read in the LaTeX
+ format, followed by the JadeTeX package, once, and dump the
+ compiled image to what is called a <q>format file.</q>
+ This is the same way that LaTeX is usually employed. Once the
+ format file is built and installed, it is easy to arrange for
+ TeX to read it in quickly and automatically when you process a
+ <Filespec>.tex</Filespec> file.</p>
+
+ <p>But, as ever, there are complications, relating to TeX's
+ capacity restrictions. TeX is designed to use a fixed amount
+ of resources to process documents; for example, there is a
+ maximum number of strings that can be allocated, and a maximum
+ stack size. If a processing run exceeds the default limits,
+ TeX will complain and refuse to continue. Unfortunately,
+ OpenJade's TeX backend tends to exceed these default
+ limits.</p>
+
+ <p>Fortunately, though, there is no need to recompile your TeX
+ binary. If you are using teTeX (or any other Web2c-based
+ distribution) there will be a file called
+ <Filespec>texmf.cnf</Filespec> in your installation which sets
+ the capacity parameters and is consulted every time TeX is
+ run. By adding the right parameter settings here, you can
+ ensure that JadeTeX will be unlikely to run out of memory.</p>
+
+ <p>Where is <Filespec>texmf.cnf</Filespec>? You can find it in the
+ <Filespec>web2c</Filespec> directory under
+ your <Filespec>texmf</Filespec> tree... which begs the question, where
+ is <Filespec>texmf</Filespec>? The most
+ straightforward way to find it is to make sure all the TeX executables
+ are in your <Filespec>PATH</Filespec>; then do:
+ <Input>kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXMFMAIN'</Input>
+<Output>/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf</Output>
+ and it will
+ respond with the location of your texmf tree. As you can see, it is also
+ known as <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN</Filespec>, which is how I shall
+ refer to it in the sequel.</p>
+
+ <p> If for some reason <name>kpsewhich</name> is not in your
+ <Filespec>PATH</Filespec>,
+ and you don't know where it is, here are some likely locations:
+ <list>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/share/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/local/share/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/local/teTeX/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/local/lib/teTeX/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/local/lib/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/lib/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ <item><Filespec>/usr/lib/teTeX/texmf</Filespec></item>
+ </list></p>
+
+ <p>In a minute we are going to modify <Filespec>texmf.cnf</Filespec> to
+ increase the capacities, then build the JadeTeX format file and install
+ the JadeTeX executable(s). You may have a command
+ <name>hugelatex</name>, a version of latex with greater
+ capacity settings than the usual one, which is named simply
+ <name>latex</name>. If so, build your format file
+ using <name>hugelatex</name> rather than
+ <name>latex</name>, so that JadeTeX inherits the `huge'
+ settings. Otherwise, make sure your latex is big.
+ In addition, if you make any changes to the literate source of the
+ JadeTeX macro package (see below), a normal <name>latex</name>
+ may not do.</p>
+
+ <p>First we need to update texmf.cnf to ensure that
+ <name>latex</name> really is
+ <emph>huge</emph>. Take a look at the top of the file.
+It will probably say:
+<Program
+>%original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
+% (If you change or delete `original' on the previous line, the
+% distribution won't install its version over yours.)
+</Program>
+If it says
+<Program
+>% TeX Live texmf.cnf
+</Program>
+then you can skip all this and proceed to the next section, as TeX
+ Live is already set up for JadeTeX</p>
+
+<p>
+ If you have an `original', follow those directions and delete the string
+ <Input>original</Input> to ensure that
+ future upgrades won't obliterate your changes.</p>
+
+ <p>In the latter half of the file, you will find the capacity settings,
+ which look something like this:
+
+ <Program
+>pool_size = 125000
+pool_size.context = 750000</Program>
+
+ Here, <Input>pool_size</Input> is the name of the parameter in
+ both cases, but the second one is qualified with
+ <Input>.context</Input>, which indicates that this setting will be
+ preferred when using the ConTeXt macro package. We need to make similar
+ accomodations not only for <name>latex</name> but also
+ <name>jadetex</name> and <name>pdfjadetex</name>.
+ Unfortunately, we don't know the minimal required values for every
+ parameter and some of these values are probably
+ ridiculously high, but no matter ...
+
+ <Program
+>% latex settings
+main_memory.latex = 1100000
+param_size.latex = 1500
+stack_size.latex = 1500

+main_memory.jadetex = 1500000
+param_size.jadetex = 1500

+main_memory.pdfjadetex = 2500000
+param_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
+stack_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
+hash_extra.pdfjadetex = 50000

+save_size.pdfjadetex = 5000
+pool_size.pdfjadetex = 500000
+max_strings.pdfjadetex = 55000
+</Program>
+
+ Add these to the end of the file, or wherever makes you happy.</p>
+
+ <p>Now let's build some format files. Under
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/latex/config</Filespec>,
+ you will find the files necessary to rebuild <name>latex</name>.
+ Copy them somewhere temporary and go there:
+<Screen>
+cp -R /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config /tmp
+cd /tmp/config</Screen>
+
+ Now do this:
+
+ <Screen>tex -ini -progname=latex latex.ini</Screen>
+
+ This will produce a file <Filespec>latex.fmt</Filespec>
+ in the same directory.
+ Become root and put it in
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/web2c</Filespec>. This
+ is where all the format files are kept. (You can delete the other copied
+ files from <Filespec>config</Filespec> afterwards.)
+
+ <Screen>mv latex.fmt /usr/share/texmf/web2c</Screen>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Now just create a symbolic link from <name>tex</name> to
+ <name>latex</name>:
+
+ <Screen>ln -s /usr/bin/tex /usr/local/bin/latex</Screen>
+
+ When <name>tex</name> is invoked, it looks at the name
+ <Filespec>X</Filespec> it was invoked with, then loads the format
+ file <Filespec>X.fmt</Filespec> from
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/web2c</Filespec> before
+ it starts processing the document. So creating this symbolic link is all
+ that is needed to create the <name>latex</name>
+ executable.</p>
+ </div>
+
+ <div>
+ <head>Creating the format files</head>
+ <p>Next, take a look at your OpenJade distribution. Under the directory
+ <Filespec>dsssl</Filespec> you will find the files necessary to build
+ jadetex and pdfjadetex, including a Makefile. Now become root and just do:
+
+ <Screen>make install</Screen>
+
+ This creates <Filespec>jadetex.fmt</Filespec> and
+ <Filespec>pdfjadetex.fmt</Filespec>, puts them in
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/web2c</Filespec> for you
+ (using <name>kpsewhich</name> to find
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN</Filespec>), and installs a few other
+ auxiliary files under
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/jadetex</Filespec>.</p>
+ <p>All that's left to do is to create the links:
+
+ <Screen>ln -s /usr/bin/tex /usr/bin/jadetex
+ln -s /usr/bin/pdftex /usr/bin/pdfjadetex</Screen>
+ (changing the location of the binary directory to wherever your TeX is)
+ and run <name>mktexlsr</name> so that your TeX distribution becomes
+ aware of the newly installed files in
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/jadetex</Filespec>.
+
+ <Screen>mktexlsr</Screen></p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <div>
+ <head>Testing the installation</head>
+ <p>Finally, test your installation using the demonstration files in
+ that directory:
+
+ <Screen>openjade -t tex -d demo.dsl demo.sgm
+jadetex demo.tex
+pdfjadetex demo.tex</Screen>
+
+ You're done!</p>

+<list type="gloss">
+ <label>
+ I installed JadeTeX, but when I run it, it complains that a
+ file named <Filespec>unicode.sty</Filespec> (or
+ <Filespec>dsssl.def</Filespec>, etc) can't be found. What did I do
+ wrong?
+ </label>
+ <item>
+ You didn't run the <name>mktexlsr</name>, so
+ <name>kpathsea</name> doesn't know about the newly installed
+ files.
+ </item>
+
+ <label>
+ I don't like JadeTeX's default behavior in some situations.
+ How do I modify it?
+ </label>
+ <item>
+ If for some reason you want to modify the JadeTeX macro
+ package, modify the file <Filespec>jadetex.dtx</Filespec>. This is
+ the literate source for the format file and other files installed
+ under
+ <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/jadetex</Filespec>.
+ To format it, use <name>latex</name>:
+
+ <Screen>latex jadetex.dtx</Screen>
+
+ You will get tons of overfull hboxes but if you are using a nice
+ big latex, it will work.
+
+ Formatting the batch file <Filespec>jadetex.ins</Filespec>
+ will produce stripped sources
+ (<Filespec>dsssl.def</Filespec> and
+ <Filespec>jadetex.ltx</Filespec>),
+ which can be compiled into format files as before:
+
+ <Screen>latex jadetex.ins
+make -f Makefile.jadetex</Screen>
