The GitHub repository + +- https://github.com/texjporg/platex + +is now maintained by [Japanese TeX Development Community](http://texjp.org). + +The original ASCII edition can be obtained from: + +- http://ascii.asciimw.jp/pb/ptex/ + +## Changes from the original ASCII edition + +See the documents (platex.pdf, pldoc.pdf, platexrelease.pdf) for more information. + +- Fix macros which are inconsistent with the latest e-pTeX + (e.g. \footnote, tabular, \parbox, \underline). +- Fix several bugs in pLaTeX2e and ascmac.sty. +- Add platexrelease.sty. As with the latexrelease package, this + package enables us to use the old versions of pLaTeX2e (from + 2006/11/10 the ASCII edition). + +## Documentation + +A brief exposition of pLaTeX2e is provided in platex.pdf. +The document can be obtained by executing the following commands: + +~~~~ + platex platex.dtx + dvipdfmx platex.dvi +~~~~ + +The comprehensive explanation of pLaTeX2e source is included in +pldoc.pdf.
