By -"TeX implementation", we mean all of the standard programs developed by -the Stanford TeX project directed by Donald E. Knuth: Metafont, -DVItype, GFtoDVI, BibTeX, Tangle, etc., as well as TeX itself. Other -programs are also included: DVIcopy, written by Peter Breitenlohner, -MetaPost and its utilities (derived from Metafont), by John Hobby, etc. - - General strategy: Web2c works, as its name implies, by translating -the WEB source in which TeX is written into C source code. Its output is -not self-contained, however; it makes extensive use of many macros and -functions in a library (the `web2c/lib' directory in the sources). -Therefore, it will not work without change on an arbitrary WEB program. - - Availability: All of Web2c is freely available--"free" both in the -sense of no cost (free ice cream) and of having the source code to -modify and/or redistribute (free speech). *Note unixtex.ftp: -(kpathsea)unixtex.ftp, for the practical details of how to obtain Web2c. - - Different parts of the Web2c distribution have different licensing -terms, however, reflecting the different circumstances of their -creation; consult each source file for exact details. The main -practical implication for redistributors of Web2c is that the -executables are covered by the GNU General Public License, and -therefore anyone who gets a binary distribution must also get the -sources, as explained by the terms of the GPL (*note Copying: -(kpathsea)Copying.). The GPL covers the Web2c executables, including -`tex', because the Free Software Foundation sponsored the initial -development of the Kpathsea library that Web2c uses. The basic source -files from Stanford, however, have their own copyright terms or are in -the public domain, and are not covered by the GPL. - - History: Tomas Rokicki originated the TeX-to-C system in 1987, -working from the first change files for TeX under Unix, which were done -primarily by Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis. Tim Morgan then took over -development and maintenance for a number of years; the name changed to -Web-to-C somewhere in there. In 1990, Karl Berry became the -maintainer. He made many changes to the original sources, and started -using the shorter name Web2c. In 1997, Olaf Weber took over. Dozens of -other people have contributed; their names are listed in the -`ChangeLog' files. - - Other acknowledgements: The University of Massachusetts at Boston -(particularly Rick Martin and Bob Morris) provided computers and ftp -access to me for many years. Richard Stallman at the Free Software -Foundation employed me while I wrote the original path searching library -(for the GNU font utilities). (rms also gave us Emacs, GDB, and GCC, -without which I cannot imagine developing Web2c.) And, of course, TeX -would not exist in the first place without Donald E. Knuth. - - Further reading: *Note References::. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Installation, Next: Commonalities, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top - -2 Installation -************** - -(A copy of this chapter is in the distribution file `web2c/INSTALL'.) - -Installing Web2c is mostly the same as installing any other -Kpathsea-using program. Therefore, for the basic steps involved, see -*note Installation: (kpathsea)Installation. (A copy is in the file -`kpathsea/INSTALL'.) - - One peculiarity to Web2c is that the source distribution comes in two -files: `web.tar.gz' and `web2c.tar.gz'. You must retrieve and unpack -them both. (We have two because the former archive contains the very -large and seldom-changing original WEB source files.) *Note -unixtex.ftp: (kpathsea)unixtex.ftp. - - Another peculiarity is the MetaPost program. Although it has been -installed previously as `mp', as of Web2c 7.0 the installed name is now -`mpost', to avoid conflict with the `mp' program that does -prettyprinting. This approach was recommended by the MetaPost author, -John Hobby. If you as the TeX administrator wish to make it available -under its shorter name as well, you will have to set up a link or some -such yourself. And of course individual users can do the same. - - For solutions to common installation problems and information on how -to report a bug, see the file `kpathsea/BUGS' (*note Bugs: -(kpathsea)Bugs.). See also the Web2c home page, -`http://www.tug.org/web2c'. - - Points worth repeating: - - * Before starting the standard compilation and installation you must - install the basic fonts, macros, and other library files. *Note - Installation: (kpathsea)Installation. - - * If you do not wish to use the standard file locations, see *note - Changing search paths: (kpathsea)Changing search paths. - - * Some Web2c features are enabled or disabled at `configure' time, - as described in the first section below. - - -* Menu: - -* configure options:: Especially --with and --enable. -* Compile-time options:: Unusual -D's. -* Additional targets:: Breaking down the task. -* Triptrap:: Running the torture tests. -* Runtime options:: Array sizes and the like. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: configure options, Next: Compile-time options, Up: Installation - -2.1 `configure' options -======================= - -This section gives pointers to descriptions of the `--with' and -`--enable' `configure' arguments that Web2c accepts. Some are specific -to Web2c, others are generic to all Kpathsea-using programs. - - For a list of all the options `configure' accepts, run `configure ---help'. The generic options are listed first, and the -package-specific options come last. - - For a description of the generic options (which mainly allow you to -specify installation directories) and basic `configure' usage, see -*note Running `configure' scripts: (autoconf)Invoking configure, a copy -is in the file `kpathsea/CONFIGURE'. - -`--disable-dump-share' - Do not make fmt/base/mem files sharable across different endian - architectures. *Note Hardware and memory dumps::. - -`--without-maketexmf-default' -`--without-maketexpk-default' -`--without-maketextfm-default' -`--with-maketextex-default' - Enable or disable the dynamic generation programs. *Note mktex - configuration: (kpathsea)mktex configuration. The defaults are - the inverse of the options, i.e., everything is enabled except - `mktextex'. - -`--enable-shared' - Build Kpathsea as a shared library. *Note Shared library: - (kpathsea)Shared library. - -`--with-editor=CMD' - Change the default editor invoked by the `e' interactive command. - *Note Editor invocation::. - -`--with-epsfwin' -`--with-hp2627win' -`--with-mftalkwin' -`--with-nextwin' -`--with-regiswin' -`--with-suntoolswin' -`--with-tektronixwin' -`--with-unitermwin' -`--with-x' -`--with-x-toolkit=KIT' -`--with-x11win' -`--with-x11' - Define Metafont graphics support; by default, no graphics support - is enabled. *Note Online Metafont graphics::. - -`--x-includes=DIR' -`--x-libraries=DIR' - Define the locations of the X11 include files and libraries; by - default, `configure' does its best to guess). *Note Optional - Features: (autoconf)Optional Features. A copy is in - `kpathsea/CONFIGURE'. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Compile-time options, Next: Additional targets, Prev: configure options, Up: Installation - -2.2 Compile-time options -======================== - -In addition to the `configure' options listed in the previous section, -there are a few things that can be affected at compile-time with C -definitions, rather than with `configure'. Using any of these is -unusual. - - To specify extra compiler flags (`-DNAME' in this case), the -simplest thing to do is: - make XCFLAGS="CCOPTIONS" - You can also set the `CFLAGS' environment variable before running -`configure'. *Note configure environment: (kpathsea)configure -environment. - - Anyway, here are the possibilities: - -`-DFIXPT' -`-DNO_MF_ASM' - Use the original WEB fixed-point routines for Metafont and MetaPost - arithmetic calculations regarding fractions. By default, - assembly-language routines are used on x86 hardware with GNU C - (unless `NO_MF_ASM' is defined), and floating-point routines are - used otherwise. - -`-DIPC_DEBUG' - Report on various interprocess communication activities. *Note - IPC and TeX: IPC and TeX. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Additional targets, Next: Triptrap, Prev: Compile-time options, Up: Installation - -2.3 Additional targets -====================== - -Web2c has several Make targets besides the standard ones. You can -invoke these either in the top level directory of the source -distribution (the one containing `kpathsea/' and `web2c/'), or in the -`web2c/' directory. - -`c-sources' - Make only the C files, translated from the Web sources, presumably - because you want to take them to a non-Unix machine. - -`formats' -`install-formats' - Make or install all the memory dumps (*note Memory dumps::). By - default, the standard plain formats plus `latex.fmt' are made. You - can add other formats by redefining the `fmts', `bases', and - `mems' variables. See the top of `web2c/Makefile' for the - possibilities. - -`fmts' -`install-fmts' - Make or install the TeX `.fmt' files. *Note Initial TeX::. - -`bases' -`install-bases' - Make or install the Metafont `.base' files. *Note Initial - Metafont::. - -`mems' -`install-mems' - Make or install the MetaPost `.mem' files. *Note Initial - MetaPost::. - -`triptrap' -`trip' -`trap' -`mptrap' - To run the torture tests for TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost - (respectively). See the next section. - - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Triptrap, Next: Runtime options, Prev: Additional targets, Up: Installation - -2.4 Trip, trap, and mptrap: Torture tests -========================================= - -To validate your TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost executables, run `make -triptrap'. This runs the trip, trap, and mptrap "torture tests". See -the files `triptrap/tripman.tex', `triptrap/trapman.tex', and -`triptrap/mptrap.readme' for detailed information and background on the -tests. - - The differences between your executables' behavior and the standard -values will show up on your terminal. The usual differences (these are -all acceptable) are: - - * string usage and table sizes; - - * glue set ratios; - - * `down4', `right4', and `y4' commands in DVItype output; - - * dates and times. - -Any other differences are trouble. The most common culprit in the past -has been compiler bugs, especially when optimizing. *Note TeX or -Metafont failing: (kpathsea)TeX or Metafont failing. - - The files `trip.diffs', `mftrap.diffs', and `mptrap.diffs' in the -`triptrap' directory show the standard diffs against the original -output. If you diff your diffs against these files, you should come up -clean. For example - make trip >&mytrip.diffs - diff triptrap/trip.diffs mytrip.diffs - - To run the tests separately, use the targets `trip', `trap', and -`mptrap'. - - To run simple tests for all the programs as well as the torture -tests, run `make check'. You can compare the output to the distributed -file `tests/check.log' if you like. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Runtime options, Prev: Triptrap, Up: Installation - -2.5 Runtime options -=================== - -Besides the configure- and compile-time options described in the -previous sections, you can control a number of parameters (in -particular, array sizes) in the `texmf.cnf' runtime file read by -Kpathsea (*note Config files: (kpathsea)Config files.). - - Rather than exhaustively listing them here, please see the last -section of the distributed `kpathsea/texmf.cnf'. Some of the more -interesting values: - -`main_memory' - Total words of memory available, for TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost. - Must remake the format file after changing. - -`extra_mem_bot' - Extra space for "large" TeX data structures: boxes, glue, - breakpoints, et al. If you use PiCTeX, you may well want to set - this. - -`font_mem_size' - Words of font info available for TeX; this is approximately the - total size of all TFM files read. - -`hash_extra' - Additional space for the hash table of control sequence names. - Approximately 10,000 control sequences can be stored in the main - hash table; if you have a large book with numerous - cross-references, this might not be enough, and thus you will want - to set `hash_extra'. - - - Of course, ideally all arrays would be dynamically expanded as -necessary, so the only limiting factor would be the amount of swap space -available. Unfortunately, implementing this is extremely difficult, as -the fixed size of arrays is assumed in many places throughout the source -code. These runtime limits are a practical compromise between the -compile-time limits in previous versions, and truly dynamic arrays. (On -the other hand, the Web2c BibTeX implementation does do dynamic -reallocation of some arrays.) - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Commonalities, Next: TeX, Prev: Installation, Up: Top - -3 Commonalities -*************** - -Many aspects of the TeX system are the same among more than one -program, so we describe all those pieces together, here. - -* Menu: - -* Option conventions:: -- or -, = or ` ' for values. -* Common options:: --help --version --verbose, and TeX/MF/MP options. -* Path searching:: Features of the common path searching library. -* Output file location:: TEXMFOUTPUT allows output in places other than `.'. -* Three programs:: TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost have a lot in common. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Option conventions, Next: Common options, Up: Commonalities - -3.1 Option conventions -====================== - -To provide a clean and consistent behavior, we chose to have all these -programs use the GNU function `getopt_long_only' to parse command -lines. However, we do use in a restricted mode, where all the options -have to come before the rest of the arguments. - - As a result, you can: - * use `-' or `--' to start an option name; - - * use any unambiguous abbreviation for an option name; - - * separate option names and values with either `=' or one or more - spaces; - - * use filenames that would otherwise look like options by putting - them after an option `--'. - - By convention, non-option arguments, if specified, generally define -the name of an input file, as documented for each program. - - If a particular option with a value is given more than once, it is -the last value that counts. - - For example, the following command line specifies the options `foo', -`bar', and `verbose'; gives the value `baz' to the `abc' option, and -the value `xyz' to the `quux' option; and specifies the filename -`-myfile-'. - - -foo --bar -verb -abc=baz -quux karl --quux xyz -- -myfile- - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Common options, Next: Path searching, Prev: Option conventions, Up: Commonalities - -3.2 Common options -================== - -All of these programs accept the standard GNU `--help' and `--version' -options, and several programs accept `--verbose'. Rather than writing -identical descriptions for every program, they are described here. - -`--help' - Print a usage message listing basic usage and all available - options to standard output, then exit successfully. - -`--verbose' - Print progress reports to standard output. - -`--version' - Print the version number to standard output, then exit - successfully. - - TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost have a number of additional options in -common: - -`-file-line-error' -`-no-file-line-error' - Change (or do not change) the way error messages are printed. The - alternate style looks like error messages from many compilers and - is easier to parse for some editors that invoke TeX. This option - used to be called `-file-line-error-style'. - -`-fmt=DUMPNAME' -`-base=DUMPNAME' -`-mem=DUMPNAME' - Use DUMPNAME instead of the program name or a `%&' line to - determine the name of the memory dump file read (`fmt' for TeX, - `base' for Metafont, `mem' for MetaPost). *Note Memory dumps::. - Also sets the program name to DUMPNAME if no `-progname' option - was given. - -`-halt-on-error' - Stop processing and exit when an error occurs, as opposed to the - normal process of trying to recover and continue. - -`-ini' - Enable the "initial" form of the program (*note Initial and - virgin::). This is implicitly set if the program name is `initex' - resp. `inimf'. - -`-interaction=STRING' - Set the interaction mode from the command line. The STRING must - be one of `batchmode', `nonstopmode', `scrollmode', or - `errorstopmode'. - -`-jobname=STRING' - Set the job name to STRING, instead of deriving it from the name - of the input file. - -`-kpathsea-debug=NUMBER' - Set path searching debugging flags according to the bits of NUMBER - (*note Debugging: (kpathsea)Debugging.). You can also specify - this in `KPATHSEA_DEBUG' environment variable (for all Web2c - programs). (The command line value overrides.) The most useful - value is `-1', to get all available output. - -`-output-directory=DIRNAME' - Specify the directory DIRNAME to which output files are written. - Also look for input files in DIRNAME first, before looking along - the normal search path. *Note Output file location::. - -`-parse-first-line' -`-no-parse-first-line' - Check or disable checking whether the first line of the main input - file starts with `%&', and parse it if it does. This line can be - used specify the format and/or a TCX file. - -`-progname=STRING' - Set program (and memory dump) name to STRING. This may affect the - search paths and other values used (*note Config files: - (kpathsea)Config files.). Using this option is equivalent to - making a link named STRING to the binary and then invoking the - binary under that name. *Note Memory dumps::. - -`-recorder' - Enable the filename recorder. This makes the program save a list - of the opened files into a file with (by default) extension - `.fls'. For Aleph, this option is always on, and the file has - extension `.ofl'. - - Ordinarily, the `.fls' file is written to the same location as the - `.log' file, for example, respecting `-output-directory' if it is - given (*note Output file location::). However, if TeX processing - is done on the command line (or in response to the `**' prompt), - the `.fls' might be written to the current directory, or include - an integer (the current pid), as in `texput1234.fls'. You can use - `-jobname' to explicitly set the basename. - -`-translate-file=TCXFILE' - Use TCXFILE to define which characters are printable and - translations between the internal and external character sets. - Moreover, TCXFILE can be explicitly declared in the first line of - the main input file `%& -translate-file=TCXFILE'. This is the - recommended method for portability reasons. *Note TCX files::. - -`-8bit' - This option specifies that by default all characters should be - considered printable. If `-translate-file' was given as well, - then the TCX file may mark characters as non-printable. - - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Path searching, Next: Output file location, Prev: Common options, Up: Commonalities - -3.3 Path searching -================== - -All of the Web2c programs, including TeX, which do path searching use -the Kpathsea routines to do so. The precise names of the environment -and configuration file variables which get searched for particular file -formatted are therefore documented in the Kpathsea manual (*note -Supported file formats: (kpathsea)Supported file formats.). Reading -`texmf.cnf' (*note Config files: (kpathsea)Config files.), invoking -`mktex...' scripts (*note mktex scripts: (kpathsea)mktex scripts.), and -so on are all handled by Kpathsea. - - The programs which read fonts make use of another Kpathsea feature: -`texfonts.map', which allows arbitrary aliases for the actual names of -font files; for example, `Times-Roman' for `ptmr8r.tfm'. The -distributed (and installed by default) `texfonts.map' includes aliases -for many widely available PostScript fonts by their PostScript names. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Output file location, Next: Three programs, Prev: Path searching, Up: Commonalities - -3.4 Output file location -======================== - -All the programs generally follow the usual convention for output files. -Namely, they are placed in the directory current when the program is -run, regardless of any input file location; or, in a few cases, output -is to standard output. - - For example, if you run `tex /tmp/foo', for example, the output will -be in `./foo.dvi' and `./foo.log', not `/tmp/foo.dvi' and -`/tmp/foo.log'. - - You can use the `-output-directory' option to cause all output files -that would normally be written in the current directory to be written -in the specified directory instead. *Note Common options::. - - If the current directory is not writable, and `-output-directory' is -not specified, the main programs (TeX, Metafont, MetaPost, and BibTeX) -make an exception: if the config file or environment variable value -`TEXMFOUTPUT' is set (it is not by default), output files are written -to the directory specified. - - `TEXMFOUTPUT' is also checked for input files, as TeX often -generates files that need to be subsequently read; for input, no -suffixes (such as `.tex') are added by default and no exhaustive path -searching is done, the input name is simply checked as given. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Three programs, Prev: Output file location, Up: Commonalities - -3.5 Three programs: Metafont, MetaPost, and TeX -=============================================== - -TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost have a number of features in common. -Besides the ones here, the common command-line options are described in -the previous section. The configuration file options that let you -control some array sizes and other features are described in *note -Runtime options::. - -* Menu: - -* Initial and virgin:: Making memory dumps vs. production runs. -* Memory dumps:: .fmt/.base files for fast startup. -* Editor invocation:: The `e' response at errors. -* \input filenames:: ~ and $ expansion in TeX/MF/MP. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Initial and virgin, Next: Memory dumps, Up: Three programs - -3.5.1 Initial and virgin ------------------------- - -The TeX and Metafont programs each have two main variants, called -"initial" and "virgin". MetaPost no longer makes this distinction. - - The initial form is enabled if: - 1. the `-ini' option was specified; or - - 2. the program name is `initex' resp. `inimf'; or - - 3. the first line of the main input file is `%&ini'; - otherwise, the virgin form is used. - - The "virgin" form is the one generally invoked for production use. -The first thing it does is read a memory dump (*note Determining the -memory dump to use::), and then proceeds on with the main job. - - The "initial" form is generally used only to create memory dumps -(see the next section). It starts up more slowly than the virgin form, -because it must do lengthy initializations that are encapsulated in the -memory dump file. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Memory dumps, Next: Editor invocation, Prev: Initial and virgin, Up: Three programs - -3.5.2 Memory dumps ------------------- - -In typical use, TeX and Metafont require a large number of macros to be -predefined; therefore, they support "memory dump" files, which can be -read much more efficiently than ordinary source code. - -* Menu: - -* Creating memory dumps:: -* Determining the memory dump to use:: -* Hardware and memory dumps:: - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Creating memory dumps, Next: Determining the memory dump to use, Up: Memory dumps - -3.5.2.1 Creating memory dumps -............................. - -The programs all create memory dumps in slightly idiosyncratic (thought -substantially similar) way, so we describe the details in separate -sections (references below). The basic idea is to run the initial -version of the program (*note Initial and virgin::), read the source -file to define the macros, and then execute the `\dump' primitive. - - Also, each program uses a different filename extension for its memory -dumps, since although they are completely analogous they are not -interchangeable (TeX cannot read a Metafont memory dump, for example). - - Here is a list of filename extensions with references to examples of -creating memory dumps: - -TeX - (`.fmt') *Note Initial TeX: Initial TeX. - -Metafont - (`.base') *Note Initial Metafont::. - - When making memory dumps, the programs read environment variables and -configuration files for path searching and other values as usual. If -you are making a new installation and have environment variables -pointing to an old one, for example, you will probably run into -difficulties. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Determining the memory dump to use, Next: Hardware and memory dumps, Prev: Creating memory dumps, Up: Memory dumps - -3.5.2.2 Determining the memory dump to use -.......................................... - -The virgin form (*note Initial and virgin::) of each program always -reads a memory dump before processing normal source input. All three -programs determine the memory dump to use in the same way: - - 1. If the first non-option command-line argument begins with `&', the - program uses the remainder of that argument as the memory dump - name. For example, running `tex \&super' reads `super.fmt'. (The - backslash protects the `&' against interpretation by the shell.) - - 2. If the `-fmt' resp. `-base' option is specified, its value is used. - - 3. If the `-progname' option is specified, its value is used. - - 4. If the first line of the main input file (which must be specified - on the command line, not in response to `**') is `%&DUMP', and - DUMP is an existing memory dump of the appropriate type, DUMP is - used. - - The first line of the main input file can also specify which - character translation file is to be used: - `%&-translate-file=TCXFILE' (*note TCX files::). - - These two roles can be combined: `%&DUMP -translate-file=TCXFILE'. - If this is done, the name of the dump must be given first. - - 5.

(This is a feature -of the Web2c implementation, and is not true of all TeX -implementations.) If you specify `--disable-dump-share' to -`configure', however, memory dumps will be endian-dependent. - - The reason to do this is speed. To achieve endian-independence, the -reading of memory dumps on LittleEndian architectures, such as PC's and -DEC architectures, is somewhat slowed (all the multibyte values have to -be swapped). Usually, this is not noticeable, and the advantage of -being able to share memory dumps across all platforms at a site far -outweighs the speed loss. But if you're installing Web2c for use on -LittleEndian machines only, perhaps on a PC being used only by you, you -may wish to get maximum speed. - - TeXnically, even without `--disable-dump-share', sharing of `.fmt' -files cannot be guaranteed to work. Floating-point values are always -written in native format, and hence will generally not be readable -across platforms. Fortunately, TeX uses floating point only to -represent glue ratios, and all common formats (plain, LaTeX, AMSTeX, -...) do not do any glue setting at `.fmt'-creation time. Metafont does -not use floating point in any dumped value at all. - - Incidentally, different memory dump files will never compare equal -byte-for-byte, because the program always dumps the current date and -time. So don't be alarmed by just a few bytes difference. - - If you don't know what endianness your machine is, and you're -curious, here is a little C program to tell you. (The `configure' script -contains a similar program.) This is from the book `C: A Reference -Manual', by Samuel P. Harbison and Guy L. Steele Jr. (*note -References::). - - main () - { - /* Are we little or big endian?

If the input came from a file, and the user -responds with `e' or `E', the program invokes an editor. - - Specifying `--with-editor=CMD' to `configure' sets the default -editor command string to CMD. The environment variables/configuration -values `TEXEDIT', `MFEDIT', and `MPEDIT' (respectively) override this. -If `--with-editor' is not specified, the default is `vi +%d %s' on -Unix, and an invocation of the TeXworks editor on Windows. (See -`texmf.cnf' for the precise values.) - - In this string, `%d' is replaced by the line number of the error, -and `%s' is replaced by the name of the current input file. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: \input filenames, Prev: Editor invocation, Up: Three programs - -3.5.4 `\input' filenames ------------------------- - -TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost source programs can all read other source -files with the `\input' (TeX) and `input' (MF and MP) primitives: - \input NAME % in TeX - - The file NAME can always be terminated with whitespace; for Metafont -and MetaPost, the statement terminator `;' also works. (LaTeX and -other macro packages provide other interfaces to `\input' that allow -different notation; here we are concerned only with the primitive -operation.) - - As of Web2c version 7.5.3, double-quote characters can be used to -include spaces or other special cases. In typical use, the `"' -characters surround the entire filename: - \input "filename with spaces" - - Technically, the quote characters can be used inside the name, and -can enclose any characters, as in: - \input filename" "with" "spaces - - One more point. In LaTeX, the quotes are needed inside the braces, -thus - \input{a b} % fails - \input{"a b"} % ok - - This quoting mechanism comes into play _after_ TeX has tokenized and -expanded the input. So, multiple spaces and tabs may be seen as a -single space, active characters such as `~' are expanded first, and so -on. (See below.) - - On the other hand, various C library routines and Unix itself use -the null byte (character code zero, ASCII NUL) to terminate strings. So -filenames in Web2c cannot contain nulls, even though TeX itself does -not treat NUL specially. In addition, some older Unix variants do not -allow eight-bit characters (codes 128-255) in filenames. - - For maximal portability of your document across systems, use only the -characters `a'-`z', `0'-`9', and `.', and restrict your filenames to at -most eight characters (not including the extension), and at most a -three-character extension. Do not use anything but simple filenames, -since directory separators vary among systems; instead, add the -necessary directories to the appropriate search path. - - Finally, the present Web2c implementation does `~' and `$' expansion -on NAME, unlike Knuth's original implementation and older versions of -Web2c. Thus: - \input ~jsmith/$foo.bar - will dereference the environment variable or Kpathsea config file -value `foo' and read that file extended with `.bar' in user `jsmith''s -home directory. You can also use braces, as in `${foo}bar', if you -want to follow the variable name with a letter, numeral, or `_'. - - (So another way to get a program to read a filename containing -whitespace is to define an environment variable and dereference it.) - - In all the common TeX formats (plain TeX, LaTeX, AMSTeX), the -characters `~' and `$' have special category codes, so to actually use -these in a document you have to change their catcodes or use `\string'. -(The result is unportable anyway, see the suggestions above.)

To see all the relevant paths, set -the environment variable `KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to `-1' before running the -program. - - After TEXNAME is read, TeX processes any remaining TEX-COMMANDS on -the command line as regular TeX input. Also, if the first non-option -argument begins with a TeX escape character (usually `\'), TeX -processes all non-option command-line arguments as a line of regular -TeX input. - - If no arguments or options are specified, TeX prompts for an input -file name with `**'. - - TeX writes the main DVI output to the file `BASETEXNAME.dvi', where -BASETEXNAME is the basename of TEXNAME, or `texput' if no input file -was specified. A DVI file is a device-independent binary -representation of your TeX document. The idea is that after running -TeX, you translate the DVI file using a separate program to the -commands for a particular output device, such as a PostScript printer -(*note Introduction: (dvips)Top.) or an X Window System display (see -xdvi(1)). - - TeX also reads TFM files for any fonts you load in your document with -the `\font' primitive. By default, it runs an external program named -`mktextfm' to create any nonexistent TFM files. You can disable this -at configure-time or runtime (*note mktex configuration: -(kpathsea)mktex configuration.). This is enabled mostly for the sake -of the EC fonts, which can be generated at any size. - - TeX can write output files, via the `\openout' primitive; this opens -a security hole vulnerable to Trojan horse attack: an unwitting user -could run a TeX program that overwrites, say, `~/.rhosts'. (MetaPost -has a `write' primitive with similar implications). To alleviate this -and similar problems the functions `kpathsea_out_name_ok' and -`kpathsea_in_name_ok' from the Kpathse library (*note Calling sequence: -(kpathsea)Calling sequence.) are used to determine if a given filename -is acceptable to be opened for output or input, depending on the -setting of the configuration variables `openout_any' and `openin_any': -`a' (for "any", the default for `openin_any'), `r' (for "restricted"), -or `p' (for "paranoid", the default for `openout_any'). - - In any case, all `\openout' filenames are recorded in the log file, -except those opened on the first line of input, which is processed when -the log file has not yet been opened. - - The program accepts the following options, as well as the standard -`-help' and `-version' (*note Common options::): -`-enc' -`-[no]-file-line-error' -`-fmt=FMTNAME' -`-halt-on-error' -`-ini' -`-interaction=STRING' -`-ipc' -`-ipc-start' -`-jobname=STRING' -`-kpathsea-debug=NUMBER' -`-[no]parse-first-line' -`-output-directory' -`-progname=STRING' -`-recorder' -`-translate-file=TCXFILE' -`-8bit' - These options are common to TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost. *Note - Common options::. - -`-enc' - Enable encTeX extensions, such as `\mubyte'.

These are restricted to substitutions of an accented -character glyph, which need not be defined in the current font, by its -appropriate `\accent' construction using a base and accent character -glyph, which do have to exist in the current font. This substitution -is automatically done behind the scenes, if necessary, and thus MLTeX -additionally supports hyphenation of words containing an accented -character glyph for fonts missing this glyph (e.g., Computer Modern). -Standard TeX suppresses hyphenation in this case. - - MLTeX works at `.fmt'-creation time: the basic idea is to specify -the `-mltex' option to TeX when you `\dump' a format. Then, when you -subsequently invoke TeX and read that `.fmt' file, the MLTeX features -described below will be enabled. - - Generally, you use special macro files to create an MLTeX `.fmt' -file. - - The sections below describe the two new primitives that MLTeX -defines. Aside from these, MLTeX is completely compatible with -standard TeX. - -* Menu: - -* \charsubdef:: Character substitution definitions. -* \tracingcharsubdef:: Tracing substitutions. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: \charsubdef, Next: \tracingcharsubdef, Up: MLTeX - -4.4.1.1 `\charsubdef': Character substitutions -.............................................. - -The most important primitive MLTeX adds is `\charsubdef', used in a way -reminiscent of `\chardef': - \charsubdef COMPOSITE [=] ACCENT BASE - - Each of COMPOSITE, ACCENT, and BASE are font glyph numbers, -expressed in the usual TeX syntax: `\e symbolically, '145 for octal, -"65 for hex, 101 for decimal. - - MLTeX's `\charsubdef' declares how to construct an accented -character glyph (not necessarily existing in the current font) using two -character glyphs (that do exist). Thus it defines whether a character -glyph code, either typed as a single character or using the `\char' -primitive, will be mapped to a font glyph or to an `\accent' glyph -construction. - - For example, if you assume glyph code 138 (decimal) for an -e-circumflex and you are using the Computer Modern fonts, which have -the circumflex accent in position 18 and lowercase `e' in the usual -ASCII position 101 decimal, you would use `\charsubdef' as follows: - - \charsubdef 138 = 18 101 - - For the plain TeX format to make use of this substitution, you have -to redefine the circumflex accent macro `\^' in such a way that if its -argument is character `e' the expansion `\char138 ' is used instead of -`\accent18 e'. Similar `\charsubdef' declaration and macro -redefinitions have to be done for all other accented characters. - - To disable a previous `\charsubdef C', redefine C as a pair of -zeros. For example: - \charsubdef '321 = 0 0 % disable N tilde - (Octal '321 is the ISO Latin-1 value for the Spanish N tilde.) - - `\charsubdef' commands should only be given once. Although in -principle you can use `\charsubdef' at any time, the result is -unspecified. If `\charsubdef' declarations are changed, usually either -incorrect character dimensions will be used or MLTeX will output -missing character warnings. (The substitution of a `\charsubdef' is -used by TeX when appending the character node to the current horizontal -list, to compute the width of a horizontal box when the box gets -packed, and when building the `\accent' construction at -`\shipout'-time. In summary, the substitution is accessed often, so -changing it is not desirable, nor generally useful.) - - -File: web2c.info, Node: \tracingcharsubdef, Prev: \charsubdef, Up: MLTeX - -4.4.1.2 `\tracingcharsubdef': Substitution diagnostics -...................................................... - -To help diagnose problems with `\charsubdef', MLTeX provides a new -primitive parameter, `\tracingcharsubdef'. If positive, every use of -`\charsubdef' will be reported. This can help track down when a -character is redefined. - - In addition, if the TeX parameter `\tracinglostchars' is 100 or -more, the character substitutions actually performed at `\shipout'-time -will be recorded. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: TCX files, Prev: patgen invocation, Up: Languages and hyphenation - -4.4.2 TCX files: Character translations ---------------------------------------- - -TCX (TeX character translation) files help TeX support direct input of -8-bit international characters if fonts containing those characters are -being used. Specifically, they map an input (keyboard) character code -to the internal TeX character code (a superset of ASCII). - - Of the various proposals for handling more than one input encoding, -TCX files were chosen because they follow Knuth's original ideas for -the use of the `xchr' and `xord' tables. He ventured that these would -be changed in the WEB source in order to adjust the actual version to a -given environment. It turns out, however, that recompiling the WEB -sources is not as simple a task as Knuth may have imagined; therefore, -TCX files, providing the possibility of changing of the conversion -tables on on-the-fly, have been implemented instead. - - This approach limits the portability of TeX documents, as some -implementations do not support it (or use a different method for -input-internal reencoding). It may also be problematic to determine -the encoding to use for a TeX document of unknown provenance; in the -worst case, failure to do so correctly may result in subtle errors in -the typeset output. But we feel the benefits outweigh these -disadvantages. - - This is entirely independent of the MLTeX extension (*note MLTeX::): -whereas a TCX file defines how an input keyboard character is mapped to -TeX's internal code, MLTeX defines substitutions for a non-existing -character glyph in a font with a `\accent' construction made out of two -separate character glyphs. TCX files involve no new primitives; it is -not possible to specify that an input (keyboard) character maps to more -than one character. - - Information on specifying TCX files: - - * The best way to specify a TCX file is to list it explicitly in the - first line of the main document: - %& -translate-file=TCXFILE - - * You can also specify a TCX file to be used on a particular TeX run - with the command-line option `-translate-file=TCXFILE'. - - * TCX files are searched for along the `WEB2C' path. - - * Initial TeX (*note Initial TeX: Initial TeX.) ignores TCX files. - - The Web2c distribution comes with a number of TCX files. Two -important ones are `il1-t1.tcx' and `il2-t1.tcx', which support ISO -Latin 1 and ISO Latin 2, respectively, with Cork-encoded fonts (a.k.a. -the LaTeX T1 encoding). TCX files for Czech, Polish, and Slovak are -also provided. - - One other notable TCX file is `empty.tcx', which is, well, empty. -Its purpose is to reset Web2C's behavior to the default (only visible -ASCII being printable, as described below) when a format was dumped -with another TCX being active--which is in fact the case for everything -but plain TeX in the TeX Live and other distributions. Thus: - - latex somefile8.tex - => terminal etc. output with 8-bit chars - latex --translate-file=empty.tcx somefile8.tex - => terminal etc. output with ^^ notation - - Syntax of TCX files: - 1. Line-oriented. Blank lines are ignored. - - 2. Whitespace is ignored except as a separator. - - 3. Comments start with `%' and continue to the end of the line. - - 4. Otherwise, a line consists of one or two character codes, - optionally followed by 0 or 1. The last number indicates whether - DEST is considered printable. - SRC [DEST [PRNT]] - - 5. Each character code may be specified in octal with a leading `0', - hexadecimal with a leading `0x', or decimal otherwise. Values must - be between 0 and 255, inclusive (decimal). - - 6. If the DEST code is not specified, it is taken to be the same as - SRC. - - 7. If the same SRC code is specified more than once, it is the last - definition that counts. - - Finally, here's what happens: when TeX sees an input character with -code SRC, it 1) changes SRC to DEST; and 2) makes the DEST code -"printable", i.e., printed as-is in diagnostics and the log file rather -than in `^^' notation. - - By default, no characters are translated, and character codes -between 32 and 126 inclusive (decimal) are printable. - - Specifying translations for the printable ASCII characters (codes -32-127) will yield unpredictable results. Additionally you shouldn't -make the following characters printable: `^^I' (TAB), `^^J' (line -feed), `^^M' (carriage return), and `^^?' (delete), since TeX uses them -in various ways. - - Thus, the idea is to specify the input (keyboard) character code for -SRC, and the output (font) character code for DEST. - - By default, only the printable ASCII characters are considered -printable by TeX. If you specify the `-8bit' option, all characters are -considered printable by default. If you specify both the `-8bit' -option and a TCX file, then the TCX can set specific characters to be -non-printable. - - Both the specified TCX encoding and whether characters are printable -are saved in the dump files (like `tex.fmt'). So by giving these -options in combination with `-ini', you control the defaults seen by -anyone who uses the resulting dump file. - - When loading a dump, if the `-8bit' option was given, then all -characters become printable by default. - - When loading a dump, if a TCX file was specified, then the TCX data -from the dump is ignored and the data from the file used instead. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: patgen invocation, Next: TCX files, Prev: MLTeX, Up: Languages and hyphenation - -4.4.3 Patgen: Creating hyphenation patterns -------------------------------------------- - -Patgen creates hyphenation patterns from dictionary files for use with -TeX.

Therefore, as of TeX Live 2009, a "restricted" mode for -shell escapes is the default mode of operation, which allows executing -only certain commands, as specified in the `texmf.cnf' configuration -file. - - * Unrestricted shell escapes are allowed if the option - `--shell-escape' is specified, or if the environment variable or - config file value `shell_escape' is set to `t' or `y' and `1'. - - * Restricted shell escapes are allowed if `shell_escape' is set to - `p'. This is the default. - - * Shell escapes are completely disabled if `--no-shell-escape' is - specified, or if `shell_escape' is set to anything else. - - When enabled, the TeX construct to execute a system command is -`\write18{SHELL-COMMAND}'; for example: - - \write18{echo "hello, world"} - - From TeX's point of view, this is a normal `\write' command, and is -therefore subject to the usual TeX expansions. Also, the system call -either happens during the `\output' routine or right away, according to -the absence or presence of the `\immediate' prefix, as usual for -`\write'. - - The SHELL-COMMAND string is passed to the command shell (via the C -library function `system'). The output of SHELL-COMMAND is not -diverted anywhere, so it will not appear in the log file, or anywhere -but the terminal output. The exit status of the system call is also -not available to TeX. - - In unrestricted mode, the argument is simply passed straight to -`system' unaltered. - - In restricted mode, ASCII double quote characters (") should always -be used in the argument to `\write18' where quoting of arguments is -needed, as in the example above. This is to achieve some measure of -system independence. On Unix systems, these are replaced with single -quote (') characters to avoid insecure further expansion. Care is also -taken on Windows to avoid additional expansions (from, e.g., `...`). -Mismatched quotation marks in the command string result in a diagnostic -message in the log file; no execution is performed. - - After quotation processing, if the first word (delimited by a space -or tab) of the command is in the list specified by the -`shell_escape_commands' configuration value, the command is executed. -Otherwise it is not. In any case, a message is written to the log file. - - The `shell_escape_commands' value is a comma-separated list of -words. Whitespace is significant, and typically should not be present. -The default definition looks like this, but with more commands included: - - shell_escape_commands = bibtex,dvips,epstopdf,...,tex - - pdfTeX and luaTeX support reading (via `\input' and `\openin') and -writing (via `\openout') from pipes if the first character is `|'. The -following command is then treated exactly the same as the argument to -`\write18'. In these engines, the primitive variable `\pdfshellescape' -is set to 0 if shell escapes are disabled, 1 if they are enabled, and 2 -if they are enabled with restrictions. - - The purpose of this feature is to make it possible for TeX documents -to perform useful external actions in the common case of an individual -user running a known document on his or her own machine. In such -environments as CGI scripts or wikis where the input has to be -considered untrustworthy, shell escapes should be completely disabled. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: IPC and TeX, Next: TeX extensions, Prev: Shell escapes, Up: TeX - -4.6 IPC and TeX -=============== - -(If anyone uses this feature and needs documentation, write -<tex-k@tug.org>.) - - This functionality is available only if the `--enable-ipc' option -was specified to `configure' during installation of Web2c (*note -Installation::). - - If you define `IPC_DEBUG' before compilation (e.g., with `make -XCFLAGS=-DIPC_DEBUG'), TeX will print messages to standard error about -its socket operations.

This approach has both considerable -disadvantages (people unfamiliar with conventional programming -languages will be unlikely to find it usable) and considerable -advantages (you can make your design intentions specific and -parameterizable). For a complete description of the Metafont language, -see `The METAFONTbook' (*note References::). - -* Menu: - -* mf invocation:: Invoking Metafont. -* Initial Metafont:: Making bases. -* Modes:: Device definitions for Metafont. -* Online Metafont graphics:: Seeing MF output online. -* gftodvi invocation:: Making proofsheets for fonts. -* mft invocation:: Prettyprinting Metafont sources. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: mf invocation, Next: Initial Metafont, Up: Metafont - -5.1 `mf' invocation -=================== - -Metafont (usually invoked as `mf') reads character definitions -specified in the Metafont programming language, and outputs the -corresponding font. This section merely describes the options available -in the Web2c implementation. For a complete description of the Metafont -language, see `The Metafontbook' (*note References::). - - Metafont processes its command line and determines its memory dump -(base) file in a way exactly analogous to MetaPost and TeX (*note tex -invocation::, and *note Memory dumps::). Synopses: - - mf [OPTION]... [MFNAME[.mf]] [MF-COMMANDS] - mf [OPTION]... \FIRST-LINE - mf [OPTION]... &BASE ARGS - - Most commonly, a Metafont invocation looks like this: - mf '\mode:=MODE; mag:=MAGNIFICATION; input MFNAME' - (The single quotes avoid unwanted interpretation by the shell.) - - Metafont searches the usual places for the main input file MFNAME -(*note Supported file formats: (kpathsea)Supported file formats.), -extending MFNAME with `.mf' if necessary. To see all the relevant -paths, set the environment variable `KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to `-1' before -running the program. By default, Metafont runs an external program -named `mktexmf' to create any nonexistent Metafont source files you -input. You can disable this at configure-time or runtime (*note mktex -configuration: (kpathsea)mktex configuration.). This is mostly for the -sake of the EC fonts, which can be generated at any size. - - Metafont writes the main GF output to the file `BASEMFNAME.NNNgf', -where NNN is the font resolution in pixels per inch, and BASEMFNAME is -the basename of MFNAME, or `mfput' if no input file was specified. A -GF file contains bitmaps of the actual character shapes. Usually GF -files are converted immediately to PK files with GFtoPK (*note gftopk -invocation::), since PK files contain equivalent information, but are -more compact. (Metafont output in GF format rather than PK for only -historical reasons.) - - Metafont also usually writes a metric file in TFM format to -`BASEMFNAME.tfm'. A TFM file contains character dimensions, kerns, and -ligatures, and spacing parameters. TeX reads only this .tfm file, not -the GF file. - - The MODE in the example command above is a name referring to a -device definition (*note Modes::); for example, `localfont' or -`ljfour'. These device definitions must generally be precompiled into -the base file. If you leave this out, the default is `proof' mode, as -stated in `The Metafontbook', in which Metafont outputs at a resolution -of 2602dpi; this is usually not what you want. The remedy is simply to -assign a different mode--`localfont', for example. - - The MAGNIFICATION assignment in the example command above is a -magnification factor; for example, if the device is 600dpi and you -specify `mag:=2', Metafont will produce output at 1200dpi. Very often, -the MAGNIFICATION is an expression such as `magstep(.5)', corresponding -to a TeX "magstep", which are factors of 1.2 * sqrt(2). - - After running Metafont, you can use the font in a TeX document as -usual. For example: - \font\myfont = newfont - \myfont Now I am typesetting in my new font (minimum hamburgers). - - The program accepts the following options, as well as the standard -`-help' and `-version' (*note Common options::): -`-[no]-file-line-error' -`-fmt=FMTNAME' -`-halt-on-error' -`-ini' -`-interaction=STRING' -`-jobname=STRING' -`-kpathsea-debug=NUMBER' -`-[no]parse-first-line' -`-output-directory' -`-progname=STRING' -`-recorder' -`-translate-file=TCXFILE' -`-8bit' - These options are common to TeX, Metafont, and MetaPost. *Note - Common options::. - -`-mktex=FILETYPE' -`-no-mktex=FILETYPE' - Turn on or off the `mktex' script associated with FILETYPE. The - only value that makes sense for FILETYPE is `mf'. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Initial Metafont, Next: Modes, Prev: mf invocation, Up: Metafont - -5.2 Initial Metafont -==================== - -`inimf' is the "initial" form of Metafont, which does lengthy -initializations avoided by the "virgin" (`vir') form, so as to be -capable of dumping `.base' files (*note Memory dumps::). For a -detailed comparison of virgin and initial forms, see *note Initial and -virgin::. In past releases, a separate program `inimf' was installed -to invoke the initial form, but this is no longer the case. - - For a list of options and other information, see *note mf -invocation::. - - The only memory dump file commonly used with Metafont is the default -`plain.base', also known as `mf.base' (again, *note Memory dumps::). -It is created by default during installation, but you can also do so by -hand if necessary (e.g., if a Metafont update is issued): - mf -ini '\input plain; input modes; dump' - (The quotes prevent interpretation of the backslashes from the -shell.) Then install the resulting `plain.base' in `$(basedir)' -(`/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c' by default), and link `mf.base' to it. - - For an explanation of the additional `modes.mf' file, see *note -Modes::. This file has no counterpart in TeX or MetaPost. - - In the past, it was sometimes useful to create a base file -`cmmf.base' (a.k.a. `cm.base'), with the Computer Modern macros also -included in the base file. Nowadays, however, the additional time -required to read `cmbase.mf' is exceedingly small, usually not enough -to be worth the administrative hassle of updating the `cmmf.base' file -when you install a new version of `modes.mf'. People actually working -on a typeface may still find it worthwhile to create their own base -file, of course. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Modes, Next: Online Metafont graphics, Prev: Initial Metafont, Up: Metafont - -5.3 Modes: Device definitions for Metafont -========================================== - -Running Metafont and creating Metafont base files requires information -that TeX and MetaPost do not: "mode" definitions which specify device -characteristics, so Metafont can properly rasterize the shapes. - - When making a base file, a file containing modes for -locally-available devices should be input after `plain.mf'. One -commonly used file is `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf'; it includes all -known definitions. - - If, however, for some reason you have decreased the memory available -in your Metafont, you may need to copy `modes.mf' and remove the -definitions irrelevant to you (probably most of them) instead of using -it directly. (Or, if you're a Metafont hacker, maybe you can suggest a -way to redefine `mode_def' and/or `mode_setup'; right now, the amount -of memory used is approximately four times the total length of the -`mode_def' names, and that's a lot.) - - If you have a device not included in `modes.mf', please see comments -in that file for how to create the new definition, and please send the -definition to <tex-fonts@math.utah.edu> to get it included in the next -release of `modes.mf'. - - Usually, when you run Metafont you must supply the name of a mode -that was dumped in the base file. But you can also define the mode -characteristics dynamically, by invoking Metafont with an assignment to -`smode' instead of `mode', like this: - mf '\smode:="newmode.mf"; mag:=MAGNIFICATION; input MFNAME' - This is most useful when you are working on the definition of a new -mode. - - The MAGNIFICATION and MFNAME arguments are explained in *note mf -invocation::. In the file `newmode.mf', you should have the following -(with no `mode_def' or `enddef'), if you are using `modes.mf' -conventions: - mode_param (pixels_per_inch, DPI); - mode_param (blacker, B); - mode_param (fillin, F); - mode_param (o_correction, O); - mode_common_setup_; - (Of course, you should use real numbers for DPI, B, F, and O.) - - For more information on the use of `smode', or if you are not using -`modes.mf', see page 269 of `The Metafontbook'. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: Online Metafont graphics, Next: gftodvi invocation, Prev: Modes, Up: Metafont - -5.4 Online Metafont graphics -============================ - -The Web2c implementation of Metafont can do online graphics with a -number of devices. (See the Metafont manual for more information about -how to draw on your screen.) By default, no graphics support is -enabled. - - Metafont examines the `MFTERM' environment variable or config file -value at runtime, or the `TERM' environment variable if `MFTERM' is not -set, to determine the device support to use.

The Xt - support is more efficient and has more functionality, so it is the - default. If you must use the Xlib support, use `configure --with-x - --with-kf-x-toolkit=no'. - - Specify `--disable-mf-nowin' in order not to build a separate - non-windows-capable Metafont executable `mf-nowin' (or - `mf-nowin.exe'). - - You cannot specify any of the usual X options (e.g., `-geometry') - on the Metafont command line, but you can specify X resources in - your `~/.Xdefaults' or `~/.Xresources' file.

This is an indispensable aid for -font designers or Metafont hackers. Synopsis: - - gftodvi [OPTION]... GFNAME[gf] - - The font GFNAME is searched for in the usual places (*note Glyph -lookup: (kpathsea)Glyph lookup.). To see all the relevant paths, set -the environment variable `KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to `-1' before running the -program. - - The suffix `gf' is supplied if not already present. This suffix is -not an extension, no `.' precedes it; for instance, `cmr10.600gf'. - - The output filename is the basename of GFNAME extended with `.dvi', -e.g., `gftodvi /wherever/foo.600gf' creates `./foo.dvi'. - - The characters from GFNAME appear one per page in the DVI output, -with labels, titles, and annotations, as specified in Appendix H -(Hardcopy Proofs) of `The Metafontbook'. - - GFtoDVI uses several fonts besides GFNAME itself: - - * "gray font" (default `gray'): for the pixels that actually make up - the character. Simply using black is not right, since then labels, - key points, and other information could not be shown. - - * "title font" (default `cmr8'): for the header information at the - top of each output page. - - * "label font" (default `cmtt10'): for the labels on key points of - the figure. - - * "slant font" (no default): for diagonal lines, which are otherwise - simulated using horizontal and vertical rules. - - To change the default fonts, you must use `special' commands in your -Metafont source file, typically via commands like `slantfont slantlj4'. -There is no default slant font since no one printer is suitable as a -default. You can make your own by copying one of the existing files, -such as `.../fonts/source/public/misc/slantlj4.mf' and then running -`mf' on it. - - For testing purposes, you may it useful to run `mf-nowin rtest' (hit -RETURN when it stops) to get a `gf' file of a thorn glyph. Or use `mf' -instead of `mf-nowin' to have the glyph(s) displayed on the screen. -After that, `gftodvi rtest.2602gf' should produce `rtest.dvi', which -you process as usual. - - The program accepts the following option, as well as the standard -`-verbose', `-help', and `-version' (*note Common options::): - -`-overflow-label-offset=POINTS' - Typeset the so-called overflow labels, if any, POINTS TeX points - from the right edge of the character bounding box. The default is - a little over two inches (ten million scaled points, to be - precise).

Synopsis: - - mft [OPTION]... MFNAME[.mf] - - MFT searches the usual places for MFNAME (*note Supported file -formats: (kpathsea)Supported file formats.). To see all the relevant -paths, set the environment variable `KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to `-1' before -running the program. The output goes to the basename of MFNAME extended -with `.tex', e.g., `mft /wherever/foo.mf' creates `./foo.tex'. - - Line breaks in the input are carried over into the output; moreover, -blank spaces at the beginning of a line are converted to quads of -indentation in the output. Thus, you have full control over the -indentation and line breaks. Each line of input is translated -independently of the others. - - Further control is allowed via Metafont comments: - * Metafont comments following a single `%' should be valid TeX - input. But Metafont material can be included within vertical bars - in a comment; this will be translated by MFT as if it were regular - Metafont code. For example, a comment like `% |x2r| is the tip of - the bowl' will be translated into the TeX `% $x_{2r}$ is the ...', - i.e., the `x2r' is treated as an identifier. - - * `%%' indicates that the remainder of an input line should be copied - verbatim to the output. This is typically used to introduce - additional TeX material at the beginning or an MFT job, e.g. code - to modify the standard layout or the formatting macros defined in - `mftmac.tex', or to add a line saying `%%\bye' at the end of the - job. (MFT doesn't add this automatically in order to allow - processing several files produces by MFT in the same TeX job.) - - * `%%% TOKEN1 OTHER-TOKENS' introduces a change in MFT's formatting - rules; all the OTHER-TOKENS will henceforth be translated - according to the current conventions for TOKEN1. The tokens must - be symbolic (i.e., not numeric or string tokens). For example, the - input line - %%% addto fill draw filldraw - says to format the `fill', `draw', and `filldraw' operations of - plain Metafont just like the primitive token `addto', i.e., in - boldface type. Without such reformatting commands, MFT would - treat `fill' like an ordinary tag or variable name. In fact, you - need a `%%%' command even to get parentheses to act like - delimiters. - - * `%%%%' introduces an MFT comment, i.e., MFT ignores the remainder - of such a line. - - * Five or more `%' signs should not be used. - - (The above description was edited from `mft.web', written by -D.E. Knuth.) - - The program accepts the following options, as well as the standard -`-help' and `-version' (*note Common options::): -`-change=CHFILE[.ch]' - Apply the change file CHFILE as with Tangle and Weave (*note - WEB::). - -`-style=MFTFILE[.mft]' - Read MFTFILE before anything else; a MFT style file typically - contains only MFT directives as described above. The default - style file is named `plain.mft', which defines this properly for - programs using plain Metafont. The MFT files is searched along the - `MFTINPUTS' path; see *note Supported file formats: - (kpathsea)Supported file formats. - - Other examples of MFT style files are `cmbase.mft', which defines - formatting rules for the macros defined in `cm.base', and `e.mft', - which was used in the production of Knuth's Volume E, `Computer - Modern Typefaces'. - - Using an appropriate MFT style file, it is also possible to - configure MFT for typesetting MetaPost sources. However, MFT does - not search the usual places for MetaPost input files. - - If you use eight-bit characters in the input file, they are passed -on verbatim to the TeX output file; it is up to you to configure TeX to -print these properly. - - -File: web2c.info, Node: MetaPost, Next: BibTeX, Prev: Metafont, Up: Top - -6 MetaPost: Creating technical illustrations -******************************************** - -MetaPost is a picture-drawing language similar to Metafont (*note -Metafont::), but instead of outputting bitmaps in a "font", it outputs -PostScript commands.

This section merely describes the options available in the Web2c -implementation. For a complete description of the MetaPost language, -see AT&T technical report CSTR-162, generally available in -`TEXMF/doc/metapost/', where TEXMF is the root of TeX directory -structure. See also: - * `http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/hobby/MetaPost.html' (the - MetaPost author's home page); - - * `http://tug.org/metapost' (papers, packages, and related - information). - - Also, a standard MetaPost package for drawing graphs is documented in -AT&T technical report CSTR-164, available as the file `mpgraph.ps', -generally stored alongside `mpman.ps'. - - MetaPost processes its command line and determines its memory dump -(mem) file in a way exactly analogous to Metafont and TeX (*note `tex' -invocation: tex invocation, and *note Memory dumps::). Synopses: - - mpost [OPTION]... [MPNAME[.mp]] [MP-COMMANDS] - mpost [OPTION]... \FIRST-LINE - mpost [OPTION]... &MEM ARGS - - MetaPost searches the usual places for the main input file MPNAME -(*note Supported file formats: (kpathsea)Supported file formats.), -extending MPNAME with `.mp' if necessary. To see all the relevant -paths, set the environment variable `KPATHSEA_DEBUG' to `-1' before -running the program. - - MetaPost writes its PostScript output to a series of files -`BASEMPNAME.NNN' (or perhaps `BASEMPNAME.ps', very occasionally -`BASEMPNAME.tfm'), where NNN are the figure numbers specified in the -input, typically to the `beginfig' macro, and BASEMPNAME is the -basename of MPNAME, or `mpout' if no input file was specified. -MetaPost uses the `.ps' extension when the figure number is out of -range, e.g., if you say `beginfig(-1)'. - - You can use the output files as figures in a TeX document just as -with any other PostScript figures. For example, with this TeX command: - \special{psfile="FILENAME"} - or by using `epsf.tex' (*note EPSF macros: (dvips)EPSF macros.). - - The MetaPost construct - btex ... TEX-INPUT ... etex - generates a MetaPost picture expression corresponding to TEX-INPUT. - - The construct - verbatimtex ... TEX-INPUT ... etex - simply passes the TEX-INPUT through to TeX. For example, if you are -using LaTeX, your MetaPost input file must start with a `verbatimtex' -block that gives the necessary `\documentclass' (or `\documentstyle') -`\begin{document}' command. You will also need to set the enviroment -variable `TEX' to `latex'. - - TEX-INPUT need not be specifically TeX input; it could also be -Troff. In that case, you will need the `-m pictures' Troff macro -package (unfortunately absent from many Troff implementations), or an -equivalent such as the `-m pspic' macros from GNU groff described in -grops(1). - - Naturally, you must use fonts that are supported by the typesetter; -specifically, you'll probably want to use standard PostScript fonts with -Troff. And only the TeX system understands Computer Modern or other -Metafont fonts; you can also use PostScript fonts with TeX, of course. - - MetaPost-generated PostScript figures which do use Computer Modern -fonts for labels cannot be directly previewed or printed. Instead, you -must include them in a TeX document and run the resulting DVI file -through Dvips to arrange for the downloading of the required fonts -(*note Fonts in figures: (dvips)Fonts in figures.). To help with this, -the MetaPost distribution provides a small TeX file `mproof.tex' which -is typically called as: - tex mproof MP-OUTPUT-FILES... ; dvips mproof -o - The resulting file `mproof.ps' can then be printed or previewed. - - To generate EPSF files, set the internal MetaPost variable -`prologues' positive. To make the output files self-contained, use -only standard PostScript fonts.

The font -metric information contained in TFM files is device-independent units is -used by TeX to do typesetting. Unlike the bitmap (raster) fonts -described below, TFM font files contain no information about the shapes -of characters. They describe rectangular areas and combinations -thereof, but not what will eventually be printed in those areas. - - Since TeX does scaling calculations, one TFM file serves for all -magnifications of a given typeface. On the other hand, the best printed -results are obtained when magnified (or reduced fonts) are not produced -geometrically (as done by PostScript, for example) but rather optically, -with each size a separate design (as done with Computer Modern and the -EC fonts, for example); then a separate TFM file is needed for each -size. - - At any rate, TeX produces a DVI (DeVice Independent) file from your -source document. In order to print DVI files on real devices, you need -font files defining digitized character shapes and other data. Then -previewers and printer-driver programs can translate your DVI files into -something usable by your monitor or printer. Bitmap fonts come with -suffixes such as `.600pk' or `.600gf' or `.3000pxl', where the `600' is -the horizontal dots-per-inch resolution at which the font was produced, -and the `pk' or `gf' or `pxl' indicates the font format. Outline fonts -in PostScript Type 1 format have suffixes such as `.pfa' or `.pfb'. - - Fonts in pk (packed) format are in the tightly packed raster format -that is pretty much the standard today. They take up less space than -fonts in the gf (generic font) format that Metafont generates, and far -less space than fonts in pxl format. Fonts in pxl format take up gross -amounts of disk space and permit only 128 characters. They are -obsolete. - - Font files with the `.pl' (property list) suffix are the plain text -(human-readable) analog of the binary `.tfm' files. The TFtoPL and -PLtoTF programs convert between the two formats (*note tftopl -invocation:: and *note pltotf invocation::). - - Font files with the `.mf' suffix are in Metafont source format. -These are the files used by Metafont to generate rastered fonts for -specific typefaces at specific magnifications for the specific -resolution and type of mapping used by your device. - - The suffix `.vf' identifies "virtual font" files, for which `.vpl' -is the human-readable analog.
