The program is intended to be used for -preliminary proofreading of TeX-ed documents. -By default the output is directed to the terminal, -possibly through a pager (depending on how the program was installed), -but it can be directed to a file or a pipe. -.PP -The output leaves much to be desired, but is still -useful if you want to avoid walking to the -laser printer (or whatever) for each iteration of your -document. -.br -Since -.I dvi2tty -produces output for terminals and line printers the -representation of documents is naturally quite primitive. -In principle Font Changes are totally ignored, but -.I dvi2tty -recognizes -a few mathematical and special symbols that can be be displayed on an -ordinary ascii terminal, such as the '+' and '-' symbol. -.PP -If the width of the output text requires more columns than fits -in one line (c.f. the \-w option) it is broken into several lines by -.I dvi2tty -although they will be printed as one line on regular TeX output -devices (e.g. laser printers). To show that a broken line is really -just one logical line an asterisk (``*'') in the last position -means that the logical line is continued on the next physical -line output by -.I dvi2tty. -Such a continuation line is started with a a space and an asterisk -in the first two columns. -.PP -Options may be specified in the environment variable DVI2TTY. -Any option on the command line, conflicting with one in the -environment, will override the one from the environment. -.PP -.B Options: -.PP -.TP -.B \-o file -Write output to file ``file''. -.TP -.B \-p list -Print the pages chosen by list. -Numbers refer to TeX\-page numbers (known as \\count0). -An example of format for list is ``1,3:6,8'' -to choose pages 1, 3 through 6 and 8. -Negative numbers can be used exactly as in TeX, -e g \-1 comes before \-4 as in ``\-p\-1:\-4,17''. -.TP -.B \-P list -Like \-p except that page numbers refer to -the sequential ordering of the pages in the dvi\-file. -Negative numbers don't make a lot of sense here... -.TP -.B \-w n -Specify terminal width -.I n. -Legal range 16\-132. -Default is 80. If your terminal has the -ability to display in 132 columns it might -be a good idea to use \-w132 and toggle the -terminal into this mode as output will -probably look somewhat better. -.TP -.B \-v -Specify height of lines. Default value 450000. Allows to adjust linespacing. -.TP -.B \-q -Don't pipe the output through a pager. -This may be the default on some systems -(depending on the whims of the person installing the program). -.TP -.B \-e n -This option can be used to influence the spacing between words. -With a negative value the number of spaces -between words becomes less, with a positive value it becomes more. -\-e\-11 seems to worked well. -.TP -.B \-f -Pipe through a pager, $PAGER if defined, or whatever the installer of -the program compiled -in (often ``more''). This may be the default, but it is still okay -to redirect output with ``>'', the pager will not be used if output -is not going to a terminal. -.TP -.B \-F -Specify the pager program to be used. -This overrides the $PAGER and the default pager. -.TP -.B \-Fprog -Use ``prog'' as program to pipe output into. Can be used to choose an -alternate pager (e g ``-Fless''). -.TP -.B \-t -\\tt fonts were used (instead of cm) to produce dvi file. (screen.sty -is a powerfull mean to do that with LaTeX). -.TP -.B \-a -Dvi2tty normally tries to output accented characters. With the -a option, -accented characters are output without the accent sign. -.TP -.B \-l -Mark page breaks with the two-character sequence ``^L''. The default is -to mark them with a form-feed character. -.TP -.B \-c -Do not attempt to translate any characters (like the Scandinavion/latin1 mode) -except when running in tt-font. -.TP -.B \-u -Toggle option to process certain latin1 characters. Use this if your output -devices supports latin1 cahracters. -Note this may interfere with -s. Best not to use -u and -s together. -.TP -.B \-s -Toggle option to process the special Scandinavian characters that on most (?) -terminals in Scandinavia are mapped to ``{|}[\\]''. -Note this may interfere with -u. Best not to use -u and -s together. -.TP -.B \-J -Auto detect NTT JTeX, ASCII pTeX, and upTeX dvi format. -.TP -.B \-N -Display NTT JTeX dvi. -.TP -.B \-A -Display ASCII pTeX dvi. -.TP -.B \-U -Display upTeX dvi. -.TP -.B \-Eenc -Set output Japanese encoding. The enc argument 'e', 's', 'j', and 'u' -denotes EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, ISO-2022-JP, and UTF-8, respectively. -.TP -.B \-bdelim -Print the name of fonts when switching to it (and ending it). The delim -argument is used to delimit the fontname. -.SH FILES -/bin/more \ \ \ \ -probably the default pager. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -PAGER \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -the pager to use. -.br -DVI2TTY \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -can be set to hold command-line options. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -TeX, dvi2ps -.SH AUTHOR -Original Pascal verion: Svante Lindahl, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm -.br -Improved C version: Marcel Mol -.br -marcel@mesa.nl, MESA Consulting -.SH BUGS -Blanks between words get lost quite easy. This is less -likely if you are using a wider output than the default 80. -.PP -Only one file may be specified on the command line. - |
