PROJECT VPE -============== -VPE deals with source specials for pdf files: clicking -on special annotations will launch an editor with the -source file at the source line. - -The project supports three routes to pdf files: - -* VTeX/Linux route: - MicroPress' VTeX is able to insert specials by itself. - It smoothly works under Windows. But the AcrobatReader - versions under Linux/Unix require additional work, see - section H "Linux launch details", that is done by the - perl script `vpe.pl'. - -* pdfTeX route: - For Han The Thanh's pdfTeX under Linux/Unix or Windows - the package `vpe.sty' inserts the specials with the - help of the perl script `vpe.pl'. - The catalog entry `/AcroForm' is added, so that - the `revert' menu entry of AR4.05 is enabled for - easier reloading, if the pdf file has changed. - Users of AR4.05 can also try option `form' of - the package to get nicer source special markers, - but the memory consumption is higher. - -* dvips route: - As in the pdfTeX route package `vpe.sty' inserts the - specials with the help of the perl script `vpe.pl'. - Also the `/AcroForm' entry is added, but the - `form' option is not implemented. - -B.

FILES -======== -The project `vpe' consists of three files: - -vpe(.pl): Perl script, used by all routes. The extension `.pl' - may be omitted for installation purposes. -vpe.sty: LaTeX2e package for pdftex and dvips routes. -vpe.txt: Documentation, the file you are reading. - -Help and temporary files, generated by use: -myfile.tex.vpe: Symbol link from source file `myfile.tex' - to the perl script, required for the source - specials launch actions in the pdf file. - Each source file need a link. -myfile.vpe: Temporary file for data exchange between - TeX and the perl script called by \write18{}. -vpe.cfg: Configuration file of package `vpe.sty'. - -D. REQUIREMENTS -=============== -All routes: -* Perl5 (version 5 of the perl interpreter). - -pdfTeX, dvips routes: -* \write18 feature (--shell-escape) -* LaTeX2e - -pdfTeX route: -* pdfTeX >= v0.14 - -E. INSTALLATION -=============== -1. TeX directory structure (TDS): - The files - `vpe.txt' (documentation) - `vpe.sty' (pdf(e)tex, pdf(e)latex, (e)tex, (e)latex) - go to - texmf/doc/latex/oberdiek/vpe.txt - texmf/tex/latex/oberdiek/vpe.sty - -2. Perl script `vpe.pl': - - Unix - * Your are allowed to rename `vpe.pl' to `vpe': - mv vpe.pl vpe - * Ensure that the execute permission is set: - chmod +x vpe - * Move the file to a directory where the shell can find it - (environment variable PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin/). - * The environment variables TEXEDIT and VPE are - looked for the editor call, eg: - export VPE='xterm -e joe +%d %s' (bash) - %d will be replaced by the line number and - %s by the file name. - - Windows (Dos) - * Methods for calling by typing the script name without extension - and perl interpreter: - a) If your perl distribution provides a pl2exe program, - use it to generate `vpe.exe'. - Advantage: I/O redirection works. - b) A good method is a dos program of John Dallman: - #!perl.exe (versions below 4) - hbperl.exe (version 4) - http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/JDALLMAN/hbp_403.zip - Move thumbpdf.pl in a PERLLIB directory and copy the - exe program to `thumbpdf.exe'. Then the program looks - for the perl interpreter, the script and calls them. - Advantage: I/O redirection works. - c) Windows NT 4.0 users can use associated file types: - SET PATHEXT=.pl;%PATHEXT% - See perl win32 faq "How do I associate Perl scripts with perl?": - http://www.activestate.com/support/faqs/win32/perlwin32faq4.html - Disadvantage: I/O redirection does not work. - d) 4DOS: SET .PL=c:/bin/perl.exe - See perl win32 faq "How can I get Perl to run a Perl script at - the 4DOS command line by typing the name of the script without - the extension or "perl", just like a regular exe file?": - http://www.activestate.com/support/faqs/win32/perlwin32faq1.html - e) Convert the perl script to a batch file `vpe.bat', if your - distribution provides `pl2bat.bat'. - Disadvantage: I/O redirection does not work. - Many of this methods are listed in the perl win32 faq - "What's the equivalent of the shebang ("#!") syntax for Win32?": - http://www.activestate.com/support/faqs/win32/perlwin32faq4.html - * Running the perl interpreter directly with the perl script: - perl vpe.pl ... - Use this method only, if the other methods fail. - Then you have to configure the command name in the - configuration file `vpe.cfg': - \vpesetup{command={perl vpe.pl}} - * The editor application and the syntax of the paramters - for the editor can be configured by \vpesetup in - the configuration file `vpe.cfg': - \vpesetup{application={pfe.exe},parameters={-g $d $s}} - $d will be replaced by the line number, - $s by the file name. - -F. HOWTO -======== - -F.1 VTeX/Linux --------------- -Do not use the package `vpe.sty', the VTeX/Linux route -is only based on the perl script. - -a) Enable VTeX's source special generation with option `-*', - eg: -*20 -b) Run the perl script on the generated pdf file. It - fixes the launch actions and creates the necessary symbol - links (See section H "Linux launch details"): - vpe myfile.pdf - -F.2 PdfTeX and dvips --------------------- -a) Load the package `vpe.sty', eg: - \usepackage{vpe} -b) Produce the pdf file, but with enabled \write18{} feature - for system commands. This can be achieved by setting the - command line option `--shell-escape' for pdfTeX or TeX. - An alternative is the boolean variable `shell_escape' - in the configuration file `texmf.cnf'. For security - reasons I recommend the command line option. -c) Only Linux: After the first call it is possible that - the symbol links are not created yet (depends on write - puffer effects). Then it can be done by envoking the - perl script manually: - vpe myfile.pdf - -G. USER INTERFACE -================= - -G.1 Perl script ---------------- -General options: ---help: print help and usage screen. ---verbose: print additional informations. - -Options that influence the symbol links: ---force: force symbol links (`ln -f' is called). ---delete: remove the symbol links for the source files, - mentioned in the pdf file: - vpe --delete myfile.pdf - -Internal options, called by the package `vpe.sty': ---system: detects the system (linux or win) and writes - the information in the data exchange file: - vpe --system myfile.vpe ---sty: generates the absolute file name of the - source file `file.tex', get the maximum - line number and writes the informations - in the data exchange file `myfile.vpe': - vpe --sty file.tex myfile.vpe ---progname: this option sets the program name option - of `kpsewhich', called by the --sty option: - vpe --sty --progname=pdfelatex file.tex myfile.vpe - -G.2 Package ------------ -There are three places, where the options can be specified -in evaluation order: -a) Configuration file `vpe.cfg` with \vpesetup. -b) LaTeX package options: local in \usepackage or - global in \documentclass. -c) Some options can be set by \vpesetup after the - package is loaded. - -`active', `inactive' (place: abc, default: active) - Enables/disables insertion of source specials - -`debug' (place: a, default: off) - Verbose messages for debugging purposes. - -`dupes', `nodupes' (place: abc, default: dupes) - Option `nodupes' suppresses source specials that point - to the same file and line. - -`linux', `unix', `win', `dos' (place: ab, default: automatic) -`system=linux|win' (place b) - The format of the launch action differs in the win and unix - case. Therefore the packages has to know, which kind it - should generate. If none of the options is given, then - the packages calls the perl script with option `--system' - to get the information. - (Recommendation: set in `vpe.cfg' to save time.) - -`form', `noform' (place: ab, default: noform) - Users of AR4.05 can try this option to get nicer - source special marks. Only the pdfTeX route is - supported currently. - -`acroform', `noacroform' (place: ab, default: acroform) - With forms AR4.05 enables the `revert' menu entry, - so that changed files can more easily be reloaded. - If option `form' is used, the /AcroForm dictionary - can be suppressed with `noacroform', when another - /AcroForm is already provided. - -`command=...' (place: bc, default: vpe) - Call of the perl script for the \write18{} feature. - -`progname=...' (place: bc, default: automatic) - TeX cannot provide absolute path names of files, - therefore the package calls the perl script to ask - `kpsewhich'. This program needs the program/format - name in order to select the correct search path - variables. Automatically the package is able to - distinguish between `latex', `elatex', `pdflatex' - and `pdfelatex'. For other names this option has - to be set. - -`application=...' (place: bc, default: pfe.exe) -`parameters=...' (place: bc, default: `-g $d $s') - These options configure the editor call for windows: - `application' contains the call of the editor, - `parameters' the parameters for the editor. - $d will be replaced by the line number and - $s by the file name. - -`width', `height', `depth', `color', `border', -`flag', `attr' (place: bc, default: see vpe.sty) - With these options the launch annotation - can be configured (`noform' version). - Because of the beta status of the options, - they can change in future, for details see - the package source. - -`everyhbox', `noeveryhbox' (place: ab, default: noeveryhbox) - By this option a lot of source specials are inserted, - but there is a high risk to get a lot of "Underfull - \hbox" warnings. - -`no' (place: a, default: ) - For the introduction of source specials many - internal commands are redefined. This can cause - problems with incompatible packages and macros. - The redefinitions that cause problems can be - disabled. Current list of features: - input, @input, include, - newpage, clearpage, - everypar, document, @item, @doendpe, - @arrayparboxrestore, @xsect, @afterheading, - @setminipage, @startsection, - everymath, everyhbox, - newline, mbox, TILDE, - ref, cite, - item, trivlist, endtrivlist, - @bsphack, @esphack, @Esphack, @xaddvskip, - @tabularcr, @arraycr, - hrule, vrule - -H. LINUX LAUNCH DETAILS -======================= -It is quite easy to launch a program with parameters -with a link annotation under Windows, because -AcrobatReader knows a /Win dictionary, eg: - << /Type Annot - /Subtype /Link - /Rect [100 700 120 720] - /A << /Type /Action - /S /Launch - /Win << /F (pfe.exe) - /P (-g 21 c:/myhome/myfile.tex) - >> - >> - >> -A corresponding /Unix dictionary is not yet defined -in the pdf specification and not implemented in AR. -Therefore only the file name can be used to store -the parameter informations, eg: - /A << /Type /Action - /S /Launch - /F (//.////../myhome/myfile.tex.vpe) - >> - -The file that will be launched is a symbol link -to the script `vpe(.pl)', eg: - ln -s /usr/local/bin/vpe /myhome/myfile.tex.vpe - -The script scans its calling name, the name of the -symbol link, to extract the parameters for the -editor call: -* The initial part encodes the line number, -* the rest without the extension `.vpe' is the - file name. -* Condition: The path names are absolute path names. - -The coding algorithm for the line number: -* The decimal digits of the number are separated - and ended by the sequence "./". -* Each decimal digit of the number is converted - to a sequence of slashes, optionally followed - by a period. The count of slashes is the - number. With the period, the count have to be - incremented by 5. -* The conversion of the first digit always starts - with a slash to ensure a absolute path names, - eg: "5" is converted to "/////", but not as - first digit it can be shrunk to ".". -Examples (spaces only for clarifying): - 2: // ./ - 6: /. ./ - 9: ////. ./ - 11: / ./ / ./ - 28: // ./ ///. ./ (see example above) - 505: ///// ./ ./ . ./ - -I. AUTHOR -========= -Heiko Oberdiek -Email: oberdiek@ruf.uni-freiburg.de - -J. QUESTIONS, BUG REPORTS -========================= -If you have questions, problems with `vpe', error reports, -if you have improvements or want to have additional features, -please send them to the author. - -Because I do not have to much time, I cannot garantee -that I will fix all problems and add all suggested features. - -Regarding bug reports I have some wishes: -* Please only send a minimal test file. - I do not have the time to check hundreds of lines - and pages. - Strip the minimal file off all unnecessary packages, - macros, and stuff. - But the minimal file should be complete, so that I can - immediately call latex on it. -* Please no .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf files. - I have a lot of TeX and related programs installed - and can generate them in the most cases. -* Please get all versions numbers of packages and - programs (examples see below). Only the - distribution version does not help, so I do not - have MikTeX installed and I am using a very old - teTeX and even emTeX, but almost always the latest - pdfTeX binaries. Therefore the pdfTeX version is - much more important. - Hints: - * With "\listfiles" LaTeX prints the versions of the - used files at the end of the .log file. - * Many programs know options like: - --version, -v, -help, -h, -? - -My environment for developing and testing: -* linux, debian 2.0 -* perl 5.004_04 -* VTeX/Linux: 7.06 -* pdfTeX: 0.14g-pretest-20000912 -* TeX: 3.14159, Web2C 7.2 -* dvips 5.78 -* Ghostscript 6.01 - -K.
