% == introduction == % % This is 'texexec.ini', the file used by texexec to determine where % to find files, what TeX to use, what flags to pass, etc. Although % TeXexec tries to locate things itself, a little help is sometimes % needed. One can influence texexec by setting some variables. These % are only needed when the automatic determined settings fail. % % == interfacing == % % UsedInterfaces nl,en the formats generated with --make % UserInterface nl the default format used % % == binaries == % % TeXExecutable pdfetex the TeX binary to use % MpExecutable mpost the MetaPost binary to use % MpToTeXExecutable mpto the MetaPost to TeX converter % DviToMpExecutable dvitomp the DVI to MetaPost converter % % == Scripts == % % DviSpecialScript dvispec the DVI special filter script % % == flags == % % TeXFormatFlag -fmt= the format introducer % TeXVirginFlag -ini the format generation switch % % == paths == % % TeXFormatPath texmf/... fmt files % ConTeXtPath texmf/tex/context/base sources % SetupPath texmf/tex/base/user cont-sys/usr file % TeXScriptsPath texmf/context/perltk scripts % TeXFontsPath texmf font files % % MpFormatPath TeXFormatPath mem files % % == the main shell setting == % % As shown below, one can define his/her own sections.
