ptex2pdf[.lua]: Convert Japanese TeX documents to pdf Author: Norbert Preining Main purpose of the script is easy support of Japanese typesetting engines in TeXworks. As TeXworks typesetting setup does not allow for multistep processing, this script runs one of the ptex based programs (ptex, uptex, eptex, platex, uplatex) followed by dvipdfmx. Usage: [texlua] ptex2pdf[.lua] { option | basename[.tex] } ... options: -v version -h help --help print full help (installation, TeXworks setup) -e use eptex class of programs -u use uptex class of programs -l use latex based formats -s stop at dvi -i retain intermediate files -ot '' extra options for TeX -od '' extra options for dvipdfmx Installation ------------ Copy the file ptex2pdf.lua into a directory where scripts are found, that is for example TLROOT/texmf-dist/scripts/ptex2pdf/ (where TLROOT is for example the root of your TeX Live installation) Unix: create a link in one of the bin dirs to the above file, in the TeX Live case: TLROOT/bin/ARCH/ptex2pdf -> ../../texmf-dist/scripts/ptex2pdf/ptex2pdf.lua Windows: create a copy of runscript.exe as ptex2pdf.exe, in the TeX Live case: copy TLROOT/bin/win32/runscript.exe TLROOT/bin/win32/ptex2pdf.exe TeXworks setup -------------- Under Preferences > Typesetting add new entries, for example: for ptex files: Name: pTeX to pdf Program: ptex2pdf Arguments: -ot $synctexoption $fullname for platex files: Name: pLaTeX to pdf Program: ptex2pdf Arguments: -l -ot $synctexoption $fullname for uptex files: Name: upTeX to pdf Program: ptex2pdf Arguments: -u -ot $synctexoption $fullname for uplatex files: Name: upLaTeX to pdf Program: ptex2pdf Arguments: -l -u -ot $synctexoption $fullname If you need special kanji encodings for one of these programs, add the respective -kanji option after the $synctexoption. Example: for platex files in SJIS encoding: Name: pLaTeX/SJIS to pdf Program: ptex2pdf Arguments: -l -ot $synctexoption -kanji=sjis $fullname Development place ----------------- https://git.gitorious.org/tlptexlive/ptex2pdf.git Copyright and License --------------------- Originally based on musixtex.lua from Bob Tennent.
