Then hit the Cancel button - this %% procedure sets OzTeX's working folder to the one containing abc.tex. %% Next, select iniTeX from the TeX menu, and type: %% %% &latex mylatex.ltx abc %% %% This should make a format file mylatex.fmt which you can save in the %% same folder as the file you're working on. %% %% To use the new format, put this at the very start of the very first %% line of your document: %% %% %&mylatex %% %% Further Notes %% %% The file abc.tex must contain a line *just* with %% \begin{document} %% Everything up to (but not including) the \begin{document} will %% be saved in the format and not executed in subsequent runs. %% %% If you are modifying the document (or working on a similar document) %% you may wish to add new commands to your document preamble. %% The `mylatex' format normally skips the whole preamble (believing %% it to be pre-loaded) and so such new commands do not take effect. %% You could re-make the format, preloading the new preamble, but that %% might be inconvenient to do every time, and so an alternative scheme %% has been introduced. %% If the preamble contains a comment mylatex (ie a line just %% containing a % white space and the word mylatex) then the mylatex %% format will start reading the preable at that point so any new %% commands can be placed after such a comment and they will be %% executed. %% -------------------------------------------------------------------- %% %%\RequirePackage{etex}% RequirePackage may be used before the class %% %% In principle \openout stream= filename need not be space terminated, %% and need not be immediate, but this covers \makeindex \makeglossary %% and index package's \newindex which are all the cases of \openout %% that occur before \begin{document} that I could see. %% Thanks to Ross Moore for pointing out \AtBeginDocument is too late %% eg changebar package *closes* the stream in \AtBeginDocument, so need %% to make sure it is opened before that.
