<head>JadeTeX</head>
<p>This is a TeX macro package for processing the output from
	  Jade/OpenJade in TeX (-t) mode. You can download it
from Sourceforge; <xptr url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jadetex/"/>.

      <head>Introduction</head>

      <p>This documents is based on a note by FC describing his
	experience installing JadeTeX with OpenJade 1.3 and teTeX 1.06
	(on Unix). It has since been expanded and checked by SR and
	SP. It is aimed to people who have perhaps some experience
	using TeX and LaTeX, enough to write up technical reports
	using simple macros, but know little or nothing about format
	files or the particulars of the TeX distribution structure,
	and consequently have a rough time with JadeTeX&#8230;</p>
	<p>This document relates to JadeTeX version 2.11 or later.</p>

      <p>To use JadeTeX, you first of all should compile and install
	OpenJade. The  resulting <name>openjade</name> executable, used
	with the <Value>-t tex</Value> flag, will format an
	SGML/XML file and yield a TeX output file. Using
	<name>jadetex</name> or <name>pdfjadetex</name>, you can
	transform this into DVI or PDF;
	from DVI, you can use a program like
	<name>dvips</name> to get PostScript output. This note describes
	how to build and install the former two programs,
	<name>jadetex</name> and <name>pdfjadetex</name>.</p>
    </div>

    <div>
      <head>Increasing TeX capacities</head>

      <p>The TeX output file uses a macro package, JadeTeX, built on
      top of LaTeX, just as LaTeX is a macro package sitting on top of
      plain TeX. It is probably possible to just stick an
      <Input>\input</Input> at the top of your
      <Filespec>.tex</Filespec> file and use the JadeTeX macros this
      way, but that would be slow since TeX would need to parse and
      compile the macro definitions every time you format your
      <Filespec>.tex</Filespec> file. So what we do instead is to use
      TeX (actually, <name>initex</name>) to read in the LaTeX
      format, followed by the JadeTeX package, once, and dump the
      compiled image to what is called a <q>format file.</q>
      This is the same way that LaTeX is usually employed.  Once the
      format file is built and installed, it is easy to arrange for
      TeX to read it in quickly and automatically when you process a
      <Filespec>.tex</Filespec> file.</p>

      <p>But, as ever, there are complications, relating to TeX's
	capacity restrictions. TeX is designed to use a fixed amount
	of resources to process documents; for example, there is a
	maximum number of strings that can be allocated, and a maximum
	stack size. If a processing run exceeds the default limits,
	TeX will complain and refuse to continue. Unfortunately,
	OpenJade's TeX backend tends to exceed these default
	limits.</p>

      <p>Fortunately, though, there is no need to recompile your TeX
	binary. If you are using teTeX (or any other Web2c-based
	distribution) there will be a file called
	<Filespec>texmf.cnf</Filespec> in your installation which sets
	the capacity parameters and is consulted every time TeX is
	run. By adding the right parameter settings here, you can
	ensure that JadeTeX will be unlikely to run out of memory.</p>

      <p>Where is <Filespec>texmf.cnf</Filespec>? You can find it in the
	<Filespec>web2c</Filespec> directory under
	your <Filespec>texmf</Filespec> tree... which begs the question, where
	is <Filespec>texmf</Filespec>? The most
	straightforward way to find it is to make sure all the TeX executables
	are in your <Filespec>PATH</Filespec>; then do:
	<Input>kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXMFMAIN'</Input>
<Output>/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf</Output>
	and it will
	respond with the location of your texmf tree. As you can see, it is also
	known as <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN</Filespec>, which is how I shall
	refer to it in the sequel.</p>

      <p> If for some reason <name>kpsewhich</name> is not in your
	<Filespec>PATH</Filespec>,
	and you don't know where it is, here are some likely locations:
	<list>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/share/texmf</Filespec></item>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/local/share/texmf</Filespec></item>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/local/teTeX/texmf</Filespec></item>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/local/lib/teTeX/texmf</Filespec></item>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/local/lib/texmf</Filespec></item>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/lib/texmf</Filespec></item>
	  <item><Filespec>/usr/lib/teTeX/texmf</Filespec></item>
	</list></p>

      <p>In a minute we are going to modify <Filespec>texmf.cnf</Filespec> to
	increase the capacities, then build the JadeTeX format file and install
	the JadeTeX executable(s). You may have a command
        <name>hugelatex</name>, a version of latex with greater
	capacity settings than the usual one, which is named simply
	<name>latex</name>. If so, build your format file
	using <name>hugelatex</name> rather than
      <name>latex</name>, so that JadeTeX inherits the `huge'
	settings. Otherwise, make sure your latex is big.
	In addition, if you make any changes to the literate source of the
	JadeTeX macro package (see below), a normal <name>latex</name>
	may not do.</p>

      <p>First we need to update texmf.cnf to ensure that
	<name>latex</name> really is
	<emph>huge</emph>. Take a look at the top of the file. 
It will probably say:
<Program
>%original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
% (If you change or delete `original' on the previous line, the
% distribution won't install its version over yours.)
</Program>
If it says 
<Program
>% TeX Live texmf.cnf
</Program>
then you can skip all this and proceed to the next section, as TeX
      Live is already set up for JadeTeX</p>

<p>
	If you have an `original',  follow those directions and delete the string
	<Input>original</Input> to ensure that
	future upgrades won't obliterate your changes.</p>
      
      <p>In the latter half of the file, you will find the capacity settings,
	which look something like this:

	<Program
>pool_size = 125000
pool_size.context = 750000</Program>

	Here, <Input>pool_size</Input> is the name of the parameter in
	both cases, but the second one is qualified with
	<Input>.context</Input>, which indicates that this setting will be
	preferred when using the ConTeXt macro package. We need to make similar
	accomodations not only for <name>latex</name> but also
	<name>jadetex</name> and <name>pdfjadetex</name>.
	Unfortunately, we don't know the minimal required values for every
	parameter and some of these values are probably
	ridiculously high, but no matter ...

	<Program
>% latex settings
main_memory.latex = 1100000
param_size.latex = 1500
stack_size.latex = 1500
hash_extra.latex = 15000
string_vacancies.latex = 45000
pool_free.latex = 47500
nest_size.latex = 500
save_size.latex = 5000
pool_size.latex = 500000
max_strings.latex = 55000
font_mem_size.latex= 400000

% jadetex &amp; pdfjadetex
main_memory.jadetex = 1500000
param_size.jadetex = 1500
stack_size.jadetex = 1500
hash_extra.jadetex = 50000
string_vacancies.jadetex = 45000
pool_free.jadetex = 47500
nest_size.jadetex = 500
save_size.jadetex = 5000
pool_size.jadetex = 500000
max_strings.jadetex = 55000

main_memory.pdfjadetex = 2500000
param_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
stack_size.pdfjadetex = 1500
hash_extra.pdfjadetex = 50000
string_vacancies.pdfjadetex = 45000
pool_free.pdfjadetex = 47500
nest_size.pdfjadetex = 500
save_size.pdfjadetex = 5000
pool_size.pdfjadetex = 500000
max_strings.pdfjadetex = 55000
</Program>

	Add these to the end of the file, or wherever makes you happy.</p>
      
      <p>Now let's build some format files. Under
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/latex/config</Filespec>,
	you will find the files necessary to rebuild <name>latex</name>.
	Copy them somewhere temporary and go there:
<Screen>
cp -R /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config /tmp
cd /tmp/config</Screen>

	Now do this:

	<Screen>tex -ini -progname=latex latex.ini</Screen>

	This will produce a file <Filespec>latex.fmt</Filespec>
	in the same directory. Rename this to
	<Filespec>latex.fmt</Filespec>,
	then become root and put it in
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/web2c</Filespec>. This
	is where all the format files are kept. (You can delete the other copied
	files from <Filespec>config</Filespec> afterwards.)

	<Screen>mv latex.fmt /usr/share/texmf/web2c</Screen>
      </p>

      <p>Now just create a symbolic link from <name>tex</name> to
	<name>latex</name>:

	<Screen>ln -s /usr/bin/tex /usr/local/bin/latex</Screen>

	When <name>tex</name> is invoked, it looks at the name
	<Filespec>X</Filespec> it was invoked with, then loads the format
	file <Filespec>X.fmt</Filespec> from
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/web2c</Filespec> before
	it starts processing the document. So creating this symbolic link is all
	that is needed to create the <name>latex</name>
	executable.</p>
    </div>

    <div>
      <head>Creating the format files</head>
      <p>Next, take a look at your OpenJade distribution. Under the directory
	<Filespec>dsssl</Filespec> you will find the files necessary to build
	jadetex and pdfjadetex, including a Makefile. Now become root and just do:

	<Screen>make  install</Screen>

	This creates <Filespec>jadetex.fmt</Filespec> and
	<Filespec>pdfjadetex.fmt</Filespec>, puts them in
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/web2c</Filespec> for you
	(using <name>kpsewhich</name> to find
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN</Filespec>), and installs a few other
	auxiliary files under
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/jadetex</Filespec>.</p>
      <p>All that's left to do is to create the links:

	<Screen>ln -s /usr/bin/tex /usr/bin/jadetex
ln -s /usr/bin/pdftex /usr/bin/pdfjadetex</Screen>
 (changing the location of the binary directory to wherever your TeX is)
	and run <name>mktexlsr</name> so that your TeX distribution becomes
	aware of the newly installed files in
	<Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/jadetex</Filespec>.

	<Screen>mktexlsr</Screen></p>

    </div>

    <div>
      <head>Testing the installation</head>
      <p>Finally, test your installation using the demonstration files in
	that directory:

	<Screen>openjade -t tex -d demo.dsl demo.sgm
jadetex demo.tex
pdfjadetex demo.tex</Screen>

	You're done!</p>

<list type="gloss">
	<label>
	  I installed JadeTeX, but when I run it, it complains that a
	    file named <Filespec>unicode.sty</Filespec> (or
	    <Filespec>dsssl.def</Filespec>, etc) can't be found. What did I do
	    wrong?
	</label>
	<item>
	  You didn't run the <name>mktexlsr</name>, so
	    <name>kpathsea</name> doesn't know about the newly installed 
	  files.
	</item>

	  <label>
	    I don't like JadeTeX's default behavior in some situations.
	      How do I modify it?
	  </label>
	  <item>
	  If for some reason you want to modify the JadeTeX macro
	    package, modify the file <Filespec>jadetex.dtx</Filespec>. This is
	    the literate source for the format file and other files installed
	    under
	    <Filespec>$TEXMFMAIN/tex/jadetex</Filespec>.
	  To format it, use <name>latex</name>:

      <Screen>latex jadetex.dtx</Screen>

      You will get tons of overfull hboxes but if you are using a nice
      big latex, it will work.

	  Formatting the batch file <Filespec>jadetex.ins</Filespec>
	    will produce stripped sources
	    (<Filespec>dsssl.def</Filespec> and
	    <Filespec>jadetex.ltx</Filespec>),
	    which can be compiled into format files as before:

	    <Screen>latex jadetex.ins
make -f Makefile.jadetex</Screen>
	  
	  </item>

	  <label>
	    What fonts can I use?
	  </label>
	  <item>
	    Following is the names of the font families supported at the
	      time of writing. Of course you must actually have these fonts
	      installed to format the document (but not to produce the TeX
	      output).

	    Why doesn't hyphenation work?
	  </label>
	  <item>
	    Remember that your text must be fully justified
	      (<Input>quadding: #t</Input>), hyphenation must be on,
	      <Input>hyphenation?: #t</Input>, and a current language must
	      be selected (e.g., <Input>language: 'EN</Input>) for JadeTeX
	      to perform hyphenation.

	    I'm using Norman Walsh's DocBook stylesheets and my
	      footnotes are coming up at the end of the document rather than
	      at the foot of each page. Why?
	  </label>
	  <item>
	    The DocBook stylesheets need to be made aware that you are
	      using the TeX backend. Add <Value>-V tex-backend</Value> to
	      your <name>openjade</name> command-line.
