# platex
pLaTeX is a Japanese version of LaTeX, which runs on pTeX
(a TeX engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting).
This bundle provides the macros and settings needed to generate
the pLaTeX format (named "pLaTeX2e") and some classes.
Note: This is a community edition maintained by
[Japanese TeX Development Community](http://texjp.org),
which forked from the original ASCII edition; see below.
## Repository
This bundle is maintained on GitHub:
https://github.com/texjporg/platex
If you have issues, please let us know from the page above.
## Changes from the original ASCII edition
The macros were originally developed by ASCII Corporation
(a publishing company in Japan).
We, Japanese TeX Development Community, have created a fork
to work with the latest version of TeX Live.
The original ASCII edition, pLaTeX2e 2006/11/10,
was based on pTeX-3.1.10 and LaTeX2e 2005/12/01.
It can be obtained from the link below:
- https://asciidwango.github.io/ptex/base/sources.html#platex
The community edition (this bundle) has the following advantages:
- Fix several bugs in pLaTeX2e format and packages.
- Fix macros which are inconsistent with the latest pTeX
(e.g. \footnote, tabular, \parbox, \underline).
- Support LaTeX2e 2015/01/01 and later versions.
- Add platexrelease.sty. As with the latexrelease package, this
package enables us to use the old versions of pLaTeX2e (from
2006/11/10 the ASCII edition).
See the documents (platex.pdf, pldoc.pdf, platexrelease.pdf)
for more information.
## Documentation
A brief exposition of pLaTeX2e is provided in platex.pdf.
The document can be obtained by executing the following commands:
platex platex.dtx
dvipdfmx platex.dvi
The comprehensive explanation of pLaTeX2e source is included in
pldoc.pdf. If you are interested in typesetting pldoc.tex yourself,
the following commands will be helpful:
platex pldocs.ins
platex Xins.ins
sh mkpldoc.sh
dvipdfmx pldoc.dvi
## Character encoding
All the text files containing Japanese characters in this repository
are encoded in ISO-2022-JP. This is because ISO-2022-JP encoded
texts are most suitable for the traditional pTeX engine.
## License
The bundle may be distributed and/or modified under the terms of
the 3-clause BSD license (see [LICENSE](./LICENSE)).
