NAME
ptex, uptex, eptex, euptex - Japanese "Publishing TeX"
SYNOPSIS
ptex [options] [&format] [file|\commands]
DESCRIPTION
pTeX (ptex) is a TeX engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting, including features related to line breaking rules, inter-character spacing and vertical writing. It was first developed by ASCII Corporation, in the aim of providing a Japanese TeX which can be used for commercial publishing. For pTeX, the character set available is limited to JIS X 0208, namely JIS level-1 and level-2.
upTeX (uptex) is a Unicode-enabled pTeX with extensions for better handling of CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) multilingual documents. It has been developed by Takuji Tanaka since 2007.
e-pTeX (eptex) is a merge of e-TeX and pTeX.
e-upTeX (euptex) is a merge of e-TeX and upTeX.
In the following sections, we refer to these engines as (e-)(u)pTeX.
(e-)(u)pTeX’s handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of the other TeX programs in the web2c implementation.
OPTIONS
Here we list
only additions/deletions of command line options which are
specific to (e-)(u)pTeX. For (u)pTeX, other options are
similar to TeX. For e-(u)pTeX, other options are similar to
e-TeX.
Additions (supported by ptexenc library):
-kanji string
Sets the input Japanese Kanji code. The string can be either euc (EUC-JP), jis (ISO-2022-JP), sjis (Shift_JIS), and utf8 (UTF-8). For (e-)upTeX, uptex is also allowed.
-kanji-internal string
Sets the internal Kanji code. The string can be either euc, and sjis. For (e-)upTeX, uptex is also allowed.
