Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows
The PracTEX Journal TPJ 2005 No 02, 2005-04-15 Rev. 2005-04-17 Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows David Walden The author of this column wanders through world of TEX, as a non-expert, reporting what he observes and learns, which hopefully will be interesting to other non-expert users of TEX. 1 Introduction This column recounts my experiences looking at and thinking about different ways TEX is set up for users to go through the document-composition to type- setting cycle (input and edit, compile, and view or print). First, I’ll describe my own experience randomly trying various TEX environments. I suspect that some other users have had a similar introduction to TEX; and perhaps other users have just used the environment that was available at their workplace or school. Then I’ll consider some categories for thinking about options in TEX setups. Last, I’ll suggest some follow-on steps. Since I use Microsoft Windows as my computer operating system, this note focuses on environments that are available for Windows.1 2 My random path to choosing a TEX environment 2 I started using TEX in the late 1990s. 1But see my offer in Section 4. 2 While I started using TEX, I switched from TEX to using LATEX as soon as I discovered LATEX existed. Since both TEX and LATEX are operated in the same way, I’ll mostly refer to TEX in this note, since that is the more basic system. c 2005 David C. Walden I don’t quite remember my first setup for trying TEX. -
Producing Beautiful Documents with TEX and LATEX an Extremely Brief Introduction
Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX An Extremely Brief Introduction Lawrence Hubert University of Illinois Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX – p. 1/37 What is TEX and LATEX? TEX is a very mathematically savvy typesetting engine produced in the 1980’s by Donald Knuth from Stanford. It is open-source (which means it is free, and freely available); implemented for every conceivable operating system; it is currently in Version 3.141592, so it is, in effect, now “fixed” forever. Extra Credit: can you tell why it is essentially “fixed”? And what will be the version number when Knuth dies? Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX – p. 2/37 LATEX is a set of macros sitting on top of TEX that makes our task easier. It was produced by Leslie Lamport in the middle 1980’s; it is also open-source and delivered conjointly with any TEX system. The current version is LATEX2e and is under constant development and extension. TEX and LATEX work together, with LATEX helping produce what is called the document mark-up, and TEX then being called upon to do the actual typesetting. Producing Beautiful Documents With TEX and LATEX – p. 3/37 Features and Advantages Why you should use TEX and LATEX— In contrast to word-processing methods such as Word, you do not worry about the visual formatting of your document. You are concerned only about the content. In other words, you separate content from layout. The file you produce is ascii, the simplest you can have with no special symbols; it includes general commands for what you wish to do in the document. -

Chapter 1: What is MiKTEX? 1 1 What is MiKTEX? 1.1 MiKTEX Features MiKTEX is a TEX distribution for Windows (95/98/NT/2000). Its main features include: • Native Windows implementation with support for long file names. • On-the-fly generation of missing fonts. • TDS (TEX directory structure) compliant. • Open Source. • Advanced TEX compiler features: -TEX can insert source file information (aka source specials) into the DVI file. This feature improves Editor/Previewer interaction. -TEX is able to read compressed (gzipped) input files. - The input encoding can be changed via TCX tables. • Previewer features: - Supports graphics (PostScript, BMP, WMF, TPIC, . .) - Supports colored text (through color specials) - Supports PostScript fonts - Supports TrueType fonts - Understands HyperTEX(html:) specials - Understands source (src:) specials - Customizable magnifying glasses • MiKTEX is network friendly: - integrates into a heterogeneous TEX environment - supports UNC file names - supports multiple TEXMF directory trees - uses a file name database for efficient file access - Setup Wizard can be run unattended The MiKTEX distribution consists of the following components: • TEX: The traditional TEX compiler. -
Tugboat, Volume 33 (2012), No. 1 53 TEX on Windows: Miktex Or TEX Live? Joseph Wright on Windows, There Are Two Actively-Develop
TUGboat, Volume 33 (2012), No. 1 53 TEX on Windows: MiKTEX or TEX Live? A reminder that MiKTEX and TEX Live are not the only choices. W32TEX (Kakuto, 2012) is popular Joseph Wright in the far east. As well as being a TEX system in On Windows, there are two actively-developed free its own right, it is the source of the Windows binar- TEX systems with similar coverage: MiKTEX (Schenk, ies for TEX Live, and TEX Live acquires more CJK 2011) and TEX Live (TEX Users Group, 2011). The support from it every year. For users focussed on good news is that there is a lot of similarity between ConTEXt, ConTEXt standalone (Pragma ADE, 2012) the two systems, so for most users both systems is probably the best way to go (it uses the W32TEX are equally usable, and (LA)TEX documents are port- binaries on Windows). There are also the commer- able between them. However, there are differences cial options, for example BaKoMa TEX (BaKoMa and depending on what you need these might be Soft., 2011) or PCTEX (Personal TEX, Inc., 2011). important. However, for most users it comes down to a choice between the ‘big two’. • The default settings install everything for TEX Live, but only a minimal set of packages for References MiKT X. MiKT X will then install extra pack- E E BaKoMa Soft. “BaKoMa T X 9.77”. ages ‘on the fly’, while T X Live does not (there E E http://www.bakoma-tex.com/, 2011. is a package to do that in TEX Live, but it is aimed at GNU/Linux users). -

Installation
APPENDIX A Installation In case you do not already have a LATEX installation, in Sections A.1 and A.2, we describe how to install LATEX on your computer, a PC or a Mac. The installation is much easier if you obtain TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group, TUG (see Section E.2). It contains both the TEX implementations we discuss. No installation is given for UNIX computers. The attraction of UNIX to its users is the incredibly large number of options, from the UNIX dialect, to the shell, the editor, and so on. A typical UNIX user downloads the code and compiles the system. This is obviously beyond the scope of this book. Nevertheless, TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group supplies the compiled (binaries) of LATEX for a number of UNIX variants. First read Chapter 1, so that in this Appendix you recognize the terminology we introduce there. I will assume that you become sufficiently familiar with your LATEX distribution to be able to perform the editing cycle with the sample documents. 490 Appendix A Installation A.1 LATEX on a PC On a PC, most mathematicians use MiKTeX and the editor WinEdt. So it seems appro- priate that we start there. A.1.1 Installing MiKTeX If you made a donation to MiKTeX or if you have the TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group, then you have a CD or DVD with the MiKTeX installer. Installation then is in one step and very fast. In case you do not have this CD or DVD, we show how to install from the Internet. -
Minimal Steps to Typeset Vietnamese
Minimal steps to typeset Vietnamese Hàn Thế Thành 14th May 2013 This document tries to answer the question that has been often asked: How can I typeset just a few Vietnamese words in my document, which is in English (or French/German/...)? The answer depends very much on a particular scenario, however I assume that you are in a hurry, you don’t want to bother with issues like how to display and write Vietnamese in your TEX editor. You only have a few Vietnamese words in your LATEX file and you would like to see them properly displayed in your final PDF or PS file. 1. As the very first requirement, you must have some minimal LATEX support for Vietnamese: • Check whether you have VnTEX installed. VnTEX is included in teTEX, MikTEX and TEXLive. • If the above is not the case, try to download and install VnTEX by following the instructions at http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex. • If you can’t install VnTEX, you must have at least Latin Modern fonts installed. Then download http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex-support/t5enc.def and put it to the directory where your LATEX file is. • If all the above fails, try to get help from someone else to solve at least one of those issues. 2. Make sure you have package fontenc loaded with T5 encoding. For example, if your document contains European languague(s) only, then you should have a line saying \usepackage[T1,T5]{fontenc} in your preamble. 3. An example how to input Vietnamese words may look like this: {\fontencoding{T5}\selectfont Ti\'\ecircumflex{}ng Vi\d\ecircumflex{}t} which gives the output as Ti¸ng Vi»t. -

Preface This User’s Guide brings together in one document everything needed for the day-to-day use of Version 3 of the Lout document formatting system. There are three other documents describing Lout: the Expert’s Guide [5], which you need if you want to add new features to Lout; a journal paper on the design and implementation of Lout [3]; and a set of overhead transparencies [4]that cover much the same ground as this Guide. These documents are all distributed with the software. Lout is distributed free of charge under the GNU Public License. The primary source is ftp://ftp.it.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout containing a gzipped tar file of the current version, and various other things including a PostScript version of this guide. The distribution contains source code, libraries,documentation, license, and installation instructions. A mailing list has been set up for discussion of all topics related to Lout. To subscribe (or unsubscribe), visit http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lout-users After subscribing, to post an item send email to [email protected]; it will be forwarded to all subscribers via email.

ITRANS53 Installation Notes with MiKTEX 2.9 John Washburn 20130701 MiKTEX is a distribution of LATEX for win32. It can be downloaded from http://miktex.org/2.9/setup. 1. Install the latest version of MiKTEX As of this writing the latest version of MiKTEX is 2.9. The default location into which MiKTEX is installed is: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9. If this is not the location to which you have installed MiKTEX then note the installation directory for use by the steps below. 2. Install all the font packages available through MiKTEX (a) Start ! MiKTEX ! MiKTEX Maintenance ! MiKTEX Maintenance Settings. (b) Select the Packages tab from the MiKTEX Options dialog box. (c) Check the checkbox: Fonts, until the box has a simple check with no background color. A simple check indicates all MiKTEX options within that category will be selected. Installing all the fonts will cause the outline font packages: indic-type1 and devangari, to be installed. 3. Download itrans53-win32.zip from http://www.aczoom.com/files/itrans/53/itrans53-win32.zip 4. Extract the contents of itrans53-win32.zip to some temporary location such as: c:\temp\itrans53 5. Create a file named install.bat file within the temporary location: c:\temp\itrans53 The contents of the install.bat batch file are listed below. If the installa- tion of MiKTEX was not to the directory: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9, then change the value of MiktexRoot to reflect the actual location of the MiKTEX installation. 6. Open an MS-DOS command window which is running as administator.
