Edit File: mylatex.ltx

%%% %%% mylatex.ltx %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% %%% Use this file to make a format based on the preamble of any LaTeX %%% file %%% %%% There are no restrictions on the distribution or modification of %%% this file, except that other people should not attempt to alter %%% the master copy on the ctan archives. %%% %%% Making the format %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% %%% Given a LaTeX file `abc.tex', use initex as follows: %%% %%% initex &latex mylatex.ltx abc (Generic TeX) %%% initex \&latex mylatex.ltx abc (unix and other TeX's) %%% tex /i &latex mylatex.ltx abc (emtex) %%% %%% If you are on a Mac or using some shell that makes it inconvenient %%% to use a command line such as the above examples then you may %%% make a file `mylatex.tex' with the single line %%% \input mylatex.ltx abc %%% and then pass the file mylatex.tex to your (ini)tex shell to produce %%% the format, ie something equivalent to initex &latex mylatex.tex. %%% %%% If you are using OzTeX, see the separate instructions below. %%% %%% This should make a format file mylatex.fmt which you can then use %%% as follows %%% %%% Using the new format %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% %%% tex &mylatex abc (generic TeX) %%% virtex \&mylatex abc (Unix TeX) %%% %%% This will process your document, abc.tex, just as LaTeX does, but %%% quicker as the contents of the preamble will be stored in the %%% format file and will not need to be run each time. %%% %%% If (vir)tex fails to find your mylatex.fmt then it is not searching %%% in the current directory, either modify your TEXFORMATS path (or %%% equivalent) to search `.' or (on unix/dos) use ./ as in: %%% virtex \&./mylatex abc %%% %%% Making and using the format with OzTeX %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% %%% Given a LaTeX file `abc.tex', do this: select `TeX...' from OzTeX's %%% TeX menu, and go to the folder containing the file `abc.tex' as if you %%% were selecting the file `abc.tex'. 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. %%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% David Carlisle %%% 1994/09/27 %%% %%% Modified 1994/10/21 after comments by %%% Volker Kunert <volker@numsun1.mathematik.uni-halle.de> %%% Modified 1996/01/26 To fix printout of preloaded files (which %%% hasnt worked since December 94 release, and to fix %%% incompatibility with \makeindex command. %%% Modified 1997/10/04 To generalise the \makeindex support to work %%% with any (well most:-) \openout uses in the preamble. %%% Modified 1997/10/09 Most? Ross Moore pointed out I just broke %%% changebar, so further tinkering. Also useful discussions %%% with Ross lead to the following changes. %%% Added `mylatex' comment feature. %%% Added some font preloading. %%% Modified 1998/01/21 Jean-Francois Mertens pointed out that comments %%% before the first TeX command were broken by the previous %%% version. In particular %&mylatex special comments which %%% would be picked up by some TeX versions to automatically %%% select the format. %%% Modified 1998/10/14 Rowland McDonnell added notes on how to use %%% mylatex.ltx with OzTeX %%% Modified 1999/01/04 Rowland McDonnell corrected notes on how to %%% use mylatex.ltx with OzTeX. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \makeatletter % Save the original definitions. \let\MYLATEXdocument\document \let\MYLATEXopenout\openout % The version of \document to use on the initex run. % Just preloads some fonts, puts back \document and \openout, % sets up the banner to display the file list of files preloaded, % then sets up some special catcodes so the preamble will be % skipped on normal runs with the new format. \def\document{\endgroup % Force some font preloading. {\setbox\z@\hbox{% $$% math (not bold, some setups don't have \boldmath) \normalfont% normal {\ifx\large\@undefined\else\large\fi % large and footnote \ifx\footnotesize\@undefined\else\footnotesize\fi}% {\bfseries\itshape}% bold and bold italic {\itshape}% italic \ttfamily% monospace \sffamily% sans serif }}% \let\document\MYLATEXdocument \let\openout\MYLATEXopenout \makeatother \everyjob\expandafter{\the\everyjob \begingroup \listfiles \expandafter\MYLATEXcustomised\@dofilelist \endgroup}% \@addtofilelist{.}% \catcode`\\=13\relax% \catcode`\#=12\relax% \catcode`\ =9\relax% \dump} % 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.
