Calling the Preprocessor

After an input file is completed, it has to be processed by the preprocessor before it can be fed to TEX or LaTeX. The preprocessor is called devnag. To process an input file, type:
devnag <inputfile> <outputfile>
The default file extension for an input file is .DN and for an output file .TEX. If no output filename is specified then the name of the output file will be the same as that of the input file. Example: devnag hindi will cause devnag to read from the file hindi.dn and write to the file hindi.tex. If you just type: devnag then you will be prompted for the names of the input and output file.
