- LeXTeX
-
- LeXTeX is a collection of macros intended to enable lawyers,
- and in particular Barristers, to format their work using
- TeX. The package consists of the following files---
-
- READ.ME This file.
-
- LEXTEX.TEX The principle macro file.
- RHLOCAL.TEX A file containing local modifications.
- SOLICITORS.TEX A database file.
-
- LTMAN.TEX A Manual for LeXTeX.
- EXAMPLE1.TEX A file containing some examples.
-
- DPI300 A Directory containing the following
- fonts at 300dpi---
-
- xcmr12
- xxcmr12
- xxxcmr12
- ucmr12
- uucmr12
- uuucmr12
- xucmr12
-
- DPI360 A Directory containing the same fonts
- as DPI300 but at 360dpi (magstep1)
-
- TFM A Directory containing the tfm files
- for the same fonts.
-
-
- Installing the package is to a certain extent machine and
- software dependent. The files LEXTEX.TEX, RHLOCAL.TEX and
- SOLICITORS.TEX should be installed in the directory
- containing input files. In the emTeX distribution this is
- called \EMTEX\TEXINPUTS.
-
- The files LTMAN.TEX and EXAMPLE1.TEX can also be installed in
- this directory. Alternatively they can be put in the working
- directory (which may be \EMTEX itself).
-
- The fonts need to be installed in the appropriate
- directories. Various versions of emTeX seem to store fonts
- in different directories and to set up the paths to find
- them in different ways. These paths are set up by files
- called, for example, LJ.CNF. Details of these can be found
- in the file called something like
- \EMTEX\DOCS\ENGLISH\DVIDRV.DOC. It may be necessary to
- rename DPI300 and DPI360 to 300DPI and 360DPI or to make a
- corresponding alteration to the CNF file or files. Some
- systems may require the files to be given the extension .PK
-
- The files in the directory TFM should be copied into the
- directory \EMTEX\TFM. Some systems require them to be given
- the extension .TFM
-
- There are two ways of running LeXTeX. The first involves
- creating a format file. To do this it is necessary to use a
- version of TeX called IniTeX. In the case of emTeX this is
- actually the same program as TeX. To create the format file
- using emTeX type---
-
- TEX -I &PLAIN LEXTEX \dump
-
- Note that it is essential that \dump is typed in lower case.
-
- After a fair time TeX will report that it has created a
- format file called LEXTEX.FMT. This should be moved into the
- directory called something like \EMTEX\TEXFMTS. (Some
- implementations of TeX call this directory simply FMT or
- FMTS.)
-
- Now to format the Manual type---
-
- TEX &LEXTEX LTMAN
-
- To format the file EXAMPLE1.TEX type TEX &LEXTEX EXAMPLE1
-
- The second method of using LeXTeX does not involve creating
- a format file. In this case simply type---
-
- TEX &PLAIN LTMAN or TEX &PLAIN EXAMPLE1
-
- This will be somewhat slower than the first method.
-
- To print the resulting files is very system dependent. In
- the case of emTeX the command---
-
- PRTHPLJ LTMAN should work provided that the correct paths to
- the fonts have been set up. The documentation on the printer
- driver is very thorough and you should have no real
- difficulties.
