The package contains the following files :
WP2LATEX.EXE
(the conversion program)
WP2LATEX.PAS
(the original Turbo Pascal 5.0 sources)
WP2LATEX.STY
(style file needed by LATEX for processing)
WP2LTX.TEX
(this user's guide)
README.BAT
(batch-file with user instructions)
WP2LATEX [WP-filename.WPF]
The parameter WP-filename.WPF
2 is optional.
The program starts with an opening screen and asks for the WordPerfect
filename. The default filename is printed inside square brackets
([ ]
) and is the parameter which was optionally included in
the initial invocation of WP2LATEX
. The user can at this point type
in another WordPerfect filename, or he can hit return to choose the default
filename. The program next requests the name of the generated LATEX
document. The default given within brackets is the name of the
WordPerfect file, with the extension .TEX
. Once again the user
may accept this name or enter another3. Once the filenames are given, the
following error messages may appear :
WP-filenaam.STR
and WP_filenaam.TBL
.
WP-filenaam.STR
contains the characters, tab settings and changes of
typefaces; WP-filenaam.TBL
holds information regarding the various
LATEX environments that must be opened and closed. In the second pass these
files are assimilated into a single LATEX file. After a successful
conversion the files WP-filenaam.STR
and WP-filenaam.TBL
are
automatically deleted.
Invoking to convert the WordPerfect 5.0 document
C:\WPTEST\TEST.WP5
will cause the following screen to appear :
Conversionprogram : From Wordperfect 5.0 to LaTeX (WP2LATEX) (c) TUE-Eindhoven ---- Made by R.C.Houtepen ---- Date : 24 Jan 1990 WordPerfect-filename [ ] : c:\wptest\test.wp5 LaTeX-filename [c:\wptest\test.TEX] : Converting ... First strike : Converting-percentage : 100% Second strike : Converting-percentage : 100% Conversion completed.
The first line of the generated LATEX file, in the case of the file
C:\WPTEST\TEST.TEX
, will look as follows :
\documentstyle[11pt,wp2latex]{report}
When calling LATEX to typeset the converted document, the style file
WP2LATEX.STY
should be in the current directory or in the style-file
directory (e.g., \PCTEX\TEXINPUT
).
This style file defines a number of macros and environments which are
regularly used in the generated LATEX files. Examples include the command
\nwln
and the indenting
environment. \nwln
generates a
hard carriage return after the end of a LATEX-environment. The
indenting
environment is used in the conversion of WordPerfect's
[
→Indent]
command (see § ).
