Sorry! My english isn't good enough to translate the whole german
document, but I hope everybody can understand it and does the
installation right. Sorry, this document may not describe all those
little features like the german "Liesmich". In case of questions and
hints e-mail to the above given address.
TeXify paket
============
Why this paket?? Because it make's using AmigaTeX so simple.
Everything can be done with AmigaTeX without leaving the
CEDPro editor!!!! Tough, the paket isn't small but does nearly
everything for you. Take the time to try it out!!!
A short overview of the programs and their tasks:
o TeXify.ced - This is the main program. This one starts
AmigaTeX with your given textfile. In case of errors you'll
get a report. In case of everything works fine, preview will show
up. For all those special feature see later...
o TeXifyLookNext.ced - TeXify.ced only reports the first error
in you textfile. For further error messages start this rexx
program and you'll get a fine error report for all thoe
outstanding error messages (cursor gets positioned at the
faulty place).
o TeXPrint.ced - Start this one from CEDPro and you'll get
your .dvi text printed in backround...
o TeXifySetMacro.ced - After starting this one you can give
in your wanted macropaket (plain, lplain...). Next time
your start TeXify.ced this pakage will be used.
o TeXifyExit.ced - With this program you have the ability in
CEDPro to force TeX to exit
Installation
============
Just copy all those programs in your rexx: drawer. You must
adopt most of these programs to your environment. This is
simple and should be no problem. Everything you need to know
for this task is stated at the beginning of each program.
(for further adjustment there are some default settings at the
beginning of TeXify.ced... see the comments or the german
"Liesmich" file for further description)
Assign every program to a CEDPro function key. If you wan't
AmigaTeX to run asyncron you have to run rx (that means you
should assign something like "Rexxc:rx Texify.ced").
TeXify.ced is programed for running asyncorn. You may even
exit CEDPro after the TeX shellwindow show's up. In case of an
error in your textfile CEDPro will be loaded again.
Using those features
====================
Simply type in your TeX source and press the TeXify.ced
function key when finish. After a while a shellwindow will
show up with TeX. TeX will stay resident until you exit it
with the "TeXifyExit.ced" function key (so next time you start
TeXify.ced it'll be fast !). In case you started TeXify.ced by
using the rx command, you can continue editing after the
shellwindow appears. To do this, press L-ALT L-SHIFT RETURN at
the same time and the CEDPro screen will pop up again for more
editing. You may even exit CEDPro after starting TeXify.ced (ey,
isn't that real multitasking??!!! Amiga lives!)
In case of an error you will get a Okay1 Requester with a
description and your cursor will be positioned at the faulty
point in your textfile. In case you textfile isn't loaded in
CEDPro, TeXify will load it for you (yep! handles multiple
TeX source files !!! great, isn't it?).
In case you got more than one error, you can go further with
"debuging" by using the "TeXifyLookNext.ced" function key.
This programs will show you all error beginning from the
second.
In most times you wan't to stop TeX after a count of errors
(only the first erors will make sense...). For this purpose
you can adjust the errorcount statement at the beginning of
the TeXify,ced program.
Now you may use more then one makropackage (laplain, plain,
glplain,...). For this purpose you can add the following
statement at the very beginning of your TeX source:
% macropackage = lplain
The keyword "macropackage" can be easily changed (see the first
statements in TeXify.ced) for compatibility with other shells
(Stefan Lindner...). The keyword is case insensitive and the
"=" char may be leave out. So all those following statements
are the same:
% macropackage = glplain
% MacROpackage plain
When there is no more error caused by your source, it will
show up in preview. In case everything is fine start TeXPrint.ced
for a dump to your printer (there will be a window on your WB
screen telling you how far in progress)
so... it's 5:30am and that's all I got to tell you now... in
case of confuse: you know my e-mail address!
