- TeX frontend, needs PasTeX or AmigaTeX
- .description
- TeXt Plus Professional is a TeX frontend word processor. TeX is a
- professional freeware typesetting programm. The greatest problem of
- TeX for the average user was - up to now - TeX's complexity and the
- resulting difficulty to fast and efficiently create documents. This is
- where TPP starts to work.
-
- Now you just have to load a form sheet, which has to be modified at
- the respective places only. After this the file is compiled to a TeX-
- file by TPP, which then itself is processed by the TeX compiler. After
- both compilations either the previewer or the printer driver can be
- invoked.
-
- TPP cooperates with PasTeX, the freeware Amiga implementation of TeX
- written by Georg Hessmann, and with AmigaTeX ((c) Radical Eye
- Software). Among TPP's features are tables, staggered lists,
- mailmerge, footnotes, inclusion of graphics, an ARexx-port (122
- commands) and full OS2.xx/3.xx compatibility. You can make use of all
- functions of TeX, even if they are not supported directly, e. g. there
- is no editor for mathematical formulae, yet.
-
- TPP combines its user friendliness with the typesetting power of TeX
- in order to open the world of TeX to a totally new group of users.
-
- TPP is not only a TeX frontend. You can also use it as a normal editor
- and print files via the printer.device.
-
- New Feastures: AmigaTeX is from now on supported; user definable
- menus, keymap, and macros; completely localized (available languages:
- english, deutsch); clipboard support; AppWindow, AppIcon;
- 11 new ARexx commands (total number of commands now: 122).
