ptex [options] [&format] [file|\commands]

pT E X (ptex) is a T E X engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting, including features related to line breaking rules, inter-character spacing and vertical writing. It was first developed by ASCII Corporation, in the aim of providing a Japanese T E X which can be used for commercial publishing. For pT E X, the character set available is limited to JIS X 0208, namely JIS level-1 and level-2.

upT E X (uptex) is a Unicode-enabled pT E X with extensions for better handling of CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) multilingual documents. It has been developed by Takuji Tanaka since 2007.

e-pT E X (eptex) is a merge of e-T E X and pT E X.

e-upT E X (euptex) is a merge of e-T E X and upT E X.

In the following sections, we refer to these engines as (e-)(u)pT E X.

(e-)(u)pT E X's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of the other T E X programs in the web2c implementation.

Here we list only additions/deletions of command line options which are specific to (e-)(u)pT E X. For (u)pT E X, other options are similar to T E X. For e-(u)pT E X, other options are similar to e-T E X.

Additions (supported by ptexenc library):

-kanji string

Sets the input Japanese Kanji code.  The string can be either euc (EUC-JP), jis (ISO-2022-JP), sjis (Shift_JIS), and utf8 (UTF-8). For (e-)upT E X, uptex is also allowed.

-kanji-internal string

Sets the internal Kanji code.  The string can be either euc, and sjis. For (e-)upT E X, uptex is also allowed.

Deletions:
