LATEX(1) General Commands Manual LATEX(1) NAME
latex, elatex, lambda, pdflatex - structured text formatting and typesetting SYNOPSIS
latex [first-line] DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation. The LaTeX language is described in the book LaTeX - A Document Preparation System. LaTeX is a TeX macro package, not a modification to the TeX source program, so all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present. The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to real- ize, is to have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''. The primary source of documentation for LaTeX is the LaTeX manual referenced below, and the local guide in the file local-guide.tex or local.tex or some such. elatex is the e-TeX extended mode version of LaTeX format. lambda is the Omega version of the LaTeX format. pdflatex is the pdfTeX version of the LaTeX format. On some systems latex209 and slitex are available for compatibility with older versions of LaTeX. These should not be used for new texts. SEE ALSO

TeX::Encode::BibTeX(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation TeX::Encode::BibTeX(3pm) NAME
TeX::Encode::BibTeX - Encode/decode Perl utf-8 strings into BibTeX SYNOPSIS
use TeX::Encode; use Encode; $tex = encode('bibtex', "This will encode an e-acute (".chr(0xe9).") as 'e"); $str = decode('bibtex', $tex); # Will decode the 'e too! DESCRIPTION
This module provides encoding to LaTeX escapes from utf8 using mapping tables in Pod::LaTeX and HTML::Entities. This covers only a subset of the Unicode character table (undef warnings will occur for non-mapped chars). This module is intentionally vague about what it will handle, see Caveats below. Mileage will vary when decoding (converting TeX to utf8), as TeX is in essence a programming language, and this module does not implement TeX. I use this module to encode author names in BibTeX and to do a rough job at presenting LaTeX abstracts in HTML. Using decode rather than seeing $sqrt{Omega^2zeta_n}$ you get something that looks like the formula. The next logical step for this module is to integrate some level of TeX grammar to improve the decoding, in particular to handle fractions and font changes (which should probably be dropped). METHODS
TeX::Encode::BibTeX::encode STRING [, CHECK] Encodes a utf8 string into TeX. CHECK isn't implemented. TeX::Encode::BibTeX::encode_url STRING Make a URL safe for inclusion in BibTeX. TeX::Encode::BibTeX::decode STRING [, CHECK] Decodes a TeX string into utf8. CHECK isn't implemented. TeX::Encode::perlio_ok Returns 0. PerlIO isn't implemented. CAVEATS
Proper Encode checking is not implemented. LaTeX comments (% ...) are ignored because chopping a lot of text may not be what you actually want. encode() Converts non-ASCII Unicode characters to their equivalent TeX symbols (unTeXable characters will result in undef warnings). decode() Attempts to convert TeX symbols (e.g. ae) to Unicode characters. As an experimental feature this also handles Math-mode TeX by inserting HTML into the resulting string (so you end up with an HTML approximation of the maths - NOT MathML). SEE ALSO
