CEFSCONV(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CEFSCONV(1)

NAME

       cefsconv - convert a TeX document in SJIS encoding containing CEF macros into `preprocessed' form.

SYNOPSIS

       cefsconv < infile > outfile

DESCRIPTION

       The  Chinese Encoding Framework (CEF) developed by Christian Wittern <cwittern@conline.central.de> makes it possible to include CJK charac-
       ters in various encodings using the SGML macros &CX-aabb; for Big 5 and CNS encoding and &U-aabb; for Unicode (X denotes a number between 0
       and 7; 0 represents Big 5 encoding, 1-7 CNS encoding planes 1-7.  aabb is either a decimal or hexadecimal number).

       cefsconv converts the CEF macros of a SJIS encoded document together with the SJIS encoding itself into a form which can directly processed
       with LaTeX 2e.  It is identical to

	      sjisconv < infile | cefconv > outfile

       This filter is part of the CJK macro package for LaTeX 2e.

SEE ALSO

       sjisconv(1), bg5conv(1), cefconv(1), cef5conv(1), extconv(1),
       the CJK documentation files.
