If you aren't familiar with LaTeX, don't stress.. it's just a document markup language that I use for creating Math documents.
Anyway, if I execute "latex /home/destructo/Desktop/example.tex" inside my command prompt (ubuntu), it will create the desired document... I decided to try to create a localhost website to aid with this process and was suggested to use the shell_exec() function. However, I quickly found this to be a problem..
When I use the following code, I receive an error.
The error is the following:
Quote:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)
entering extended mode
! I can't write on file `example.log'.
(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit; default file extension is `.log')
Please type another transcript file name:
! Emergency stop
No pages of output.
I am hoping someone might be able to help me understand why this is happening.. Or if there is an alternate way to accomplish my goals...I am supposing it is a permissions problem..??
I'm not sure where to post this but it's happening on a SunOS 5.8 server so I'll try here.
I've discovered some unexpected behavior when using tr.
For example:
echo a | tr
Z
echo b | tr
a
echo a | tr
B
echo a | tr

POD2LATEX(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide POD2LATEX(1)NAME
pod2latex - convert pod documentation to latex format
SYNOPSIS
pod2latex *.pm
pod2latex -out mytex.tex *.pod
pod2latex -full -sections 'DESCRIPTION|NAME' SomeDir
DESCRIPTION
"pod2latex" is a program to convert POD format documentation (perlpod) into latex. It can process multiple input documents at a time and
either generate a latex file per input document or a single combined output file.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
This section describes the supported command line options. Minium matching is supported.
-out
Name of the output file to be used. If there are multiple input pods it is assumed that the intention is to write all translated output
into a single file. ".tex" is appended if not present. If the argument is not supplied, a single document will be created for each
input file.
-full
Creates a complete "latex" file that can be processed immediately (unless "=for/=begin" directives are used that rely on extra pack-
ages). Table of contents and index generation commands are included in the wrapper "latex" code.
-sections
Specify pod sections to include (or remove if negated) in the translation. See "SECTION SPECIFICATIONS" in Pod::Select for the format
to use for section-spec. This option may be given multiple times on the command line.This is identical to the similar option in the
"podselect()" command.
-modify
This option causes the output "latex" to be slightly modified from the input pod such that when a "=head1 NAME" is encountered a sec-
tion is created containing the actual pod name (rather than NAME) and all subsequent "=head1" directives are treated as subsections.
This has the advantage that the description of a module will be in its own section which is helpful for including module descriptions
in documentation. Also forces "latex" label and index entries to be prefixed by the name of the module.
-h1level
Specifies the "latex" section that is equivalent to a "H1" pod directive. This is an integer between 0 and 5 with 0 equivalent to a
"latex" chapter, 1 equivalent to a "latex" section etc. The default is 1 ("H1" equivalent to a latex section).
-help
Print a brief help message and exit.
-man
Print the manual page and exit.
-verbose
Print information messages as each document is processed.
BUGS
Known bugs are:
o Cross references between documents are not resolved when multiple pod documents are converted into a single output "latex" file.
o Functions and variables are not automatically recognized and they will therefore not be marked up in any special way unless instructed
by an explicit pod command.
