NAME

       latex2ps - script to convert LaTeX file to PostScript

SYNOPSIS

	 latex2ps [OPTIONS] [-o output] [sourcefile]

DESCRIPTION

       "latex2ps" is a simple script to invoke the "LaTeX::Driver" module to convert a LaTeX file to PostScript.

OPTIONS

       "-output=FILE"
	   specifies that the formatted file should be written to "FILE".  If this option is not specified, or is specified as ""-"" then the file
	   will be written to standard output, otherwise if an input file is specified then the it will be formatted in place and the output file
	   will have the same name as the input file, but with the original extension replaced with ".dvi".

       "-tt2"
	   specifies that the source document should be taken to be a Template Toolkit template and processed through that before being fed to the
	   "LaTeX::Driver" module for latex formatting.

       "-define=NAME=VALUE"
	   defines the template variable NAME to have the value VALUE.	Multiple template variables may be defined and these are passed to the
	   Template Toolkit processing stage (they are ignored if the "-tt2" option is not specified).

NAME

       LaTeX::Driver::FilterProgram - LaTeX Driver (FilterProgram)

VERSION

SYNOPSIS

	 use LaTeX::Driver::FilterProgram;
	 LaTeX::Driver::FilterProgram->execute(format => $format);

DESCRIPTION

       This module is not intended to be used except by the programs "latex2pdf", "latex2ps" and "latex2dvi" that are included in the
       LaTeX::Driver distribution.  It implements the guts of those filter programs.

SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
       "execute(%params)"
	   This is the only method.  It implements the guts of the filter programs, gathering the parameters for the "LaTeX::Driver" object
	   constructor from the command line options, along with the options passed from the calling script, which should be the format option.
	   Having constructed a driver object it then runs the driver.

	   If the "-tt2" option is specified then the source document is taken to be a Template Toolkit template and a Template object is
	   constructed and the template processed through that before being fed to the "LaTeX::Driver" module for latex formatting.  Template
	   variables may defined with the "-define" option and these are passed to the Template Toolkit processing stage (they are ignored if the
	   "-tt2" option is not specified).

DIAGNOSTICS

       The module invokes the "LaTeX::Driver" module and optionally the "Template" module.  Any errors from those modules are propogated outwards.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

       The module invokes the latex family of programs via the "LaTeX::Driver" module.	Those programs have their own set of environment variables
       and configuration files.

DEPENDENCIES

       The module requires that the Template Toolkit is installed for the "-tt2" option.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

       None known.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       None known.
