DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the plastex command.

This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program
does not have a manual page.

plasTeX is a collection of Python frameworks that allow you to process LaTeX documents.
This processing includes, but is not limited to, conversion of LaTeX documents to various
document formats. Of course, it is capable of converting to HTML or XML formats such as
DocBook and tBook, but it is an open framework that allows you to drive any type of
rendering. This means that it could be used to drive a COM object that creates a MS Word
Document.

The plasTeX framework allows you to control all of the processes including tokenizing,
object creation, and rendering through API calls. You also have access to all of the
internals such as counters, the states of “if” commands, locally and globally defined
macros, labels and references, etc. In essence, it is a LaTeX document processor that
gives you the advantages of an XML document in the context of a language as superb as
Python.

OPTIONS

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see
the Info files.

--config=config-file, -c config-file
Specifies a configuration file to load. This should be the first option specified on
the command-line.

--kpsewhich=program
specifies the kpsewhich program to use to locate LaTeX files and packages.

--renderer=renderer-name
specifies which renderer to use.

--theme=theme-name
specifies which theme to use.

--copy-theme-extras, --ignore-theme-extras
indicates whether or not extra files that belong to a theme (if there are any) should
be copied to the output directory.

--base-url=url
specifies a base URL to prepend to the path of all links.

--index-columns=integer
specifies the number of columns to group the index into.

--sec-num-depth=integer
specifies the section level depth that should appear in section numbers. This value
overrides the value of the secnumdepth counter in the document.

--title=string
specifies a title to use for the document instead of the title given in the LaTeX
source document.

--toc-depth=integer
specifies the number of levels to include in each table of contents.

--toc-non-files
specifies that sections that do not create files should still appear in the table of
contents. By default, only sections that create files will show up in the table of
contents.

--counter=[ counter-name initial-value ... ]
specifies the initial counter values.

--links=[ key optional-url title ]
specifies links to be included in the navigation object. Since at least two values are
needed in the links (key and title, with an optional URL), the values are grouped in
square brackets on the command-line ([ ]).

--bad-filename-chars=string
specifies all characters that should not be allowed in a filename. These characters
will be replaced by the value in --bad-filename-chars-sub.

--bad-filename-chars-sub=string
specifies a string to use in place of invalid filename characters (specified by the
--bad-chars-sub option).

--dir=directory, -d directory
specifies a directory name to use as the output directory.

--escape-high-chars
some output types allow you to represent characters that are greater than 7-bits with
an alternate representation to alleviate the issue of file encoding. This option
indicates that these alternate representations should be used.

--filename=string
specifies the templates to use for generating filenames. The filename template is a
list of space separated names. Each name in the list is returned once.

--input-encoding=string
specifies which encoding the LaTeX source file is in.

--output-encoding=string
specifies which encoding the output files should use. Note: This depends on the output
format as well. While HTML and XML use encodings, a binary format like MS Word, would
not.

--split-level=integer
specifies the highest section level that generates a new file. Each section in a LaTeX
document has a number associated with its hierarchical level. These levels are -2 for
the document, -1 for parts, 0 for chapters, 1 for sections, 2 for subsections, 3 for
subsubsections, 4 for paragraphs, and 5 for subparagraphs. A new file will be
generated for every section in the hierarchy with a value less than or equal to the
value of this option. This means that for the value of 2, files will be generated for
the document, parts, chapters, sections, and subsections.

--image-base-url=url
specifies a base URL to prepend to the path of all images.

--image-compiler=program
specifies which program to use to compile the images LaTeX document.

--enable-images, --disable-images
indicates whether or not images should be generated.

--enable-image-cache --disable-image-cache
indicates whether or not images should use a cache between runs.

--imager=program
specifies which converter will be used to take the output from the LaTeX compiler and
convert it to images. You can specify a space delimited list of names as well. If a
list of names is specified, each one is verified in order to see if it works on the
current machine. The first one that succeeds is used.

You can use the value of “none” to turn the imager off.

--image-filenames=filename-template
specifies the image naming template to use to generate filenames. This template is the
same as the templates used by the --filename option

--vector-imager=program
specifies which converter will be used to take the output from the LaTeX compiler and
convert it to vector images. You can specify a space delimited list of names as well.
If a list of names is specified, each one is verified in order to see if it works on
the current machine. The first one that succeeds is used.

You can use the value of “none” to turn the vector imager off.
