NAME

SYNOPSIS
ptex
[options]
[&format]
[file|\commands]
DESCRIPTION
pTeX (ptex)
is a TeX engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting, including
features related to line breaking rules, inter-character spacing and
vertical writing. It was first developed by ASCII Corporation, in the
aim of providing a Japanese TeX which can be used for commercial
publishing. For pTeX, the character set available is limited to
JIS X 0208, namely JIS level-1 and level-2.
upTeX (uptex)
is a Unicode-enabled pTeX with extensions for better handling of
CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) multilingual documents.
It has been developed by Takuji Tanaka since 2007.
e-pTeX (eptex) is a merge of e-TeX and pTeX.
e-upTeX (euptex) is a merge of e-TeX and upTeX.
In the following sections, we refer to these engines as (e-)(u)pTeX.
(e-)(u)pTeX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to
that of the other TeX programs in the
web2c
implementation.
