- This is the README for the Free Pascal documentation.
- All documentation is stored here, in LaTeX format.
- it uses special style files (fpc*.sty) which are also in the directory.
- do a 'make dvi' to produce the dvi format of the docs.
- a 'make html' will produce the html version (using latex2html).
- a 'make ps' will produce PostScript documents.
- If you want to produce dos docs, you can do a 'make htm' this will convert
- the .html files to .htm files (including all references), suitable for a 8:3
- format.
- The rest of this document is only interesting if you want to write docs.
- Otherwise, you can bail out now.
- THE DOCS...
- Why LaTeX ?
- - because I like a printed copy of the manuals, HTML just isn't good enough
- for this.
- - I know LaTeX very well :) (mind you : html also !)
- - many other reasons.
- In order to translate the things to HTML, I use latex2html, since it is the
- most powerful and flexible, although sluggish...
- For it to be able to use the fpc.sty, I had to write a fpc.perl script
- which it loads. The script seems to run fine when used standalone, but in
- conjunction with latex2html, I get a out of memory... ??
- I'm not familiar with perl, so if someone is, and can fix the thing, please
- do. (and let me know :) )
- Then how to proceed ?
- If you just want to write latex docs, just use fpc.sty. (you don't need
- html.sty)
- If you want to be able to convert to html, (you need html.sty) the following
- fixes the perl-problem :
- In the preamble of your document, type :
- \usepackage{html}
- \latex{\usepackage{fpc}}
- \html{\input{fpc-html.tex}}
- The fpc-html.tex defines the same commands as fpc.sty, only in a language
- that latex2html understands.
- fpc.sty.doc describes what fpc.sty does. (one day I'll integrate them using
- the doc package, but I need some time for it)
- Happy TeXing,
- Michael.
