1. List of pdfTeX documentation files
=====================================
pdftex-a.pdf (A4 format)
pdftex-l.pdf (letter format)
pdftex-s.pdf (screen format)
pdftex-b.pdf (A5 booklet made from pdftex-a.pdf)
pdftex-b-e.pdf (A5 booklet, even pages)
pdftex-b-o.pdf (A5 booklet, odd pages)
pdftex-syntax.txt
2. Installation
===============
Untar or unzip the distribution file. Change to directory "manual".
All files are built from pdftex-t.tex via the Makefile or the file
makefiles.cmd.
2.1 Unix Style
--------------
See the Makefile. To re-generate the manual PDFs from their sources,
type:
make allclean; make
To get also the A5 booklet PDFs, type:
make booklet
Finally you might type:
make clean
to remove all unneeded stuff that has accumulated during processing.
Only the sources, the PDFs, and file pdftex-syntax.txt will be kept.
2.2 Windows Style
-----------------
Execute file makefiles.cmd.
3. How it's done
================
3.1 Generating pdftex-syntax.txt from pdftex-t.tex
--------------------------------------------------
pdftex-t.tex --> (awk -f syntaxform.awk) --> pdftex-syntax.txt
3.2 Generating title page of manual
-----------------------------------
pdftex-w.tex --> (pdfetex) --> pdftex-w.pdf
--> (expand, fmt, grep) --> pdftex-t.txt
