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.
Here we list only additions/deletions of command line options which are specific
to (e-)(u)pTeX. For (u)pTeX, other options are similar to TeX. For e-(u)pTeX,
other options are similar to e-TeX.
- Additions (supported by ptexenc library):
-
-kanji string
- Sets the input Japanese Kanji code. The
string can be either euc (EUC-JP),
jis (ISO-2022-JP), sjis (Shift_JIS), and
utf8 (UTF-8). For (e-)upTeX, uptex is also
allowed.
-
-kanji-internal string
- Sets the internal Kanji code. The string can be
either euc, and sjis. For (e-)upTeX, uptex is also
allowed.
- Deletions:
- -enc
- In this version of (e-)(u)pTeX, encTeX extensions are
not available.
