Creates a TeXable file from the using file. (Unix or Windows only, sorry)


Syntax
        maketex using , [class(string)] [classoptions(string)]
                           [packages(string)] [title(string)] [author(string)]
                           [date(string)]


Description

maketex creates a TeXable file from the using file, enclosing it between a
preamble and \end{document}. Preamble can be customized using available
options. The file is saved as a .tex file, whatever its name was.


Options

The [class(string)] option defines the documentclass (default is article).

The [classoptions(string)] option defines the documentclass options (default is
empty).

The [packages(string)] option defines the packages to be loaded. Packages must
be separated by a blank space.

Typing packages(longtable float) will result in :
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{float}

Packages options can be specified by listing them (separated by commas) before
the package itself ; package options and package name must be separated by a
colon :
Typing packages(latin1:inputenc french,english:babel) will result in :
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french,english]{babel}

Also, typing packages(english:babel,varioref) will result in :
 
\usepackage[english]{babel,varioref}

The [title(string)], [author(string)] and [date(string)] options define the
\title{} , \author{} and \date{} LaTeX fields (the \maketitle statement is
automatically added).


When the file is saved, maketex displays "file filename saved". The content of
filename can be viewed by clicking on it.

Examples

        . maketex using myfile

        . maketex using myfile ,pack(longtable)

        . maketex using myfile ,pack(T1:fontenc) title(this is a title)
