NAME
       ptex, uptex, eptex, euptex - Japanese "Publishing TeX"

SYNOPSIS
       ptex [options] [&format] [file|\commands]

DESCRIPTION
       pTeX  (ptex) is a TeX engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting, including features re‐
       lated to line breaking rules, inter-character spacing and vertical writing. It was first  de‐
       veloped  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 pro‐
       grams in the web2c implementation.

OPTIONS
       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.

SEE ALSO
