platex

p is a Japanese version of , which runs on p (a engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting). This bundle provides the macros and settings needed to generate the p format (named "p") and some classes.

Note: This is a community edition maintained by Japanese Development Community, which forked from the original ASCII edition; see below.

Changes from the original ASCII edition

The macros were originally developed by ASCII Corporation (a publishing company in Japan). We, Japanese Development Community, have created a fork to work with the latest version of Live.

The original ASCII edition, p 2006/11/10, was based on p-3.1.10 and 2005/12/01. It can be obtained from the link below:

The community edition (this bundle) has the following advantages:

  • Fix several bugs in p format and packages.
  • Fix macros which are inconsistent with the latest p (e.g. footnote, tabular, parbox, underline).
  • Support 2015/01/01 and later versions.
  • Add platexrelease.sty. As with the latexrelease package, this package enables us to use the old versions of p (from 2006/11/10 the ASCII edition).

See the documents (platex.pdf, pldoc.pdf, platexrelease.pdf) for more information.

Documentation

A brief exposition of p is provided in platex.pdf. The document can be obtained by executing the following commands:

platex platex.dtx
dvipdfmx platex.dvi

The comprehensive explanation of p source is included in pldoc.pdf. If you are interested in typesetting pldoc.tex yourself, the following commands will be helpful:

platex pldocs.ins
platex Xins.ins
sh mkpldoc.sh
dvipdfmx pldoc.dvi

Character encoding

All the text files containing Japanese characters in this repository are encoded in ISO-2022-JP. This is because ISO-2022-JP encoded texts are most suitable for the traditional p engine.
