Converting Typeset Files into a Printing Language (Unix Power Tools, 3rd Edition)
45.16. Converting Typeset Files into a Printing Language
Section 45.15 showed the steps necessary to convert plain text into something
printable. Generally the steps involved are similar for a typeset
source file, with perhaps an extra step or two.
troff generates PostScript by default in most
installations these days, or it can be made to easily enough. GNU
troff (groff ) can also
generate PCL, DVI, and HTML by using the appropriate
-T option.
TEX generates DVI; the
teTEX package includes
dvips to convert DVI into PostScript,
dvilj4 to convert it into PCL,
dvipdf to convert it into PDF, and several others.
HTML can be converted into
PostScript using html2ps.
An example of using
LATEX,
dvilj4, and lpr to print the
article.tex file to my printer (an HP LaserJet
6L):
% latex article.tex
% dvilj4 article.dvi
% lpr article.lj
% rm article.lj article.dvi
This time it's slightly simpler than the example in
Section 45.15, because the default options all do what we want. Even
so, it can be made even simpler; Section 45.17
shows how.
