A flexible and convenient interface allows it to +specify what commands and constructs should be extracted. This works +with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or +dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF +files. + +Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for +WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of +previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf and pst-pdf +packages, the tbook XML system and some other tools. + +Availability +------------ + +The preview package is being developed along and distributed with +AUCTeX. It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution +files available at <URL:https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/> or its +mirror at <CTAN:support/auctex>. CTAN also provides a standalone +version at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>. The project page at +<URL:https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/auctex/> offers downloads and +anonymous CVS access for cutting edge versions. For more information +about the preview package please refer to the home page of AUCTeX at +<URL:https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>. + +Installation +------------ + +To install the preview style file on its own without the entire AUCTeX +package, run +tex preview.ins +If preview.ins happens to be missing, you can regenerate it by running +tex docstrip +on preview.dtx with the option `installer'. + +Running TeX on preview.ins will then extract further files: +preview.drv which you can run through LaTeX in order to get the +documentation for preview.sty, preview.sty itself, a bunch of option +files with extension .def and a few configuration files with extension +.cfg. In case your docstrip configuration has not already taken care +of that, install the files with extension .sty, .def and .cfg to a +location where LaTeX will be able to find them, generate the +documentation and have fun. + +The license of the original file is the GPL which you'll find a copy +of in the complete AUCTeX distribution. The distribution will also +unpack and install the respective LaTeX files with an +autoconf-supported mechanism, so you might consider using that. + +Bug reporting +------------- + +Please report problems to <URL:mailto:bug-auctex@gnu.org>, including a +small example file which uses the \listfiles statement, and the +resulting log file. + +David Kastrup |
