Public domain. # # As of TeX Live 2015, fmtutil reads *all* fmtutil.cnf files found. # Consequently, any manual edits of this file (fmtutil.cnf in the # TEXMFDIST tree) will be lost on update. So don't do that. # # For guidance on how to achieve local configurations, see the man # page of fmtutil, or the output of fmtutil --help. # # The format of the table is: # # format engine pattern-file arguments # # The last "argument" must be the name of the file on which to run # the ini-engine (such as initex). If the ini-engine is e-TeX, and the # e-TeX extensions should be enabled, the filename must be prefixed with # a * character; this is essentially equivalent to the -etex option. # # fmtutil always passes the -ini option to the engine. # If no pattern-file is desired, use -. # Either spaces or tabs can be used as separators. # # Other notes: # 1) tex and amstex just load hyphen.tex. No customization. # You can have your own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg) # formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of # plain.tex (e.g., bplain.ini file for bplain format). # # 2) etex-based formats load language.def, not language.dat. # # 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex) # is generated by the "texlinks" script. # # 4) usual comments start with "# ", whereas disabled configurations # start with "#! " in this file.
