## SYNOPSIS

**bg5latex** file.tex\
 **bg5pdflatex** file.tex\
 etc.

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly documents the different **\*latex** batch files that come with the CJK LaTeX macro.

The **\*latex** commands are shell scripts that will convert a (Big5(+), GBK or SJIS encoded) .tex file in a .cjk file using the respective **\*conv** command resulting in a .cjk file, and will then run (**pdf**)**latex** on the .cjk file.

If you use Big5+ encoding, then use **bg5+latex** or **bg5+pdflatex**.

If you use CEF macro's in your Big5 or SJIS encoded file, use **cef5latex** or **cefslatex** resp. instead.  If it's in plain ASCII, use **ceflatex**.

If you use GNU/Emacs (\>=20), you don't have to use any of these commands: just put the Lisp file "cjk-enc.el" in Emacs' load-path, load the library "cjk-enc" and run "M-x cjk-write-file" to create a .cjk file.  Then process the .cjk file with **latex** or **pdflatex**.

## SEE ALSO

## AVAILABILITY

The **\*latex** scripts are part of the CJK macro package for LaTeX 2e available at the CTAN hosts and its mirrors, and available for Debian under latex-cjk-chinese and latex-cjk-japanese.
