ptex2pdf release 0.8

I have uploaded ptex2pdf to CTAN. Changes are mainly about how files are searched and extensions are treated. ptex2pdf now follows the TeX standard, that is:

  • first check if the passed in filename can be found with libkpathsea
  • if not, try the filename with .tex appended
  • if that also does not fail, try the filename with .ltx appended.

This also made finding the .dvi file more robust.

texworks-edit

The files should be in today’s TeX Live, and can be downloaded directly from here: ptex2pdf-0.8.zip, or only the lua scrip: ptex2pdf.lua.

For more details, see the main description page: /software-projects/ptex2pdf (in Japanese) or see the github project.
