NAME
fmtutil.cnf - configuration file for fmtutil
DESCRIPTION
The fmtutil.cnf file contains the configuration information for fmtutil(8). Each line
contains the name of the format (e.g., ``tex'', ``latex'', ``omega''), the name of the
engine that is used by that format (e.g., ``tex'', ``etex'', ``omega''), the pattern file
(e.g., language.dat, language.def), and any arguments (name of an .ini file).
Fields are separated by whitespace and complete lines can be commented out with ``#''.
The ``pattern file'' field cannot be used to define a file that is used while building the
format. It tells fmtutil which file the format creation procedure reads and it has an
effect to the options --showhyphen and --byhyphen. If the format has no way to customize
hyphenation, a ``-'' can be used to indicate this.
NOTES
The tex(1) and amstex(1) formats always load hyphen.tex. No customization by a pattern
file is available for these formats. Therefore, the pattern-file field for the tex and
amstex is usually indicated to be empty (``-'').
You can, however, build customized formats on top of plain tex(1) or amstex(1) by using
bplain.tex instead of plain.tex (b for the Babel system). See, for example, the bplain.ini
file for the bplain format).
etex(1) loads language.def, not language.dat.
Symbolic links to the correct engines (e.g., bplain -> tex) are generated by the
texlinks(8) script. Remember to run texlinks(8) if you run fmtutil(8) yourself, rather
than using the FORMATS option in texconfig(8).
