Pgn2ltx (original) (raw)
Welcome to the homepage of Pgn2ltx!
Pgn2ltx is a small console-based program. It was written in order to convert PGN (Portable Game Notation) input to a LaTeX file.
Pgn2ltx reads from ` stdin' and writes to ` stdout'. The LaTeX output relies on the ``skak'' package (version 1.2 or higher required) by Torben Hoffmann for displaying the various figurine and_Informator_ symbols, so you might have to download it too from theCTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network).
Pgn2ltx tries to cover the wholePGN standard, including the various comment environments, recursively nested annotations and the annotation glyphs.
Different headers for the single games are built in (see the examples) and the _LaTeX_code can easily be customized according to the users needs...
For more information, take a look at the manualthat is also contained in thedownload archive, together with the source file and a small `Makefile'. Compiling_Pgn2ltx_ should be straightforward, using a decent C++ compiler...
Also available is an archive providing a readily compiled DOS version of_Pgn2ltx_ which should run on most DOS/Windows platforms.
Please also regard the file `README' for further instructions about the installation of _Pgn2ltx_ and the file `COPYING' for the terms of the GNU GPL (General Public License).
Using Doxygenyou can easily generate a documentation for the source file if you want to.
