TeX is a data markup language and the core of the computer typesetting system known as the publication set system. While it is often referred to as a file format, it is actually a programming language and interpreter engine used for the creation of mathematical or technical documents. Many packages have been created based on TeX to simplify the processing of documents with formulas or math equations. The Aspose.TeX API solution offers the ability to create custom TeX files with personalized engine options. Here you will find an example of how to create a custom TeX format. But first, install the Aspose.TeX API. You can do it either by searching for it in the NuGet package manager or by using the Install-Package Aspose.TeX command in the Package Manager Console.

Steps to create a custom TeX file C++.

  1. Create typesetting options for the ObjectTeX engine extension with no format. Create an instance of the TeXOptions Class, and set it to use the ConsoleAppOptions() Method of the TeXConfig Class, with the ObjectIniTeX option specified.
  2. Set the input working directory for the options object to the input directory, and the output working directory for the options object to the output directory.
  3. After that, run the format creation, using the CreateFormat() Method of the TeX class, with customtex as the format name, and the options object as the parameter.
  4. Call the WriteLine() Method of the Writer property of the TerminalOut property of the options object, which will write an additional line to the output.
  5. Refine the output.

C++ Code to customize TeX files

    using Aspose::TeX::IO;
    using Aspose::TeX;
    // Create typesetting options for no format on the ObjectTeX engine extension.
    System::SharedPtr<TeXOptions> options = TeXOptions::ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig::get_ObjectIniTeX());
    // Specify a file system working directory for the input.
    options->set_InputWorkingDirectory(System::MakeObject<InputFileSystemDirectory>(RunExamples::InputDirectory));
    // Specify a file system working directory for the output.
    options->set_OutputWorkingDirectory(System::MakeObject<OutputFileSystemDirectory>(RunExamples::OutputDirectory));

    // Run format creation.
    Aspose::TeX::TeX::CreateFormat(u"customtex", options);

    // For further output to look write.
    options->get_TerminalOut()->get_Writer()->WriteLine();



FAQ

1. What is a LaTeX template?

A template is a saved set of properties, settings or structure that can be applied to a newly created document to save time. For LaTeX, this can be a file that contains information about page format, fonts, document class, included packages, etc.

2. How do I use LaTeX templates?

If you are not using any additional software and the template is just a TeX file, just open it and start working. Just keep in mind that you don’t save the changes right in this document, but use the ‘Save as’ option instead.

3. How to set the type of a LaTeX document?

To specify the type of a document in LaTeX such as an article, book, or presentation, use the command \documentclass{...} with one of the supported class names within braces.

4. How to create a custom TeX format?

To create a custom TeX format using the Aspose.TeX API Solution you create proper TeX engine options first. Then you specify a file system working directory for the input and output. And finally, you create the format by calling the TeXJob.CreateFormat() method.

TeX What is TeX File Format

TeX is not actually a format. It is both a programming language and also an interpreter engine that understands this language. A TeX file is a plain text file created using TeX syntax to be converted to some target format by being processed by a TeX engine. This output document may include graphics, tables, lists, formulas, and equations.
