Id like to use the typesetter from a command prompt. What is its usage for iniTeXing and Typesetting?
The typesetter can be run from a command prompt in versions 1 through 3.3, as follows: ptitex &format documentfile -pi=inputpaths -pt=tfmpaths Where format is either plain, amsplain or latex, and documentfile is the directory and name of your document (.TEX extension optional). Examples: Typeset the MATHTEST.TEX sample: ptitex &PLAIN C:\PCTEX32\SAMPLES\MATHTEST Typeset the ARTICLE.TEX sample: ptitex &LATEX C:\PCTEX32\SAMPLES\ARTICLE Note for Windows NT users Since the NT command prompt reserves the ‘&’, you must enclose the format in quotes, as follows: Typeset the ARTICLE.TEX sample (under NT): ptitex “&LATEX” C:\PCTEX32\SAMPLES\ARTICLE You may run the typesetter in iniTeX mode by appending “-i” to the command line. In addition, you may specify a list of search paths for input files with -pi= followed by a semicolon separated list. The search path for TFM files is similarly specified by -pt=. These search paths will be saved in the format file, and will be searched whenever that forma
