To generate a LaTeX document
- Compile and generate a pdf from the latex file:
pdflatex myfile.tex
(or latex myfile.tex to generate a .dvi file)
- xpdf will view the pdf file
(also gv, gpdf, kpdf, evince can view pdf's)
- To view a .dvi file using xdvi filename.dvi
- dvi file to pdf: dvipdf myfile.dvi (our current image doesn't support dvipdf, use pdflatex)
- To convert the latex file to html:
"latex2html filename.tex"
This creates a directory "filename" with an index.html file
- To convert to ".ps" (postscript) format, use dvips myfile.dvi
- To see the postscript (".ps") file, use Ghostview: gv myfile.ps
