The qwertz document processing system consists of a suite of
four Unix shell scripts:
formattranslates qwertz documents into various formats, including LaTeX
and various versions of roff. format can also be used to
simply check that a document is a correct instance of the qwertz DTD.
qtexis a front-end to LaTeX and BibTeX which may be used as a filter
in Unix pipes. By default, it translates LaTeX documents into
PostScript, which can then be piped to lpr for printing.
Alternatively, a dvi file can be generated.
qroffis a front-end to groff, analogous to qtex. By default, it
translates groff documents using the ms macro package into a
formatted ascii file suitable for electronic messages. It can
also be used to generate PostScript, to obtain an alternative layout
style to that produced by LaTeX.
extractextracts source code from qwertz documents. It is useful
for "literate programming".
bibliotranslates a bibliography written using our biblio document
type definition into your choice of BibTeX's bib format or
Unix's refer format.
faxsends a message, in PostScript format, to a telefax machine.
The next few sections are the manual pages for each of these commands.
