kdvi - KDE DVI Viewer

kviewshell [Qt-options] [KDE-options] part file(s)

This manual page documents briefly the kdvi KDE Application. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

KDVI is a plugin for the KViewshell program which allows KViewshell to display DVI-files (.dvi) which are produced by the TeX typesetting system. KDVI supports many extensions of the DVI standard, for instance the inclusion of PostScript graphics or hyperlinks. More details, examples and all the technical specifications can be found in the file KDVI-features.dvi (or see KDVI-features.tex for the TeX source of that file).

For up-to-date information, consult KDVI's home page.

TeX is a high-end typesetting system geared towards scientific, and in particular mathematical typesetting. More information about TeX and DVI can be found on the homepage of the TeX user group or the German German DANTE e.V..

This program is part of the official KDE graphics module.
