makempx [--tex|--troff] mpfile mpxfile

DESCRIPTION

This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.

If mpxfile is older than mpfile, translate the labels from the input file mpfile to low-level commands in MPXFILE, by running mpto -tex, tex, and dvitomp by default; or, if -troff is specified, mpto -troff, eqn -d\$\$ | troff -Tpost, and dmp.

The current directory is used for writing temporary files. Errors are left in mpxerr.{tex,log,dvi}.

If the file named in $MPTEXPRE (mptexpre.tex by default) exists, it is prepended to the output in tex mode.

makempx is typically called by mpost, not from the command line.

--help

--tex
