hi everyone,

I am trying to use plain tex as opposed to latex.

I copy the output profile for latex->ps->pdf (ghostscript) and only replace the path to latex.exe with the path to tex.exe.

However I failed to compile the input file.tex.

The input file.tex contains a simple words such as hello world.

my question is, what is the correct output profile for this case?

The profile is correct. But your source file hw.tex at least needs two lines.

Code: Select all

hello world
\end

Best regards
