Using TeX not LaTex

Post by servi »

Call me old fashion but I like (and know) TeX much better than LaTeX.

I just installed TeXricCenter and it seems all set to do LaTex +>DVI.

However, I couldn't find the instuctions to be able to do TeX-->DVI.

I assume this is easy but it wasn't apparent to me where it was.

Can someone help this newbie?

THanks,

Les

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

If you are using MiKTeX with TeXnicCenter, simply copy the LaTeX => DVI build profile (Alt + F7) and rename it TeX => DVI. Then change the "Path to the (La)TeX compiler" from latex.exe to tex.exe (which is also in the bin directory of MiKTeX where latex.exe is located).

That should give you what you want.
