Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Customizing Jadetex
Well, this may be a question not just about Jadetex, but I hope somebody well help to clarify these points. I work with Miktex for Windows NT. Currently, I'm migrating to Miktex 2.0. I must say that I only use Latex for rendering the "tex" files produced by Jade with Jadetex. I have found that some times, when there is a new version of Jadetex or the DSSSL files, there are some changes you must do. For example, now the (define %two-side% #t) is not enough to get two sides pages. You must change something in Jadetex in order to get headers, footers and margins corrects for even and odd pages. My question is: How can I customize Jadetex withou modifying the Jadetex.dtx file? I have read the docs of Miktex but I'm very confusing because I don't find the things the way the docs say they should be, mainly when referring to configuration files. But I guess there is a simple way of building the format files (Jadetex y Pdfjadetex) adding some customizing layer. The problem is that a I am not a Latex user and I have not idea of how to do it. I imagine you should fed some aditional file(s) when building the formats, but how? Other related question would be what variables in Jadetex are related to those in Jade. This should help in identifiying the problems and whom yo should send the bug info if it is a bug. Also, I hope this info would prevent a lot of questions in this list that would be easy to answer from oneself with this info. BTW: I'm almost sure this info in somewhere, but honestly, it's imposible for me to get and ordered idea about all this. I mean, you read about Miktex and is OK, you read about Jadetex and is OK. But the point is that Jadetex author doesn't feel the need to explain nothing about Miktex (and he is right), but the docs of Miktex does't explain anything about the way you should deal with Jadetex (and perhaps they are also right). So you get lost after reading a lot of pages. Well, you can try to master Latex, but do we need to do it? Thanks in advance for the info. Juan R. Migoya Guecho (VIZCAYA) SPAIN
