The following description gives you more detailed information:
xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems.
It requires
Tcl and the appropriate Tk.
This version runs with Tcl/Tk
(Tcl8.3, Tcl8.2, Tcl8.1 and Tcl8.0).
The configuration has to be done by the local TeX-Administrator
by adapting configuration files ("open lists").
xtem is not a TeX system, i.e. you need an additional TeX-package for Unix such as
teTeX
or another TeX-package, e.g. from
TeX Live.
Besides adapting xtem to new Tcl versions we have done error corrections
and added new features, some of them are:
- TclX commands replaced by corresponding (new) Tcl commands
- TclX no longer needed!
- select boxes in setting menus now are expandable
- mkcommand.7 deleted (=obsolete), mkcommand.6 modified
from TclX commands to pure Tcl commands
- modifications of logfile analyze; LaTeX warnings can now be displayed
- editor options can now be modified in editor setting menu
- modifications of display of hyphen_show
The setting files from older versions of xtem are mostly compatible
(mkcommand.vst will be automatically updated),
thus switching from the older version (xtem v.7) to the new release will be done easily.
File xtem_texmenu.8.26.tar.gz
includes all the xtem material necessary for installation, you can get it
