extconv(1)

extconv1

Convert a tex document in either big 5+ or gbk encoding into `preprocessed' form.

Usage

extconv < infile > outfile

Overview

Big 5+ and GBK encodings use the characters {, }, and \ which have special meanings in TeX documents.

After processing a LaTeX 2e document which contains such characters with extconv you need not care about these special characters.

This filter is part of the CJK macro package for LaTeX 2e.
