DESCRIPTION

12       pTeX  (ptex)  is a TeX engine with extensions for Japanese typesetting,
13       including features related  to  line  breaking  rules,  inter-character
14       spacing  and vertical writing. It was first developed by ASCII Corpora‐
15       tion, in the aim of providing a Japanese TeX which can be used for com‐
16       mercial publishing. For pTeX, the character set available is limited to
17       JIS X 0208, namely JIS level-1 and level-2.
18
19       upTeX (uptex) is a Unicode-enabled pTeX with extensions for better han‐
20       dling of CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) multilingual documents.  It
21       has been developed by Takuji Tanaka since 2007.
22
23       e-pTeX (eptex) is a merge of e-TeX and pTeX.
24
25       e-upTeX (euptex) is a merge of e-TeX and upTeX.
26
27       In the following sections, we refer to these engines as (e-)(u)pTeX.
28
29       (e-)(u)pTeX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that
30       of the other TeX programs in the web2c implementation.
31
