4. runghostscript: “ gv [Link]” to display or:

“gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pswrite -q -dBATCH -sOutputFile=fi[Link] fi[Link]”

[Link]“[Link] ”asroottosendafax,or—ifyou
know how to do this — modify thefax script to be able to [Link] files directly
(you have to insert|“%PDF*” somewhere. . . ).

1.2 Howtowriteadocument
1.2.1 The main document
Choose the name of the document, sdaoycument . [Link] to
[Link], then edit it, change the title, the authors and set proper in-
clude(s) for all the chapters.

1.2.2 Chapters
Each chapter should be included in the main document as a separate file. You ca
choose any name for the file, but we suggest adding a suffix to the name of the
main file. For our example we use the file nadmoecument_chapter1.tex
.
First,copytemplate_chapter.tex todocument_chapter1.tex
and add the line

\include{document_chapter1}

[Link] ,theneditdocument_chapter1.tex , change the

chapter title and edit the body of the chapter appropriately.

1.2.3 Spell-checking
Do use a spell-checker, please!
You may also want to check grammar, style and so on. Actually you should
do it (if you have enough spare time). But ymouustcheck spelling!
Youcanusetheispell packageforthis,fromwithinemacs,orfromthe
command line:

ispell
-t document_chapter1.tex

A lot of examples can be found in this document.
You should also print

doc/latex/general/[Link]
•
tetex distribution (usually in
from your
/usr/share/texmf or
•
/usr/lib/texmf/texmf).
