DT2DV(1) General Commands Manual DT2DV(1) NAME dt2dv - convert a DTL text representation of a TeX DVI file to a binary DVI file SYNOPSIS dt2dv [-debug] [-group] [-si] [-so] [input-DTL-file] [output-DVI-file] In the absence of the -si and -so options, both file arguments are re- quired in the order input-DTL-file output-DVI-file. But also see the OPTIONS section below. No default file extensions are supplied. DESCRIPTION dt2dv converts a text representation of a TeX DVI file, usually pro- duced by the companion dv2dt(1) utility, back to a binary DVI file. DTL (DVI Text Language) files can be edited, with care, and then re- stored to DVI form for processing by any TeX DVI driver program. In DTL files, font directory names and font names are preceded by a length field, which must be updated if the names are modified. dvitype(1) can also display a textual representation of DVI files, but in some implementations at least, it cannot be used in batch mode, and its output is not well-suited for conversion back to a DVI file. The format of TeX DVI files is fully described in Donald E. Knuth, TeX: The Program, Addison-Wesley (1986), ISBN 0-201-13437-3, as well as in the dvitype(1) literate program source code. Brief descriptions of the DTL and DVI formats are given in dv2dt(1). OPTIONS -debug Turn on detailed debugging output. -group Expect each DTL command to be in parentheses. -si Read all DTL commands from standard input. -so Write all DVI commands to standard output.
