No customization. # You can have you own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg) # formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of # plain.tex (see e.g. bplain.ini file for bplain format). # # 2) etex loads language.def, not language.dat. # # 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex) # will be generated by the "texlinks" script. So, if you call # fmtutil "by hand" and not via texconfig, please also call # texlinks afterwards. # # 4) usual comments start with "# ", whereas disabled configurations # start with "#! " in this file. # The format of the table is: # format engine pattern-file arguments # The last part of "arguments" must be the name of the file to run # initex (or another "ini"-engine) on. ### End of file: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tex.cnf ## ### /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base-bin.cnf not included because either it wasn't ### up-to-date (conffile update pending) or the package shipping it was ### apparently removed (no corresponding .list file in ### /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/). ## ### From file: /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40jadetex.cnf # 40jadetex.cnf # You can change/add entries to this file and changes will be preserved # over upgrades, even if you have removed the main package prior # (not if you purged it).
