Use in a file manager

  You can run LaTeX-X on a file through a file manager. The latter must then launch, on the selected file, one of the following commands (the -0 at the end is important!):

latex-x --1 -view -latex -0        =  PostScript visualization
latex-x --1 -view -pdflatex -0   =  PDF visualization with pdflatex
latex-x --1 -view -pdflatex_pstpdf -0   =  PDF visualization with pdflatex mode pst-pdf
latex-x --1 -view -latex_ps2pdf -0      =  PDF visualization with avec latex and ps2pdf
latex-x --1 -view -xelatex -0        =  PDF visualization with xelatex

latex-x --1 -export -latex -0        =  Export to PostScript
latex-x --1 -export -pdflatex -0   =  Export to PDF with pdflatex
latex-x --1 -export -pdflatex_pstpdf -0   =  Export to PDF with pdflatex mode pst-pdf
latex-x --1 -export -latex_ps2pdf -0      =  Export to PDF avec latex and ps2pdf
latex-x --1 -export -xelatex -0        =  Export to PDF with xelatex

latex-x --1 -view -0      =  Visualization with choice of format then
latex-x --1 -export -0    =  Rxport with choice of format next


  Of course, the way to get the file manager to launch one of these commands can not be described here because it depends on the manager, and even the manager version. We will therefore refer to the documentation of the manager used.
