# Originally written by Thomas Esser, 1998. Public domain.
#
# For guidance on how to support local formats, see the man
# page of fmtutil, or the output of fmtutil --help.
# 
# any manual edits of this file (fmtutil.cnf in the TEXMFDIST tree) will
# be lost on update. So don't do that.
#
# The format of the table is:
#
# format  engine  pattern-file  arguments
# Either spaces or tabs can be used as separators.
#
# The last "argument" must be the name of the file on which to run the
# engine (e.g., initex). If the ini-engine is e-TeX (or compatible), and
# the e-TeX extensions need to be enabled explicitly, the filename must
# be prefixed with a * character; this is essentially equivalent to the
# -etex option. (So don't use it if the engine doesn't support -etex.)
# 
# The purpose of the pattern-file is to support fmtutil's --byhyphen
# option. It is not included in the command line to rebuild the format.
# If no pattern-file is desired, use -.
# fmtutil always passes the -ini option to the engine.
#
# Other notes:
# 1) tex and amstex just load hyphen.tex. No customization.
#    You can have your own customized (via babel's hyphen.cfg)
#    formats on top of plain by using "bplain.tex" instead of
#    plain.tex (e.g., bplain.ini file for bplain format).
#
# 2) etex-based formats load language.def, not language.dat.
#
# 3) The symbolic link to the right engines (e.g. bplain -> tex)
#    is generated by the "texlinks" script.
# 
# 4) usual comments start with "# ", whereas disabled configurations
#    start with "#! " in this file.
#
# 5) The entries in the main TeX Live fmtutil.cnf are created from the
#    AddFormat directives in (ultimately) the *.tlpsrc files. Don't edit here.
