Usage of gletex

The command line of gletex is:

gletex [-verbose] [-dbsize<size>] [["-dvips <option>"] <file>[.gle]]

You have to give a modification of the database size (option "-dbsize<size>") or a gletex file for execution, otherwise a usage message is printed out. The same happens if an error in the command line is found. If a change of the database size is combined with the execution of a gletex file, first the database size is modified and then the gletex file is executed. The flag "-verbose" turns on additional messages. The -dvips <option> can be used to give some special parameters to dvips during the conversion of the (La)TeX expressions. This option is for experts only.

Basically gletex forwards the given file to gle only, but the following two additional commands are implemented:

tex "<TeX-expression>" <size> "<position>"
latex "<LaTeX-expression>" <size> "<position>"

<TeX-expression> stands for a TeX expression, while <LaTeX-expression> consequently stands for a LaTeX expression. The exclamation mark itself within such an expression must be written as two coherent excalamtion marks.

When TeX is used, <size> is a number from 0 to 5. It is replaced with \magnification=\magstep<size> in front of the TeX expression. In case of LaTeX numbers from 10 to 12 are possible and stand for the font size 10pt to 12pt of the LaTeX article style. Additionally the font size may be altered with the usual LaTeX size commands like \Large within the LaTeX expression.

Finally the position parameter <position> uses the same abbreviations like the gle command "set just", which are bl, bc, br, lc, cc, rc, tl, tc, tr and reversed letter combinations. This fix the alignment of the (La)TeX output regarding the current position.
