Dwelling in the Dream

Inspired by Noah’s Ark

Noah's Ark
  1. Don't miss the boat.
  2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
  3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
  4. Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
  5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
  6. Build your future on high ground.
  7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
  8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
  9. When you're stressed, float awhile.
  10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
  11. No matter the storm, have faith … there's always a rainbow waiting.

WinEdt 5.4 ToolBar新增按鈕, 以bg5latex為例(MikTeX 2.4)

Filed under: Computer, Word Processor — wrjih @ 10:30 am

安裝好字型後, 對於「許功蓋」問題總是無法解決, 後來才發現, 原來是我又耍寶了, 我忘了要做bg5conv及bg5latex, 取代原來的latex了. (其實也是我以為現在的MikTeX已經很強了, …. 我太天真了)

現 在MikTeX 2.4的bg5latex已經包含有早期bg5conv的功能了, 所以只要一個bg5latex指令就可以把CJK中文字型處理好了. 有些中文字, 用dvi viewer (ex: yap)看, 會變成亂碼, 此時, 再轉成pdf檔後, 應該就沒有問題了.

由於WinEdt不會自動加入bg5latex的按鈕, 所以我們必需要手動加入一個新的button.加入的方法如下:  
step 1. 在工具列旁空白處按滑鼠右鍵,出現下列選單,選擇Menu Setup
  WinEdt Menu Setup
step 2. Main menu選單上的Items, 選擇&accessories, 連續按2下滑鼠
step 3. 對任一Menu Items按滑鼠右鍵, 會出現如下圖, 選Insert –> Utility
  WinEdt Menu Setup
step 4. 在menu Items加入&bg5latex
  WinEdt Utility
 
  • Utility路徑為C:\texmf\miktex\bin\bg5latex.exe %N%T (C:\texmf\miktex\bin\big5latex.exe為big5latex.exe的所在路徑)
  • Start in填入 %P
  • Caption 填入 bg5latex
  • 選擇button對應的icon
step 5. 在工具列旁空白處按滑鼠右鍵,出現下列選單,選擇Enter Tool Bar Setup. 將bg5latex的按鈕安裝到ToolBar上.
step 6. 將新加入的bg5latex圖示拉到ToolBar上後, 按滑鼠右鍵選apply
  WinEdt tool Bar
做完上列的步驟後, 回到WinEdt的編輯畫面, 就會多出一個新的icon, 若是有用中文, 就要改用這個新的button做bg5latex.
