pfarrei - A bundle of executables, LaTeX documents and packages for pastors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintainer: Unmaintained
E-Mail: -
Abstract: In "Die TeXnische Komödie" 1/2013 Christian Justen told
about his practise using LaTeX at his work as pastor. One
point was to arrange A5 papers onto A4 landscape paper
either side-by-side or as a booklet. He made two bash
scripts for this. `pfarrei' provides one texlua script for
the same.
Other points would be, e.g, special limitations of the
page break. `pfarrei' provides LaTeX commands and
environments to help for that too.
Requires: LaTeX2e, ifpdf, pdfpages, TeXLua
License: LPPL 1.3c or later
State: Unmaintained
Topics: compact output, typically multiple pages/sheet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special installation note:
To extract all the files just call `tex pfarrei.dtx'. Note,
that you have to use tex NOT latex or pdflatex!
The manual may be done using `pdflatex pfarrei.dtx' two
times.
After this, you should copy the files like this into a valid
TEXMF tree (aka TDS tree):
a5toa4.tlu --> scripts/pfarrei/a5toa5.tlu
pfarrei.tlu --> scripts/pfarrei/pfarrei.tlu
a5toa4.tex --> tex/latex/pfarrei/a5toa4.tex
pfarrei.sty --> tex/latex/pfarrei/pfarrei.sty
pfarrei.pdf --> doc/latex/pfarrei/pfarrei.pdf
README --> source/latex/pfarrei/README
pfarrei.dtx --> source/latex/pfarrei/pfarrei.dtx
Users, that do not use Windows, should also copy a5toa4.tlu
to the binary directory of their TeX distribution and rename
that copy into a5toa4 (without extension).
Windows users using TeX Live, should make a copy
of runscript.exe with the name a5toa4.exe in the binary
directory of their TeX distribution.
Windows users using MiKTeX <= 2.9 should remove
scripts/pfarrei/a5toa4.tlu and rename
scripts/pfarrei/pfarrei.tlu -->
scripts/pfarrei/a5toa4.tlu
because MiKTeX <= 2.9 uses an outdated texlua, that does not
search for modules correctly.
Wndows users using MiKTeX should also copy
...\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\internal\runtexlua.exe -->
...\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\a5toa4.exe
and start the MiKTeX Package Manager to install package
miktex-cairo-bin-2.9, if not already installed.
Please note, that there's also a TDS distribution of
`pfarrei' that may be installed simply by extraction of
`pfarrei.tds.zip' at a TEXMF tree and additionally copying
the binary to the binary directory of the TeX distribution
as described above.

Version history
* 2023-11-22 (r37) - Maintenance update/bugfix (Pavel Sanda)
- package has no more active maintainer
- fix of broken a5toa4 script:
MK: "Some time ago, the behaviour of "pdflatex" (and also the other engines)
changed when using the "--output-directory" option, which unfortunately
means that "a5toa4" no longer works."
PS: a5toa4 now only worked when *path* was provided with filename. r37 fixes
this. Tested on TL 2020,2022,2023. Notably not tested with MikTeX & Windows.
Feel free to contact me with feedback for this particular issue.
