We have a pdftex tag to refer about pdf(La)TeX, but no actual way to tag a question specifically for the classic latex
or tex
compilers. For example I don't know how to tag questions ala "How to use PNG images with latex
". In contrast, a question like "How to use EPS images with pdflatex
" can be tagged with eps pdftex.
Using dvi would be a workaround, but after all pdf, which is about the PDF format per se, would be wrong for pdftex related questions.
Should we create a dvitex tag or similar?
May 7th 2012:
I now created the dvi-mode with synonyms dvimode (for easier typing) and tex-dvi (alternative suggestion). Please use it as follows:
- Questions about the
latex
compiler which outputs.dvi
files should be tagged with dvi-mode. - Questions in general about producing DVI files should be also tagged with dvi-mode.
- Questions about the DVI format itself, like how to convert it to a different format, should be tagged with dvi.
- It would be possible to use both tags together if the question is about producing and converting DVI files etc.
