Re: use of Jade TeX backend?

[Axel Ramge <axel@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Sebastian,

I tried to follow your cookbook for generating TeX output (mild
weeny as you would say). It didn't work because it seems that TeX
processing depends on hyperref.sty (which I don't use till now) and
maybe hytex or who knows. The generated dvi files seem to use hypertex
extensions too, aren't they (dvihps)?

Would you please be so kind and summarize what packages/programs
JadeTeX depends on?

hyperref
hytex?
fonts?
dvihps?

Thanks

Axel
