NAME
       fmtutil.cnf - configuration file for fmtutil

DESCRIPTION
       The  fmtutil.cnf	 file contains the configuration information for fmtu‐
       til(8).	Each line contains the name  of	 the  format  (e.g.,  ``tex´´,
       ``latex´´, ``omega´´), the name of the engine that is used by that for‐
       mat (e.g., ``tex´´, ``etex´´, ``omega´´), the pattern file (e.g.,  lan‐
       guage.dat, language.def), and any arguments (name of an .ini file).

       Fields  are separated by whitespace and complete lines can be commented
       out with ``#´´.	The ``pattern file´´ field cannot be used to define  a
       file  that  is  used while building the format.	It tells fmtutil which
       file the format creation procedure reads and it has an  effect  to  the
       options	--showhyphen and --byhyphen.  If the format has no way to cus‐
       tomize hyphenation, a ``-´´ can be used to indicate this.

NOTES
       The tex(1) and amstex(1) formats always load hyphen.tex.	 No customiza‐
       tion  by	 a pattern file is available for these formats. Therefore, the
       pattern-file field for the tex and amstex is usually  indicated	to  be
       empty (``-´´).

       You  can,  however,  build customized formats on top of plain tex(1) or
       amstex(1) by using bplain.tex instead of plain.tex  (b  for  the	 Babel
       system). See, for example, the bplain.ini file for the bplain format).

       etex(1) loads language.def, not language.dat.

       Symbolic	 links to the correct engines (e.g., bplain -> tex) are gener‐
       ated by the texlinks(8) script.	 Remember to run  texlinks(8)  if  you
       run  fmtutil(8)	yourself, rather than using the FORMATS option in tex‐
       config(8).
