plautopatch

Japanese pLaTeX/upLaTeX formats and packages often conflict with other LaTeX packages which are unaware of pLaTeX/upLaTeX. In the worst case, such packages throw a fatal error or end up with a wrong output.

The goal of this package "plautopatch" is that there should be no need to worry about such incompatibilities, because specific patches are loaded automatically whenever necessary. This helps not only to simplify source files, but also to make the appearance of working pLaTeX/upLaTeX sources similar to those of ordinary LaTeX ones.

The following patches are currently registered:

• doc (latex) -> pldocverb (platex-tools)
• tracefnt (latex) -> ptrace/uptrace (platex/uplatex)
• fltrace (latex) -> pfltrace (platex)
• array (latex-tools) -> plarray (platex-tools)
• array (latex-tools) + plext (platex) -> plextarray (platex-tools)
• delarray (latex-tools) + plext (platex) -> plextdelarray (platex-tools)
• colortbl + plext (platex) -> plextcolortbl (platex-tools)
• arydshln -> plarydshln (maintained here!)
• arydshln + plext (platex) -> plextarydshln (maintained here!)
• siunitx -> plsiunitx (maintained here!)
• collcell -> plcollcell (maintained here!)
• everysel (ms) -> pxeverysel (platex-tools)
• everyshi (ms) -> pxeveryshi (platex-tools)
• atbegshi (oberdiek) -> pxatbegshi (platex-tools)
• ftnright (latex-tools) -> pxftnright (platex-tools)
• multicol (latex-tools) -> pxmulticol (platex-tools)
• xspace (latex-tools) -> pxxspace (platex-tools)
• textpos -> pxtextpos (gentombow)
• eso-pic -> pxesopic (gentombow)
• pdfpages -> pxpdfpages (gentombow)
• stfloats (sttools) -> pxstfloats (pxsttools)
• hyperref -> pxjahyper (by Takayuki YATO)
• pgfrcs (pgf) -> pxpgfrcs (maintained here!)
• pgfcore (pgf) -> pxpgfmark (by Takayuki YATO)

Requirements

If LaTeX2ε 2020-10-01 or newer is running, this package uses the new hook system such as \AddToHook{package/before/...} and \AddToHook{package/after/...}. If LaTeX2ε is older than that, this package depends on filehook package (written by Martin Scharrer).

Miscellaneous

This bundle may distribute some tiny patches together with the main package. All packages are meant for use with pLaTeX/upLaTeX. Short information:

• plarydshln.sty: Patch for arydshln.sty (by Hiroshi Nakashima) to improve compatibility with pLaTeX kernel.
• plextarydshln.sty: Patch for arydshln.sty (by Hiroshi Nakashima) to improve compatibility with plext.sty in pLaTeX.
• plsiunitx.sty: Patch for siunitx.sty (by Joseph Wright) to fix conflict with plarray.sty (platex-tools).
• plcollcell.sty: Patch for collcell.sty (by Martin Scharrer) to fix conflict with plarray.sty (platex-tools).
• pxpgfrcs.sty: Patch for pgfrcs.sty (part of PGF) to support Japanese classes for vertical writing.
• pxstfloats.sty: Patch for stfloats.sty (sttools) to improve compatibility with pLaTeX kernel. Actually part of pxsttols (https://github.com/aminophen/pxsttools) but included here for convenience.

Installation

• .sty -> $TEXMF/tex/platex/plautopatch
