CEF5CONV(1)

💖 CEF5CONV(1) — the vibe-y manual 💖

cef5conv — converting a TeX document that's in Big 5 encoding and full of CEF macros into its preprocessed form. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cef5conv < infile > outfile

That's it bestie. In goes the file, out comes the file. 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first, the lore. 📖

The Chinese Encoding Framework (CEF for short, iykyk) was developed by Christian Wittern <cwittern@conline.central.de>, and what it does is make it possible to include CJK characters in various encodings using SGML macros. Specifically:

• &CX-aabb; — for Big 5 and CNS encoding
• &U-aabb; — for Unicode

And the X in there? It's a number between 0 and 7. So:

• 0 = Big 5 encoding
• 1–7 = CNS encoding planes 1–7

And aabb is either a decimal or hexadecimal number, so pick your fighter. 💅

---

Now the main character moment: cef5conv takes the CEF macros of a Big 5 encoded document together with the Big5 encoding itself and converts the whole thing into a form that can directly be processed with LaTeX 2e. 🔥

It is literally, exactly identical to running:

bg5conv < infile | cefconv > outfile

Same energy. Same result. No cap. ✨

This filter is part of the CJK macro package for LaTeX 2e, so it's out here doing its lil job for the team. 🫶
