# Paul A. Rubin, rubin@msu.edu.
# This script takes a LaTeX file and generates a collection of
-# ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
+# png or ppm image files, one per previewed snippet.
# Example usage:
# legacy_lyxpreview2bitmap.py 0lyxpreview.tex 128 ppm 000000 faf0e6
# Decomposing TEXFILE's name as DIR/BASE.tex, this script will,
# if executed successfully, leave in DIR:
# * a (possibly large) number of image files with names
-# like BASE[0-9]+.ppm
+# like BASE[0-9]+.(ppm|png)
# * a file BASE.metrics, containing info needed by LyX to position
# the images correctly on the screen.
# * preview.sty;
# * dvips;
# * gs;
+# * pdflatex (optional);
# * pnmcrop (optional).
# preview.sty is part of the preview-latex project
# Alternatively, it can be obtained from
# CTAN/support/preview-latex/
-# The script uses the deprecated dvi->ps->ppm conversion route.
-# If possible, please grab 'dvipng'; it's faster and more robust.
-# If you have it then this script will not be invoked by
-# lyxpreview2bitmap.py.
-# Warning: this legacy support will be removed one day...
+# What does this script do?
+# [legacy_conversion]
+# 1) Call latex to create a DVI file from LaTeX
+# [legacy_conversion_step2]
+# 2) Call dvips to create one PS file for each DVI page
+# 3) If dvips fails look for PDF and call gs to produce bitmaps
+# 4) Otherwise call gs on each PostScript file to produce bitmaps
+# [legacy_conversion_pdflatex]
+# 5) Keep track of pages on which gs failed and pass them to pdflatex
+# 6) Call gs on the PDF output from pdflatex to produce bitmaps
+# 7) Extract and write to file (or return to lyxpreview2bitmap)
+# metrics from both methods (standard and pdflatex)
+
+# The script uses the old dvi->ps->png conversion route,
+# which is good when using PSTricks, TikZ or other packages involving
+# PostScript literals (steps 1, 2, 4).
+# This script also generates bitmaps from PDF created by a call to
+# lyxpreview2bitmap.py passing "pdflatex" to the CONVERTER parameter
+# (step 3).
+# Finally, there's also has a fallback method based on pdflatex, which
+# is required in certain cases, if hyperref is active for instance,
+# (step 5, 6).
+# If possible, dvipng should be used, as it's much faster.
