Re: [tlaplus] embed PlusCal and TLA+ specs in latex papers

[TLA Plus <tlapl...@xxxxxxxxx>]

You seem to be using an old version of TLATeX.  Did you download the latest version of the tools?  They are no longer distributed from the Microsoft site, but rather from https://tla.msr-inria.inria.fr/tlatoolbox/dist/ .  If you did download them from there, tell me what version number and date the program prints.

Thanks very much for the info. There is no mention of pcal in the -info documents. I use the following but get nothing:

$ java tla2tex.TeX -info |grep "pcal"

Also, when I use \begin{pcal} \end{pcal}, no tlatex environment is generated. But if I use tla environment, it did generate.

Could you explain what you mean by "doing PlusCal"?  Are the instructions you get by running "tla2tex.TeX -info" unclear?  (Note the instructions at the beginning to use a pcal or ppcal environment for PlusCal code and a tla environment for plain TLA+.)  What may not be clear is that in the pcal environment, you put PlusCal code, not a comment containing PlusCal code.

If you need to know how to use PlusCal,  the PlusCal manual is on the PlusCal web page.

Leslie: Thanks for the quick reply. I got the tool and started to use it. However, it is not clear how to do PlusCal. Could you explain a bit?

You will have to download the stand-alone tools (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/tools.html) and run the tla2tex.TeX Java program (which is not mentioned on the Web page, but probably should be).  Run it with the –info option to get the documentation.

I would like to embed PlusCal algorithms and TLA+ specs in my paper in latex.

What is the style file I need to use for that, and where can I find it?

Thanks very much.
