For each output format used, an output profile has to be defined first. The
number of output profiles in TeXnicCenter is not limited.
Properties of an output profile:
- Is a (La)TeX compiler necessary to generate the output?
If so, what is the path to the TeX compiler?
What are the command line arguments to pass to the compiler?
- Is a BibTeX compiler available for the specified format?
If it is, what is the path to the compiler?
What are the command line arguments to pass to the compiler.
- Is a MakeIndex compiler available for the specified format?
If so, what is the path to the compiler?
What are the command line arguments to pass to the compiler.
- Which additional tools (postprocessors) have to be started after
or instead of the TeX compiler to generate the desired output?
- Which application is used to view files of the wanted format?
What are the commands to display an output file?
What are the commands to perform a forward search?
Is it necessary to close the output before the compilation starts?
If it is, what is the command to do that.
