Does Overleaf support pTeX?
Yes, Overleaf can compile Japanese documents that require pTeX. Here's how:
- A pTeX document does not need any special commands for Japanese text (kanji, hiragana and katakana). Here's a simple example (using the jsarticle document class):
\documentclass{jsarticle} \bibliographystyle{jplain} \title{p\LaTeX\ 実験} \author{林蓮枝} \begin{document} \maketitle \begin{abstract} 本稿では、文書組版システムp\LaTeX{}の使い方を解説します。p\LaTeX{}を利用するときには、あらかじめ文章中に\TeX{}コマンドと呼ばれる組版用の指示を混在させ\ldots \end{abstract} \section{導入} こんにちは世界!\cite{確率統計} \bibliography{refs} \end{document}
- If you are uploading a .tex file from elsewhere, make sure it is saved in UTF-8 encoding.
- In the Overleaf editor, click on the Overleaf menu button above the file list panel.
- Set the "Compiler" option to "LaTeX".
- Add a blank file to your project, and save it as
latexmkrc
. - Add the following line to your
latexmkrc
file:
$latex = 'platex';
$bibtex = 'pbibtex';
$dvipdf = 'dvipdfmx %O -o %D %S';
This blog post (in Japanese) by doraTeX has further details about using pTeX and upLaTeX on Overleaf.
