Concept

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.
