DESCRIPTION
XeTeX (
xetex) is a TeX engine with native support for Unicode,
OpenType, and system-installed fonts, using third-party libraries (such
as ICU, HarfBuzz, and Freetype). It was developed by Jonathan Kew for SIL.
XeTeX includes the e-TeX extensions and many extensions from pdfTeX,
sometimes with different primitive names.
XeTeX is now released as part of TeX Live <https://tug.org/texlive>.
OPTIONS
XeTeX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to
that of the other TeX programs in the Web2C implementation.
Here we list only additions/deletions of command line options which are
specific to XeTeX; see
etex(1) for common options. Additions:
- -no-pdf
-
Generate XeTeX's extended DVI (.xdv) output instead of pdf.
- -output-driver cmd
-
Run
cmd
instead of xdvipdfmx to translate xdv to pdf.
- -papersize string
-
Set pdf media size to
string.
Removals:
-draftmode,
-enc,
-ipc,
-ipc-start,
-translate-file.
