LuaTeX is an extended version of pdfTeX using Lua as an embedded scripting language. The LuaTeX projects main objective is to provide an open and configurable variant of TeX while at the same time offering downward compatibility.

This is a wiki for [http://www.luatex.org LuaTeX], a typesetting engine derived from

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX TeX] that includes [http://www.lua.org Lua] as an embedded scripting language.
