Editing Main Page

== Welcome to the LuaTeX wiki ==

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.

We are [[Special:Recentchanges|currently editing]] [[Special:Allpages|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles.

* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting How to edit wiki pages]
* [[Bug tracking|Bug tracking]]: Mantis [http://tracker.luatex.org bug tracker]

== Getting help ==

* There are two mailing lists related to LuaTeX, [http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/luatex one for general discussions and questions about LuaTeX ("luatex users")] and [http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-luatex one more related to the development of LuaTeX ("dev-luatex")]
* There is also [http://www.tug.org/mailman/listinfo/lualatex-dev a LuaLaTeX (LaTeX with LuaTeX) mailing list].
* [http://tex.stackexchange.com/ tex.stackexchange.com] is a q&a site for questions related to TeX, and you can ask (and answer) LuaTeX related questions there.
* The [http://www.luatex.org/svn/trunk/manual/luatexref-t.pdf online reference manual (pdf)] describes every aspect of LuaTeX, but is rather technical and concise.
