| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[Documentation and help]] points to other online resources (manuals, mailing list, etc.) related to LuaTeX.
| |
| − | * [[Writing Lua in TeX]] explains how to write Lua code in a TeX document (and back).
| |
| − | * [[Attributes]] introduces LuaTeX's thrilling new concept.
| |
| − | * Pages on callbacks:
| |
| − | ** [[Callbacks]] introduces callbacks and how to use them.
| |
| − | ** There is a page on the [[Post linebreak filter|<tt>post_linebreak_filter</tt>]] callback, explaining and illustrating it with a couple of examples. The [[Show the hyphenation points]] article is another example of use.
| |
| − | ** The page on [[process input buffer|the <tt>process_input_buffer</tt> callback]] illustrates how to read documents with non-UTF-8 encoding, and how to write TeX with lightweight markup instead of the usual commands.
| |
| − | ** Another callback is [[show error hook|<tt>show_error_hook</tt>]], which lets you enliven your error messages!
| |
| − | ** You can fake XeTeX's interchar tokens with the [[token filter|<tt>token_filter</tt>]].
| |
| − | * [[TeX without TeX]] is about using TeX's functionality (typesetting, pdf writing) only using Lua code (no <tt>\TeX</tt> macros).
| |
| − | * [[TeX_without_TeX_revised_and_expanded]] is a revision and expansion of the above.
| |
