![]() ![]() Unlike pdfLaTeX and similar older (La)TeX engines, XeLaTex is internally built with Unicode text processing. This box defaults to “pdfLaTeX…” for backward compatibility, but today pdfLaTeX has been essentially obsoleted by XeLaTeX. ![]() Start TeXworks, choose Edit: Preferences: Typesetting, and change the drop-down box Default to “XeLaTex+MakeIndex+BibTeX”. There’s just one configuration item you need to adjust. However, I recommend that beginners stick with TeXworks for a while, due to its sheer simplicity and the fact that it works (almost) without configuration. This editor is very simple, so eventually you’ll want to migrate to a more advanced program such as TeXstudio. MiKTeX includes TeXworks, a straightforward TeX editor that’s preconfigured for use with MiKTeX. I recommend you do this right after installing MiKTeX as new updates arrive quite frequently. Choose Updates: Check for Updates and let the wizard check the nearest TeX repository for available updates. MiKTeX also comes with MiKTeX Console, a utility to manage and update your installed style packages and program components. Moreover, whenever your LaTeX documents reference a style package that’s not yet installed, MiKTeX can automatically download it from an online repository and continue typesetting. The package contains TeX engines, an editor, and various style packages. MiKTeX by Christian Schenk is a polished all-in-one installation package for TeX and LaTeX on Windows, MacOS, and Linux (all 64-bit only). Every beginning LaTeX user should read this book, and I’ll assume you have done so. Moreover, Leslie Lamport’s LaTeX: A Document Preparation System (2nd ed., Addison-Wesley 1994) is still an excellent user’s guide. There are few pitfalls, and most questions are easily answered by a web search. I’m going into less detail here than in my DITA tutorials for FrameMaker and Oxygen because modern LaTeX is relatively straightforward and well-documented. Then it should work again.This page describes my own setup for LaTeX typesetting on Microsoft Windows using the MiKTeX system. So you start them with only one dash instead of two. Instead the lines mentioned above need to be lualatex.exe -synctex=1 -output-directory=build -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex and biber.exe -output_directory build % Is anybody using that combination on Windows and can tell me what they made to have it working?ĮDIT: as it turns out, for some strange reason, you don't include options in the Texstudio GUI to the programs like you do in terminals. TeXlive is added to PATH and also to the PATH in the TeXstudio GUI, so it shouldn't fail because it can't find the executable. But while the now expanded command shown in the Messages during compilation works when run manually from cmd, running it in TeXstudio always gives an error about not being able to start a command and showing the expanded lualatex command. I have modified the command used to run lualatex to lualatex.exe -synctex=1 -output-directory=build -interaction=nonstopmode ?me" since with %.tex the resulting "filename".tex would also not work when executing manually in the cmd. ![]() Now I can't seem to get lualatex to run, at least not in TeXstudio. I just wanted to switch from MikTeX to Texlive since I encountered problems with MikTeX quite often.
