News about TeX engines and the latest release of LaTeX

[Juan Manuel Macías]

Hi,

Although I still have a significant lack of time to actively collaborate
on the list, I share here this news that Joseph Wright, member of the
LaTeX project, collects on his website. I think this may be of interest
for org-mode support for LaTeX. I make a small summary (copy the first
and last paragraph) and put the link below:

> The latest release of LaTeX went to CTAN on Friday, and moves us forward in
> truly automatic tagging for PDFs, particularly for mathematics. As part of the
> work, we have been looking at the capabilities of different engines. Here, I
> want to summarise what users should take from that for existing and for new
> documents.

> [...]

> The time to move to LuaTeX for new LaTeX documents is here. For existing pdfTeX
> sources, tagging will be available, although it may be more limited than for
> LuaTeX. pdfTeX users can keep their existing sources and will see tagging
> available. XeTeX users really do need to re-work their sources for
> LuaTeX.
