org-utf-to-xetex - Teach Org-Mode And XeTeX How To Handle Non-Latin Unicode Characters

[Grant Rettke]

Hi,

This package

https://github.com/grettke/org-utf-to-xetex

makes it easy to use Emoticons and other Non-Latin characters with XeTeX.

"It works fine on my box."

There is probably a lot of room for improvement, so, please share feedback.

Does something like this already exist?

Sincerely,

Grant Rettke

I’ve been meaning to try XeTeX in org-mode to
create PDF from plaintex and latex.

  https://orgmode.org/elpa.html

Having followed the instructions above, 
how do I disable the builtin Emacs 26.1 Org Mode?

Then, which of the following to install?

  org                9.1.13        available  gnu
  org                20180625      available  org
  org-edna           1.0beta6      available  gnu
  org-plus-contrib   20180625      available  org

Usually the problem is that the version of Org-Mode distributed with
Emacs get's loaded before
the version that /you/ want loaded. A giveaway is when you call
org-version and emacs-version you see

Org-mode version 8.2.10 (this is on GNU Emacs 25.3.1).

The solution is to load Org-Mode 9 early on in your startup process.

This package ought to work with any of them that are version 9 and above.

Tested it on Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-836-g58b512

I picked that one for Emacs 26.1 and 27.0.50.

The following lines in .emacs don’t raise debug warnings.

  (package-initialize)
  (require 'package)
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

Hoping to publish a plaintex fragment with unicode by XeTeX.
