XETEX(1)                               General Commands Manual                              XETEX(1)



NAME
       xetex - extended TeX with native support for Unicode, OpenType, system fonts

SYNOPSIS
       xetex [options] [&format] [file|\commands]

DESCRIPTION
       XeTeX (xetex) is a TeX engine with native support for Unicode, OpenType, and system-installed
       fonts, using third-party libraries (such as ICU, HarfBuzz, and Freetype). It was developed by
       Jonathan Kew for SIL.

       XeTeX includes the e-TeX extensions and many extensions from pdfTeX, sometimes with different
       primitive names.

       XeTeX is now released as part of TeX Live <https://tug.org/texlive>.

OPTIONS
       XeTeX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of the other  TeX  programs
       in  the  Web2C implementation.  Here we list only additions/deletions of command line options
       which are specific to XeTeX; see etex(1) for common options. Additions:

       -no-pdf
              Generate XeTeX's extended DVI (.xdv) output instead of pdf.

       -output-driver cmd
              Run cmd instead of xdvipdfmx to translate xdv to pdf.

       -papersize string
              Set pdf media size to string.

       Removals: -draftmode, -enc, -ipc, -ipc-start, -translate-file.
