| primary |
TeXLive is a complete distribution of the TeX typesetting system and all
the common components used together with it.
This package installs most of the core programs except for the advanced
engines, as well as some extensions and additional programs.
|
| docs |
This sub-package contains the documentation for all of the TeXlive
programs.
|
| bibtex |
This sub-package contains the BibTeX extension.
BibTeX is a reference management software for formatting lists of
references. BibTeX is meant to make it easy to cite sources in a
consistent manner, by separating bibliographic information from its
representation.
|
| engine_hitex |
This sub-package contains the HiTeX engine.
HiTeX brings reflowing output to the TeX world via the HINT file format.
It is meant to produce great output for use with various mobile devices
where the screen size is not known at the time the document is first being
layed out.
|
| engine_luatex |
This sub-package contains the LuaTeX engine.
LuaTex is an extended version of pdfTeX that uses Lua as an embedded
scripting language. Like XeTeX it supports Unicode and modern fonts but
is is extremely flexible due to being scriptable. It is meant as the
successor of Omega/Aleph (from which it inherited some features like
multi-directional typesetting) and pdfTeX.
|
| engine_pdftex |
This sub-package contains the pdfTeX engine.
The pdfTeX engine allows to render TeX sources directly to PDF files
whereas the original engine only supports DVI output.
|
| engine_xetex |
This sub-package contains the XeTeX engine.
XeTeX features native support for Unicode and modern font formats. It
allows for advanced typographic features like glyphs, ligatures and
variable font weights. Microtypography is supported as well.
|
| synctex |
This sub-package contains SyncTeX.
SyncTeX is a utility that allows for synchronization between the source
files and the document output. It enables various TeX editors to jump
right to the position in e.g. the generated PDF file that the cursor was
in your source.
|
| tlmgr |
This sub-package contains the tlmgr utility as well as several perl
modules used by the TL core infrastructure.
|
| utils |
This sub-package contains various programs useful when working with but
not directly depending on TeX.
|
| xindy |
This sub-package contains the Xindy package.
Xindy is a flexible program for sorting and formatting book indexes. It
was written as a successor of TeX's Makeindex program. In contrast to the
latter it features good support for many languages in addition to English
as well as many standard character encodings including Unicode.
