Everything about LuaTeX
TeX-based computer typesetting system
LuaTeX, sometimes typeset as LuaTeX, is a TeX-based computer typesetting system which started as a version of pdfTeX with a Lua scripting engine embedded. After some experiments it was adopted by the TeX Live distribution as a successor to pdfTeX. Later in the project some functionality of Aleph was included. The project was originally sponsored by the Oriental TeX project, founded by Idris Samawi Hamid, Hans Hagen, and Taco Hoekwater. Wikipedia →
