The specific xetex package documentations: http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/ For the font handling, see http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontspec/ > This is still LaTeX with a couple more macros, right? And a couple of different packages for specific tasks (font handling, language support, color handling etc.). Of course it's not as far apart as context, which is a different macro language to tex, but still it's significantly more apart than pdflatex, because latex and pdflatex have the same range of packages, while xetex differs. It's something "inbetween". > Could you change the combox to something less cryptic that 'Use xetex'? What do you propose? > Hmm, looking for it... where is it? I swear I saw it once!

No. But I guess it will entail specific syntax as well (or lualatex will). Jürgen
