Re: [DISCUSSION] Setting LuaLaTeX as default when exporting to LaTeX/PDF

Hi. My context: ever since I started with my PhD Thesis some 15 years ago, I have been using LaTeX. I got into org-mode when I had to prepare a couple of interactive presentations to help people understand Python. Changing code and executing on the fly was the killer app for me. I use utf8, so I

Re: [DISCUSSION] Setting LuaLaTeX as default when exporting to LaTeX/PDF

So we are torn between two equally potent arguments. If you want/need latex-preview, forget about lualatex, but then restrict yourself to character sets it handles and forget about fancy utf8 support. If you want/need utf8 support, forget about latex-preview and compilation speed (at least FTMB) L

Re: [DISCUSSION] Setting LuaLaTeX as default when exporting to LaTeX/PDF

Karthik, thanks for the email, including those screencasts. You are right, lualatex is too slow for use in generating previews. Do you have any ideas about how we could improve the handling of utf-8 without sacrificing the speed of the preview system? Leo On Wed, Apr 02 2025, Pedro Andres Aranda

Hi again Actually, what I would do after looking around is * short term (even as a bug fix in 9.7): modifying the error message and say that unsupported Unicode characters can only be dealt with in XETEX or LUALATEX. * Long term as a new feature in 9.8: introducing two custom variables, one to enab

Re: [DISCUSSION] Setting LuaLaTeX as default when exporting to LaTeX/PDF

Thanks for the complete explanation. This is an argument with real weight and I fully understand. That lualatex is slower to start up is something even the overleaf.com people are struggling with. So we have to live with weak UTF.8 support w/preview versus good UTF-8 support with slw preview (

Re: [DISCUSSION] Setting LuaLaTeX as default when exporting to LaTeX/PDF

I generally agree with Pedro about making lualatex the default. Personally, I moved to it several years ago because of the weak, and unstable, support for unicode in pdflatex. Note that Juan Manuel Macías posted here the following quote from Joseph Wright [1]: >> The time to move to LuaTeX for ne

Re: [DISCUSSION] Setting LuaLaTeX as default when exporting to LaTeX/PDF

I'm against moving to `luatex' as the default compiler. I'm decently familiar with LaTeX, having used it to write papers and even my resume. I just tried to compile a relatively simple LaTeX file using `luatex' on my Fedora Linux machine with the `texlive-full' package installed. I got a bunch o

It turns out that the timestamp-down sorting function ignores the hours/minutes in the timestamp and only looks at the date. It took me a lot of time to figure that out! Do you think it'd be good to add this information to the documentation? Currently docs for tsia-down only says "Sort by inac
