Description

retex is a TeX engine written in Rust 'from scratch'. It is a clean-room reimplementation of lualatex: it reads the same LaTeX packages and fonts from an installed TeX Live tree and produces the same PDF. On the documents we test, the pages are pixel-identical to lualatex's at 300 dpi. It is faster, runs as many passes as a document needs on its own, and reports errors in a form that says what is wrong and how to fix it.

Version history 2

  1. 1.3.0 016c5dc42e
  2. 1.2.0 5f9afb0f22

Upstream's version as each commit to the port's Makefile set it, or as this site first saw it in the system's packages; the tree's own revisions are not versions here.

Install

Binary package:

pkg_add retex

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/print/retex && make install

Dependency graph

Ports that need it on the left, what it needs to run on the right (to build, as it needs nothing to run); at most 8 of each. "Dependencies" below lists them all.
