🛠️ Retex, a Faster LaTeX Engine
Summary
Retex is a clean-room, CC0 reimplementation of LuaLaTeX written in Rust that acts as a faster drop-in replacement or a modern TeX engine. It features nicer error messages, SVG and ODP/ODT output, native PDF/X support, auto-download of missing packages, and Python bindings.
Why it’s interesting
It is an entirely LLM-generated automatic machine translation of LuaLaTeX and related TeX tools.
