NAME

       xetex - extended TeX with native support for Unicode, OpenType, system fonts

SYNOPSIS

       xetex [options] [&format] [file|\commands]

DESCRIPTION

       XeTeX  (xetex)  is  a  TeX  engine with native support for Unicode, OpenType, and system-installed fonts,
       using third-party libraries (such as ICU, HarfBuzz, and Freetype). It was developed by Jonathan  Kew  for
       SIL.

       XeTeX  includes  the e-TeX extensions and many extensions from pdfTeX, sometimes with different primitive
       names.

       XeTeX is now released as part of TeX Live <https://tug.org/texlive>.

OPTIONS

       XeTeX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of the other TeX programs in the  Web2C
       implementation.   Here  we  list  only  additions/deletions of command line options which are specific to
       XeTeX; see etex(1) for common options. Additions:

       -no-pdf
              Generate XeTeX's extended DVI (.xdv) output instead of pdf.

       -output-driver cmd
              Run cmd instead of xdvipdfmx to translate xdv to pdf.

       -papersize string
              Set pdf media size to string.

       Removals: -draftmode, -enc, -ipc, -ipc-start, -translate-file.
