LuaTeXit

LuaTeXit is a Discord.py bot coded by @leothelion_ for enhanced LaTeX experience on Discord.

Features

LuaTeXit started as a fork of Paradox/TeXit, but has since diverged significantly, with special attention towards TeX compilation commands and other quirks.

• Multiple TeX compilers, rather than a single hardcoded one. This addresses limitations pertaining to encoding, font selection, and ease of language support (especially non-ASCII, e.g. CJK):

  • pdftex / pdf — pdfLaTeX
  • luatex / lua — LuaLaTeX (default)
  • plainlua — plain LuaTeX
  • plainpdf / pdfplain — plain pdfTeX
  • pytex / python — LuaLaTeX + PythonTeX
  • xetex / xelatex — XeLaTeX (currently disabled)

• Typst-related commands

• Preamble management, so servers can submit, review and reuse shared preambles.

• GitHub lookups on repositories and issues.

• Assortment of utility/fun commands: run help in Discord for the full list.

Getting started

See config/README.md for instructions on how to configure and run your own instance.
