Define a TeX Engine.

Description

Define and register a TeX engine for authoring, typesetting, and rendering LaTeX documents.

Usage

TeXengine(name,
          version,
          command,
          isEngine,
          fontFile,
          glyphIndex,
          options=NULL,
          preamble="",
          dviSuffix=".dvi")
registerEngine(engine)

Arguments

`name`	Character name for the engine.
`version`	A function with no arguments that returns the engine version as a character value.
`command`	The command used to typeset a latex document with this engine.
`isEngine`	A function with one argument, a `"DVI"` object, that returns a logical indicating whether this engine was used to generate that DVI output.
`fontFile`	A function with one argument, a font description from a font definition opertaion in DVI output, that returns a path to the appropriate font file.
`glyphIndex`	A function with one argument, a raw vector of bytes from a set char operation in DVI output, that returns an integer index of the appropriate glyph.
`options`	Any required options to `command` to ensure that the engine generates DVI output.
`preamble`	A preamble that is added during authoring of a complete LaTeX document from a LaTeX snippet. See `author` and `grid.latex`.
`dviSuffix`	The file suffix used for DVI files that are generated by this engine.
`engine`	A `"TeXengine"` object, as generated by `TeXengine()`.

Details

TeXengine() can be used to create a typesetting engine for use with, e.g., grid.latex. Registering the engine via registerEngine() means that the engine can be specified by name.
