XeLaTeX

Hi there! A-Shell is really powerful when processing LaTeX like LuaLaTeX and pdfLaTeX. But it cannot support XeLaTeX.

Hi, I’ve tried cross-compiling XeLaTeX several times for iOS, but I’m afraid it cannot be done with the current source code. It contains too many calls to functions and libraries that only exist on OS X or on Linux. Making it work for iOS would require rewriting everything, which is too much work,

in my experiments, LuaLaTeX has more features than XeLaTeX.
