The document is a German translation of the map/guide to the world of LuaLaTeX. Coverage supports both new users and package developers. Apart from the introductory material, the document gathers information from several sources, and offers links to others.

This package allows LuaTeX to load packages from the default package.path and package.cpath locations. This could be useful to load external Lua modules, including modules installed via LuaRocks.

The package uses Lua code to provide visible indications of boxes, glues, kerns and penalties in the PDF output. The package is known to work in LaTeX and Plain TeX documents.

This package is a slightly modified version of auto-pst-pdf by Will Robertson, which itself is a wrapper for pst-pdf by Rolf Niepraschk. The package allows the use of LuaLaTeX together with PostScript related code, e.g., PSTricks.

The package looks at all hyphenation breaks in the document, comparing them against a white-list prepared by the author. If a hyphenation break is found, for which there is no entry in the white-list, the package flags the line where the break starts. The author may then either add the hyphenation to the white-list, or adjust the document to avoid the break.

This package is developed to generate modular addition and multiplication tables for positive integers. It provides an easy way to generate modular addition and modular multiplication tables for positive integers in LaTeX documents. The commands in the package have optional arguments for the formatting of tables. These commands can be used in an environment similar to a tabular or array environment. The commands can also be used with the booktabs package, which provides nice formatting of tables in LaTeX.

This package provides a wrapper for the truncate package, thus fixing issues related to LuaTeX's hyphenation algorithm.

Luaotfload is an adaptation of the ConTeXt font loading system for the Plain and LaTeX formats. It allows OpenType fonts to be loaded with font features accessible using an extended font request syntax while providing compatibilitywith XeTeX. By indexing metadata in a database it facilitates loading fonts by their proper names instead of file names.

This is a collection of packages for LuaTeX, a TeX engine using Lua as an embedded scripting and extension language, with native support for Unicode, OpenType/TrueType fonts, and both PDF and DVI output. The LuaTeX engine itself, and plain formats, are in collection-basic.

Unmodified TeX has very few ways of preventing widows and orphans. In documents with figures, section headings, and equations, TeX can stretch the vertical glue between items in order to prevent widows and orphans, but many documents have no figures or headings. TeX can also shorten the page by 1 line, but this will give each page a different length which can make a document look uneven. The typical solution is to strategically insert \looseness=1, but this requires manual editing every time that the document is edited. Lua-widow-control is essentially an automation of the \looseness method: it uses Lua callbacks to find stretchy paragraphs, then it lengthens them to remove widows and orphans. Lua-widow-control is compatible with all LuaTeX and LuaMetaTeX-based formats.

GopherLua is a Lua5.1(+ goto statement in Lua5.2) VM and compiler. It provides Go APIs that allow you to easily embed a scripting language to your Go host programs.

Luar is designed to make using Lua from Go more convenient. Go structs, slices and maps can be automatically converted to Lua tables and vice-versa. The resulting conversion can either be a copy or a proxy. In the latter case, any change made to the result will reflect on the source.

Any Go function can be made available to Lua scripts, without having to write C-style wrappers.

Luar support cyclic structures (lists, etc.).

User-defined types can be made available to Lua as well: their exported methods can be called and usual operations such as indexing or arithmetic can be performed.
