<title>Description</title>

<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="_tlack.xml" />

<para>Run the &XeTeX; typesetter on <replaceable>file</replaceable>,
usually creating <filename>file.pdf</filename>.  If the file argument
has no extension, <filename>.tex</filename> will be appended to it.
Instead of a file name, a set of &XeTeX; commands can be given, the
first of which must start with a backslash.</para>

<para>&XeTeX; has simple font installation; it can use any installed
fonts in the operating system without configuring &TeX; font metric.
As a result, &XeTeX; can access font features such as special
ligatures and variable font weights.</para>
