It’s a modern alternative to the pdfLaTeX compiler we usually utilize in this book if not mentioned otherwise. In Chapter 11, Using LaTeX in Science and Technology, we will explore Lua programming.
How to do it...
We will additionally load the lua-visual-debug package. Then, we will compile with LuaLaTeX as follows:
- Open your document or any sample file. Again, we will use the document from our first recipe in Chapter 1, Exploring Various...
