A TeX-style document engine for Scala.

Why texish

texish lays out and renders documents the way TeX does. You write in a small TeX-like language — macros, math mode, boxes and glue — and the engine breaks paragraphs into lines and lines into pages, then draws them through a pluggable backend.

\section{Introduction}
It is well known that $E = mc^2$. The displayed form,
$$ \int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx = \frac{\sqrt\pi}{2}, $$
follows from the Gaussian integral.

Body text is set in Latin Modern Roman, math in the matching Latin Modern Math through an OpenType MATH table, and monospaced text in Latin Modern Mono — one coherent family across prose, equations, and code.

What’s here

• Getting Started — install texish and render your first document.
• Guide — the document format, text and markup, mathematics, figures and images, and the inline vector-graphics mode.
• Reference — the command-line tool and a command cheat sheet.

What it does

• Knuth-Plass line breaking with Liang hyphenation, legal page breaks, and widow/orphan control, all in a point-space coordinate system.
• TeX math mode — inline $…$ and centered display $$…$$: fractions, radicals, scripts, stretchy delimiters, accents, big operators, and matrices.
• A document format (\use{document}) — title blocks, numbered sections, lists, quotations, figures and tables with captions, and footnotes.
• Clickable links and images — \href/\url become real PDF link annotations; \includegraphics places PNG and JPEG images.
• Vector graphics — \picture draws shapes, paths, and placed type inline, through the same pipeline as the text.
• Three platforms — the JVM (Graphics2D raster), Scala Native (Cairo PDF + image), and Scala.js.
