upTeX, upLaTeX ― unicode version of pTeX, pLaTeX

Updated at 21 Nov 2021
[ Japanese ] [ Obsolete Versions ]

Abstract

I am developing a Unicode version of ASCII pTeX (a Japanese-localized TeX). I named it `upTeX', `upLaTeX'.
The character encoding for input and output is UTF-8. The upTeX treats codepoints of CJK characters as Hanzi,Kanji,Hanja/Kana/CJK symbol/Hangul (漢字,汉字,한자/仮名/CJK記号/한글).
It can treat original LaTeX with \inputenc{utf8} and Babel (Latin/Cyrillic/Greek etc.) by switching \kcatcode. Moreover, it can also treat Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Japanese, and Korean simultaneously.

This package has been developed on Tsuchimura-san's ptetex3, UTF-8対応(3), UTF-8対応(4), UTF-8対応(5) and now is based on TeX Live svn. I thank Tsuchimura-san and TeX Live maintainers.
