LuaTeX-ja wiki

We will move to GitHub (Wiki (English)). This site (and repository) on OSDN will be kept as much as possible, but it may not be updated.

LuaTeX-ja is a macro package to typeset Japanese texts using Lua(La)TeX. A goal of this project is to provide an equal or superior typesetting system to ASCII pTeX, which is a traditional standard Japanese TeX engine.
