Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top I'm looking for some good books on XeTeX to have them as references whenever I want to look up something or learn something new.
Level doesn't really matter, either novice or advanced would do but I'd really like the book(s) to be broad in content - like some of the LaTeX books that I've read: A Guide to LaTeX by H. Kopka and P. Daly The Not So Short Introduction to LATEX2ε by T. Oetiker Many thanks for any recommendations, XeTeX is in opposite to ConTeXt just another compiler engine (like PDFTeX) and not a separate typesetting system. So it can't do any harm to read LaTeX documentation. A kind of XeTeX documentation is given with the manuals of some specific packages. I'm sure you will find much more useful information on the XeTeX Project Homepage. Many books about LaTeX in general are mentioned here. Documentation about XeTeX can be found here. If you're interested in XeLaTex and read French, you may find this book useful: Maïeul Rouquette, (Xe)LaTeX appliqué aux sciences humaines, 2012. The code is open source.

The code below compiles successfully for a customized article class, but not with the book class [EDIT: no, actually, it fails both classes, for reasons explained by David Carlisle in his answer]. The problem appears to be in the \ProvidesClass command: it fails when I append a description to it inside the square brackets, but compiles once I comment it out. Any idea what is causing the problem, and what would be the proper way to handle this? Comment out the bit %[2016-04-20 v1.0 French LaTeX book class] and the MWE will compile.

LaTeX and Technical Links After about six months of writing my dissertation using TexWorks, I've figured out a format and a workflow that seems to be working.
(Where "working" means something like "I'm getting consistent writing accomplished and the output is properly and attractively formatted.") The workflow aspect of writing involves using Scrivener and TexWorks together. I don't rely on the multi-markup function in Scrivener to export to Tex, just because I don't want to deal with fixing the inevitable bugs. Rather, I use Scrivener for free-writing, outlining, and visualizing the structure of my document. I have a very small goal of 500 words a day that I can track using Scrivener's target word count feature. It's easy for me to view an outline, tag pieces of a document, and move things around quickly. I do all this in the "research" section of Scrivener, where I can also pull in PDF files and view them using split-screen. When it comes to composing actual chapters, though, I write in TexWorks. This is so that I don't have to go through and fix bugs from the way Scrivener might export it for TeX, and so that I'm compiling as I go (to avoid making a mistake early on that impacts the entire document).
I copy drafts from Tex to Scrivener into my "dissertation" section, where I also have word counts and goals. I make sure I'm only going in one direction (from Tex to Scrivener) so that I don't inadvertently copy over something I've written. One goal has been to get the format right ahead of time so I'm not spending a lot of time fixing that before I submit the document. With the template in place, that's pretty well accomplished. Another goal is to maximize writing time so I'm not fiddling with layout and fonts, and etc. That's partly accomplished in virtue of the first goal, but also because neither Scrivener nor TeX give me a lot of superfluous things to "play" with. And I can see exactly how much writing I've done using Scrivener's word target, so I'm not fooling myself. The dissertation layout itself is taken from the template on the University of Texas at Austin's website. It took me a little while to figure it out, because I thought I needed to copy some files into my file structure, or run "texhash", etc.
Instead, I put the "utdiss2.sty" file into the directory where I'm keeping all of my chapters. Basically, I have a "keatingdiss.tex" file which will call the individual chapters (using ). While I'm writing, I can use the % symbol to block out the chapters I'm not working on, so that compiling will only include the current chapter. I've adjusted the template only a very little bit. First, I need to include diacritical marks (I've decided not to use Devanāgarī, which makes things less complex). Second, I want to have a bibliography at the end of each chapter. Third, I have a few packages for tables and trees. The basic template is structured as below: Each document starts with and then contains sections and subsections, but no or is needed because they're compiled from within my main .tex file. They do all end with and , though, to give me a chapter bibliography. I'm using the author-year style of bibliography, but I need to go back through my bib file and insert curly brackets {} around the capital letters so that they're preserved, since the styles pretty much all make them lowercase.
