✨ mtx-chars(1) — MkII Character Table Generators ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about mtx-chars 💖 it's the MkII Character Table Generators and it's giving very much "quietly does the most" energy. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtx-chars — MkII Character Table Generators 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mtxrun --script chars [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

like… that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. you call mtxrun, you pass --script chars, you toss in some options, maybe some filenames if you're feeling generous 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

MkII Character Table Generators 💅

(yes, that's genuinely the whole description. the manpage is a person of few words. lowkey iconic of it tbh.)

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --xtx — generates xetx-*.tex, which is the file that xetex uses. so if xetex is your girl, this is the flag for you ✨
  • --pdf — generates pdfr-def.tex, which is the file that pdftex uses. pdftex girlies, this one's yours 💖
  • --entities — generates the entities table. that's it. that's the whole job. no notes 👑

👑 AUTHOR 👑

want more ConTeXt lore, plus the whole toolset that ships with it? the plug is right here, bestie:

ngl, nothing in here is dangerous, deprecated, or cursed. it's just three flags generating three tables. you're safe. go wild 🧚

and that's the whole vibe check, babe 🍓 this was version 0.10, dated 01-01-2025, and honestly? she ate 💅 mwah, go generate some character tables ✨💖
