I want to write a letter in Hindi. I want to use latex to create the pdf document in Hindi. I don't want to have transliteration from english to hindi.
Use xelatex (which uses UTF-8 input) with an appropriate font (e.g. Lohit).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari]{Lohit Hindi}
\begin{document}
यह एक परीक्षण है

I'm a Technical Writer trying to output a Python-Sphinx website into a .pdf via LaTeX. The manual has a safety regulations and environmental compliance section with about 40+ languages in it. These languages all appear as-is in the base file - and .rst files have the same unicode support as .txt, so if Bulgarian renders appropriately in Cyrillic in the base file I'm assuming it's encoded correctly.
I already know to use either LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX to render unicode properly, and I've already found that TeX files compiled from Sphinx/.rst render better under LuaLaTeX. Even so, under LuaLaTeX, the Greek and Cyrillic don't render at all (nor do accented letters, but for some reason Germanic eth/ð does render).
Everything I've seen on multi-language support involves one of several packages that require you to bracket each section with something like \begin{Russian}, but for all 40+ languages. With the base file being in a different format and the .tex file being generated automatically, every time I update the manual it would save over all the work I've done.
The best solution for me would be to put all the multi-language support in the header, and just say "hey dumb dumb... just render the unicode text as-is". As it is, the auto-generated frontspiece and ToC is unsatisfactory, so I'm keeping the header saved in a separate document and I'm pasting the better header in. Front-loading multi-language support by defining everything in the header is definitely the most ideal solution.
Any help would be good.
The following is the header provided by Python-Sphinx, with minor adjustments:

Caveat: This won't give correct hyphenation and other special language settings (e.g. French spacing for punctuation marks), but it will show the text. If you want these other features as well, you will have to deal with babel or polyglossia.
The unicode capabilities of xe- and lualatex only fully unfold if you also use a font which does have a good coverage of symbols.
For example with the Noto Serif font:
% !TeX TS-program = lualatex

I am writing a research paper in LaTeX. The paper is about Urdu Language Processing and i have to write Urdu words within English paragraphs. I have tried this:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\newfontface{\urdu}[Script=Arabic]{Jameel Noori Nastaleeq}
#in the text, write Urdu like this:
In your document {\urdu اردو ایسے لکھیں} write Urdu like this.
But it doesnot work for me. I need help for this.
While writing in multiple languages under polyglossia you have to specify them (see this for a detailed answer on how to write Urdu - English mixed documents in Latex).
Here is a MWE.
documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{urdu}
\setmainfont[Path=/Users/ghalib/Library/Fonts/]{ufonts.com_jameel-noori-nastaleeq.ttf}
\begin{document}
In your document \texturdu{ اردو ایسے لکھیں} write Urdu like this.
\vspace{0.5in}
\noindent
\begin{center}
\texturdu{
اردو ہے جس کا نام ، ہمیں جانتے ہیں داغ \\
سارے جہاں میں دھوم ہماری زباں کی ہے\\
\hspace{6cm} (داغ دھلوی)
}
\end{center}

How can I show into MathJax live preview the word "ñ"?
I've tried to insert This latex name Mu\~{n}oz in http://www.mathjax.org/demos/scaling-math/
But the \~{n} is not replaced to ñ
In LaTeX one may use \~ or the Unicode input itself:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
This \LaTeX{} name Mu\~{n}oz Muñoz.
\end{document}
MathJax is limited, but it does support using the Unicode character as input when you use:
\hbox{This LaTeX name Muñoz}
Note the switch to "text mode" via \hbox.
How can I temporarily cause pdfLaTeX to forget everything that I've told it and start with a new document class?
I've modified the example environment from the lshort document:
\newwrite\examplesx#out
\newenvironment{examplesx}{%
\begingroup% Lets Keep the Changes Local
\#bsphack
\immediate\openout \examplesx#out \jobname.exa
\let\do\#makeother\dospecials\catcode`\^^M\active
\def\verbatim#processline{%
\immediate\write\examplesx#out{\the\verbatim#line}}%
\verbatim#start
}{%
\immediate\closeout\examplesx#out\#esphack\endgroup%
\noindent\makebox[\textwidth][l]{%
\begin{minipage}[c]{0.45\textwidth}%
\small\verbatiminput{\jobname.exa}
\end{minipage}%
\hspace*{0.1\textwidth}%
\framebox{%
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}%
\small\input{\jobname.exa}%
\end{minipage}
}%
}\vspace*{\parskip}%
}
and it mostly works, but I want to be able to do something like
\begin{examplesx}
\section{Section}
\end{examplesx}
and have it show up as a section in a box. I also would like it to typeset lists using the standard article style, even if I use it in beamer
I think that the easiest way of doing this is to compile some small document and then include the resultant pdf as an image into the larger document. Much simpler even if not exactly what you want. I have done this to show, in a Beamer presentation, what LaTeX articles look like.
Of course if its a REALLY simple document (e.g., a simple block of text) that you want to have inside beamer, I could recommend that you mimic the document with a TikZ "picture" that contains some text.
Maybe another approach: instead of trying to typeset things in beamer as if they would be done in article, simply typeset them with the article document class and include the result the in the beamer document.
With tcolorbox this can be done automatically:
% !TeX program = txs:///arara
% arara: pdflatex: {synctex: on, interaction: nonstopmode, shell: yes}
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\begin{tcblisting}{
comment only,
pdf comment,
compilable listing,
run pdflatex,
}
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\section{Section Title}
test
\end{document}
\end{tcblisting}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This is my LaTex script:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Jenson Classico}
\begin{document}
ąęśćłó
\end{document}
I compile this using xelatex through eclipse plugin.
As Jenson Classico has no polish characters I have edited this font to add them. In Microsoft Office it works fine (I am able to use polish characters). Unfortunately in pdf generated from above tex-file it doesn't. If I use any other font (e.g. Arial) it works like a dream.
Any suggesions? I really don't have any more ideas...
Try using the polyglossia package.
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setdefaultlanguage{polish}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Jenson Classico}
\begin{document}
ąęśćłó
\end{document}
Use \char" followed by the Unicode value.
For example, ąęśćłó would be: \char"0105\char"0119\char"015B\char"0107\char"0142\char"00F3.
