this is a long(ish) term TODO. star-tex should be able to process LaTeX documents.

some of the requirements for processing LaTeX documents from the point of view of the TeX engine are listed there:

• https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb41-1/tb127ltnews31.pdf (p5: "LaTeX requirements on engine primitives")

i.e. support for these primitives is now required by LaTeX:

• \expanded
• \ifincsname
• \ifpdfprimitive
• \pdfcreationdate
• \pdfelapsedtime
• \pdffiledump
• \pdffilemoddate
• \pdffilesize
• \pdflastxpos
• \pdflastypos
• \pdfmdfivesum
• \pdfnormaldeviate
• \pdfpageheight
• \pdfpagewidth
• \pdfprimitive
• \pdfrandomseed
• \pdfresettimer
• \pdfsavepos
• \pdfsetrandomseed
• \pdfshellescape
• \pdfstrcmp
• \pdfuniformdeviate

and, for the UTF-8 font support (which might need its own todo at some point):

• \Uchar
• \Ucharcat
• \Umathcode
