Description z0idberg 2008-01-30 23:11:40 UTC
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Currently, Kile does not support XeTeX. Every time I compile a xetex file, I have to open manually the console and write “xelatex file.tex” and afterwards open the file with the pdf reader.

It would be great, if Kile would automatically detect if a file is written for xetex (or xelatex), e.g. if the fontspec package is loaded, and instead of opening pdflatex, it should open xelatex. 

Also, some config options would be really nice, e.g. in the quickstart. The user should be able to specify a XeTeX file.

Hi,

this is easy fix creating a new configuration on kile builders for xelatex.

add more xelatex tool configurations
add support for xelatex quickpreview in separate window
support for the previewwidget is missing

reloading your tool list is recommended

Can someone provide a proper xetex template document? I can then add it to the newdocument dialog.
