CTeX 2.9

CTeX is a TeX/LaTeX solution developed by CTEX.ORG that streamlines high‑quality Chinese typesetting and bilingual document preparation. It provides a set of classes, macros, and configuration defaults tailored for Chinese typography, so authors can focus on writing while CTeX handles fonts, line breaking, punctuation, and layout conventions. Compatible with modern TeX engines (XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, and pdfLaTeX) and mainstream TeX distributions, CTeX is widely used for theses, journal articles, books, and technical documentation.

Key features:

• Chinese-ready classes (such as ctexart, ctexrep, and ctexbook) with sensible defaults
• Robust support for simplified and traditional Chinese, plus bilingual typesetting
• Automatic font configuration and proper handling of spacing and punctuation
• Works with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX for full Unicode workflows; supports pdfLaTeX via CJK
• Integrates with common TeX distributions and tools for bibliography and indexing
• Comprehensive documentation and community support via CTEX.ORG

Who it’s for:

• Students, researchers, and professionals who need reliable Chinese or mixed Chinese–English typesetting with LaTeX
• Publishers and editors seeking consistent, standards‑compliant layouts for Chinese-language content

With CTeX, you get a practical, community-driven toolkit that makes Chinese typesetting in LaTeX straightforward, consistent, and production-ready.
