Realtime TeX: re-typesets only the paragraph you edit in ~1 ms with an unmodified LuaTeX. Exact, embeddable.

About the project

A library for editors that re-typesets only the paragraph you edit in about 1 ms via an already-loaded LuaLaTeX, while a full compile runs in the background. Output matches a normal LuaLaTeX build.

Useful for
  • Embed live paragraph preview into a custom editor via the Rust, C or JSON-lines API
  • Verify that rtex live output matches the real PDF with the rtex verify command
  • Export a PDF from a LaTeX project with rtex export and correctness checking

4.5 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 11, 2026, 18:52 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100October 7, 2026October 11, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-11 (UTC), 16:37–18:42: 128 → 131 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +8 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 4 days old and already has 131 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #193.
  • About 12 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
