XeTeX ⇒ Common Source Files for Windows and Linux

[koleygr]

Hi,
I am gland that "discovered" your community...
I am Greek and i have just made a site to suggest LaTeX (and other open source programs) to the teachers of my country. I am an Ubuntu user and so
i can help these kind of users. My problem is that I don't use windows and
i found a friend to give them advises through my site. I wonder if there is a way to have in my site common tex files (XeTeX) for Ubuntu and windows users...

If it is not possible I would appreciate if somebody of you can suggest me a way to do the less possible changes to my files, so that windows users can
use them too..

Thank you in advance.

All inputs to TeX are plain text. XeTeX differs in that it allows Unicode, not just ASCII, text, but the entire reason Unicode was developed was to standardize the upper-range ("extended ASCII" and other) characters. That's the whole point of TeX---it's 100% portable between machines (provided that your Web browser or SCP/SFTP program is smart enough to recognize that Windows/DOS text files use <CR><LF> as end-of-line, UNIX uses <LF> only, and Apple uses <CR> only and convert the file accordingly).

Hi,

• mark the point "Notify me when a reply is posted" below the edit field when posting a question
• enter your email address in the user control panel ("Edit account settings")

Then it should work, I suppose.

Btw. I see you marked your last post with the checkmark being solved. However to mark a topic as solved, the very first post (the question) has to be edited, choosing the checkmark as topic icon. It would be great if you can also make this edit.

Thank you Stefan_K...
I did that...
It was hard to find by myself the "notify"...
Usualy in forums you can ask for notification without
posting...
