Software: TeX Live is no longer installed
CoreDesktop dropped the texlive group (22 packages, about 3 GB) in e958e20, so remove its page, and tell Pandoc users which packages give it a LaTeX engine for PDFs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Why it's here
|
||||
|
||||
- **Write once, publish anywhere.** Draft in Markdown and hand people a Word file, a web page or a PDF.
|
||||
- **PDFs out of the box.** TeX Live is installed too, so `pandoc notes.md -o notes.pdf` works.
|
||||
- **PDFs too.** For `pandoc notes.md -o notes.pdf`, install a LaTeX engine first: `sudo pacman -S texlive-latexextra texlive-fontsrecommended`. CoreDesktop leaves TeX Live out, as it takes a few gigabytes.

## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
TeX Live is a complete distribution of TeX and LaTeX, the typesetting system used for academic papers, theses, books and anything heavy on mathematics. You write a plain-text `.tex` file with markup for structure and formulas, and LaTeX lays it out as a typeset PDF. TeX Live bundles the engines (pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX), common packages and fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pdflatex paper.tex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why it's here
|
||||
|
||||
- **Typesetting that looks right.** Equations, references and page layout come out to publication standard.
|
||||
- **Pandoc's PDF engine.** Pandoc uses LaTeX to turn Markdown and other formats into PDFs.
|
||||
|
||||
## On CoreDesktop
|
||||
|
||||
CoreDesktop installs the `texlive` package group from pacman, which brings in the main TeX Live packages. Run `pdflatex`, `xelatex` or `lualatex` in a terminal. `update` keeps it current with the rest of the pacman packages.
