hi there,

Star-TeX v0.7.1 is out:

After a (very) long hiatus, development of Star-TeX has resumed.
Star-TeX is a pure-Go TeX engine, built upon/with modernc.org/knuth.

v0.7.1 brings pure-Go TeX → PDF generation.

Here are examples of generated PDFs:

PDF generation is still a bit shaky (see #24), but it's coming from the external PDF package we are using rather than a Star-TeX defect per se.

We'll try to fix that in the next version.
Now we'll work on bringing LaTeX support to the engine (working directly on modernc.org/knuth).
