XeTeX (xetex) is a TeX engine with native support for Unicode, OpenType, and system-installed fonts, using third-party libraries (such as ICU, HarfBuzz, and Freetype). It was developed by Jonathan Kew for SIL.XeTeX includes the e-TeX extensions and many extensions from pdfTeX, sometimes with different primitive names.

- Generate XeTeX's extended DVI (.xdv) output instead of pdf.
