Environment Testing

To ensure TexSlide works properly, please run the following tests locally to confirm your LaTeX distribution and core packages (including multilingual support) are correctly installed and available.

Create a new file test.tex with the following content:

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
 
\ifxetex
    \usepackage{xeCJK}
    \newcommand{\testtext}{Test CJK}
    \newcommand{\enginestatus}{This is XeLaTeX}
\else
    \newcommand{\testtext}{No CJK support}
    \newcommand{\enginestatus}{This is pdfLaTeX}
\fi
 
\begin{document}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ll}
    \textbf{Package} & \textbf{Demonstration} \\
    \hline
    \texttt{amsmath} & $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$ \\
    \texttt{amssymb} & $\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}, \mathbb{N}, \exists, \forall, \infty$ \\
    \texttt{ifxetex} & \enginestatus \\
    \ifxetex \texttt{xeCJK} & \testtext \fi
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Execute the following commands to compile and check the generated test.pdf file content.

1. Using pdfLaTeX engine:

pdflatex test.tex

The generated test.pdf should display the following content:

2. Using XeLaTeX engine (with multilingual support):
