texlive-plaingeneric - Required for Emacs org-mode PDF export
=============================================================
Installed: 2026-02-20
Command:
sudo pacman -S texlive-plaingeneric
What it provides:
- ulem.sty (underlining/strikethrough - required by org-mode LaTeX export)
- tracklang.sty (language tracking - required by datetime2 package)
- Other plain TeX utilities (soul, catcodes, expkv-bundle, etc.)
Why it was needed:
Emacs org-mode PDF export (C-c C-e l p) was failing because ulem.sty
was missing. This forced us to use pandoc as a workaround for org-to-PDF
conversion in the finances project. Pandoc works but has limitations:
- Ignores #+ATTR_LATEX table alignment directives
- Defaults all table columns to left-aligned (needs lua filter workaround)
- Less integration with org-mode features
With this package installed, Emacs native org export works and
#+ATTR_LATEX directives are respected, eliminating the need for
pandoc and custom lua filters.
Dependencies:
texlive-bin, texlive-basic (both already installed)
