Description

My documents include Mandarin Chinese characters. So I'm wondering whether it is possible to add an argument to allowing switching latex engines?

Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Documenter.jl currently invokes the LaTeX engine and identify where to add a configuration option for selecting alternative engines like XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. Check the build pipeline for PDF generation and the relevant source files.
