Standardize toolchain to use Luatex #15

Open foleyj2 opened 2 years ago

foleyj2 commented 2 years ago

From Issue #5 , we need to minimize work by standardizing our build tool rather that supporing *TeX Marcel suggests luatex since many of the more powerful tikz capabilities depend upon it. I'm fine for that. Tasks:

[x] Test the current code with luatex
[ ] Make sure Icelandic works properly with luatex
[ ] Update documentation and magic comments (emacs, TeXstudio) to use luatex
[ ] Give some examples to show why people should bother using luatex

At least the latest version I tested generated a pdf with LuaTex

The template now assumes LuaTeX or XeLaTeX and will throw an error for others.
