We sent the 2025-11-01 release of the LaTeX kernel to CTAN last weekend. By now, it’s available to users in TeX Live and MiKTeX.

News from the tagging project

The tagging project remains the major focus of the team, and in this release we have extended what happens when you give the command \DocumentMetadata. This now always loads the new code we are working on in latex-lab. Tagging remains opt-in, still needing

\DocumentMetadata{lang = ..., tagging = on}

We have worked across the tagging codebase, extending tagging sockets, normalizing key names and starting on support for contexts (for example linked to font size).

For better math tagging, we now support intent attributes: these allow for example |x| to be read as more than ‘bar x bar’. Also notable for math mode is that we have fixed an issue with tabular cells: these now get the correct MathML representation.

Other improvements and changes

The newsletter also covers various other small enhancements or corrections that we provide with the November release.

Enjoy – Joseph
