How to change pdflatex to xelatex in nbconvert

[Xuefeng LIU]

When exporting an ipython notebook to PDF(in the File/Download as  menu on a browser), 

the default tex compiler is pdflatex, but it cannot support Chinese-Japanese-Korean characters.

So I would like to change "pdflatex" to "xelatex" or other latex system. 

I am wondering how to customize the setting for ipython.

Below is the command that I run on server:

sudo /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/ipython3 notebook --profile-dir=/etc/ces/ipython/profile_myserver/ --user=XXXX --ipython-dir=/home/XXXX/.config/ipython --notebook-dir=/home/XXXX --logfile=/tmp/notebook.log

I add one option to "/etc/ces/ipython/profile_myserver/ipython_config.py":

c.PDFPostProcessor.latex_command = [u'xelatex', u'{filename}']

But it does not work.

Could anyone give me some advice?

Thanks ahead!

Hi, 

I found the solution. Sorry to bother all of you.

c.PDFExporter.latex_command = ['xelatex', '{filename}']

I got this solution in the answer to other questions by accident.

I am wondering where is the documentation for all the option description.
