# The BXghost Package LaTeX: ghost insertion for proper xkanjiskip ## System requirements * TeX format: LaTeX * TeX engine: LuaTeX, XeTeX, pTeX, upTeX, and ApTeX (pTeX-ng) Since this package is intended to be used for creating documents in Japanese, it assumes appropriate classes and/or packages are loaded in some engines (e.g., LuaTeX-ja for LuaTeX and bxjscls for XeTeX). BXghost does not load any external packages automatically. ## Usage This package provides following commands: * `\eghostguarded{}` inserts *European ghost* (invisible and zero-width alphabets) before and after the ``. In math mode, it outputs only `` without the ghosts. * `\jghostguarded{}` inserts *Japanese ghost* (invisible and zero-width Japanese characters) before and after the ``. In math mode, it outputs only `` without the ghosts. In addition, the following package option is available: * `verb` patches the `\verb` command of LaTeX to be guarded by European ghost. ## Acknowledgements The logic and style of the code in this package is greatly inspired by [Package PXghost](https://gist.github.com/zr-tex8r/4461060) and various packages in [the BX series](http://zrbabbler.sp.land.to/package.html#ssec-bx).
