I tried texdoc novel and got many (over 30) errors of the form

 (134): Illegal character <22> in hex string

How do I use the class?

I also tried pdflatex novel-example with no success.

    I get a pdf with texdoc, but the main documentation seems to be in html: mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/novel/doc/…

  • novel-example.tex requires lualatex. Only change: the magic comment from % !TeX TS-program = LuaLaTeX to % !TeX TS-program = lualatex. (Using MiKTeX+ TeXstudio)

  • Thanks to the two respondants. I also got a pdf with texdoc but with over 30 reported errors. Doesn't give a safe feeling. I eventually found where novel-example.tex was situated (kpsewhich did not find it) and changed the magic comment to get it processed via lualatex.

  • Magic comment fixed in version 1.80 of novel. The capitalized LuaLaTeX only succeeds in the TeXworks editor.

I am the author of novel. Its documentation is in HTML, not PDF. And, its *tex files must be run with lualatex (not texdoc).

Just re-processed some files with novel (TeXlive 2022, Linux). No problem.
