FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a LaTeX project for package and cross-reference issues?▼

Auditing a LaTeX project involves analyzing document class, encoding, package order, and hyperref/cleveref setup to detect structural and cross-reference issues. The output includes a structured JSON finding, an action-focused fix plan, and minimal working examples to validate each recommended change.

Why does my Beamer presentation have overlay and aspect ratio problems?▼

Beamer overlay and aspect ratio problems stem from misconfigured document structures and overlay specifications. An end-to-end audit examines Beamer-specific setups and generates optimization guidance alongside minimal working examples to validate recommended overlay and aspect ratio corrections.

How do I fix TikZ externalization and compilation workflow errors?▼

Fix TikZ externalization and compilation workflow errors by auditing TikZ-heavy documents to detect externalization setup issues. The process yields a structured fix plan and minimal working examples that validate each change to ensure faster, reliable compilation.

Can I check biblatex and latexmk configurations in my LaTeX documents?▼

Yes, you can check biblatex and latexmk configurations through an end-to-end audit. It examines bibliography setup and compilation workflows, then outputs a structured JSON finding and an action-focused fix plan to remediate any detected packaging or workflow issues.

What is the best way to troubleshoot LaTeX document structure and packaging?▼

The best way to troubleshoot LaTeX document structure and packaging is an end-to-end audit covering document class, encoding, and package order. It delivers a structured JSON finding, an action-focused fix plan, and minimal working examples to ensure reliable document remediation.

When should I not use a comprehensive LaTeX audit for my documents?▼

Avoid a comprehensive LaTeX audit when working with non-LaTeX formats or simple single-file documents lacking Beamer, TikZ, or biblatex dependencies. The audit specifically targets complex structural, packaging, and cross-reference setups in articles, slides, and TikZ-heavy documents.
