FAQPage Schema
How do I check LaTeX and Quarto documents for grammar and typos without modifying the source files?▼

To check grammar and typos without modifying source files, run the proofreading pipeline on your LaTeX and Quarto documents. It scans the text and saves per-file quality reports to the quality_reports/ directory, leaving your original sources completely unchanged.

What is the best way to generate quality reports for Markdown and Typst academic writing projects?▼

Generating quality reports for Markdown and Typst academic writing is done by running the proofreading pipeline. It identifies consistency and overflow issues, then outputs detailed reports with suggested fixes into a dedicated quality_reports/ directory for easy review.

Can I use automated proofreading to detect text overflow and consistency issues across Slides and Quarto projects?▼

Yes, you can use automated proofreading to detect text overflow and consistency issues across Slides and Quarto projects. The pipeline checks these documents and produces detailed per-file reports highlighting location, current text, and suggested fixes.

Does the document quality checker support .tex, .qmd, .typ, and .md file formats?▼

Yes, the document quality checker supports .tex, .qmd, .typ, and .md file formats. It analyzes these files across your projects and generates corresponding markdown reports, such as FILENAME_report.md for .tex files and FILENAME_qmd_report.md for .qmd files.

How do I review suggested fixes after running a document proofreading scan?▼

To review suggested fixes after a document proofreading scan, navigate to the quality_reports/ directory. The pipeline saves detailed per-file markdown reports there, listing each issue's location, current text, and recommended corrections for your review.

Why should I use a non-destructive proofreading tool for academic writing and technical reports?▼

Using a non-destructive proofreading tool for academic writing preserves your original sources for auditing and review. It identifies grammar, typos, and consistency issues, generating separate per-file reports rather than directly editing your tracked documents.
