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.
