SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Reading arXiv papers in English LaTeX source is slow for Chinese-speaking researchers, and existing translators break formulas, cross-references, and citations. This Skill converts complete LaTeX paper projects into well-structured Chinese Markdown while preserving math, figures, tables, and references. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full LaTeX-to-Markdown conversion: Maps sections, abstracts, appendices, theorems, proofs, lists, and footnotes to equivalent Markdown structures with translated headings. - Preservation of technical content: Keeps formulas in LaTeX math syntax, converts cross-references to Markdown anchor links, turns citations into footnotes, and rewrites figures and tables as Markdown with correct relative image paths. - Custom command expansion: Pre-scans \newcommand, \renewcommand, and \def definitions, builds a mapping table, and expands macros (including multi-file projects via \input/\include) before translation. - Use Case: Download an arXiv paper's .tex source into a directory, run this Skill, and receive a <中文标题>.md file with translated prose, intact equations, linked figure/table references, and a footnote-based bibliography. ## Quick Start Translate the LaTeX paper in the current directory into a Chinese Markdown document, preserving all formulas, figures, tables, and citations.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate a LaTeX paper to Chinese Markdown?▼

Place the arXiv .tex source files in a directory and invoke the Skill. It locates the main file containing \documentclass and \begin{document}, translates the prose into Chinese, and outputs a Markdown file with preserved formulas, figures, and citations.

How to convert LaTeX equations and cross-references to Markdown?▼

Inline and display formulas are kept in original LaTeX math syntax without translation. Commands like \ref, \cref, and \eqref become Markdown anchor links such as [图 1](#fig:1), while \label becomes a {#anchor} on the heading.

Does it support multi-file LaTeX projects with \input?▼

Yes. The Skill identifies \input and \include commands in the main file, merges all referenced .tex files in order, and resolves image paths relative to the main file before translating.

How are LaTeX citations and custom macros handled?▼

Citations from \cite and \citet become footnote-style references with bibliography details at the document end. Custom commands defined via \newcommand, \renewcommand, or \def are pre-scanned, expanded, and method names are bolded.

What happens with TikZ figures or missing image files?▼

Complex TikZ diagrams are annotated with a note pointing to the original figure rather than converted. Missing image files keep their original paths with an added comment, and undefined custom commands are preserved with explanatory notes.
