SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates cross-references in Quarto and LaTeX documents, ensures terminology consistency, tracks acronyms, and flags prose quality issues to prevent broken references and inconsistent writing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-reference validation for figures, tables, equations, and sections across multi-file projects, including Quarto chunks and LaTeX environments.
  • Terminology and acronym quality checks to enforce consistent usage and first-use definitions.
  • Prose quality analysis to flag long sentences, hedging density, and common typographical or style issues in academic manuscripts.
  • Use Case: You have a large manuscript with many fig- and tbl- references spread across .qmd and .tex files; this tool detects broken references and highlights areas for editing.

Quick Start

Run the proof-checker against your Quarto or LaTeX project to generate a comprehensive cross-reference and style report.

How do I validate cross-references in a multi-file Quarto and LaTeX project?

Run a proof-checker against your .qmd and .tex files to validate cross-references. It detects missing labels and cross-file reference mismatches for figures, tables, and equations across multi-file projects using non-destructive checks.

What does cross-reference validation do for academic manuscripts?

Cross-reference validation for academic manuscripts ensures that labels referencing figures, tables, equations, and sections are correctly matched across .qmd and .tex files, preventing broken references and maintaining document integrity.

Can I check terminology and acronym consistency in Quarto documents?

Yes, you can check terminology and acronym consistency in Quarto documents. The proof-checker enforces consistent usage and verifies first-use definitions to maintain terminology quality in academic manuscripts.

How do I assess prose quality and flag long sentences in LaTeX articles?

Assess prose quality and flag long sentences in LaTeX articles by running a proof-checker that analyzes hedging density and style issues. It generates a report highlighting areas for editing.

Does cross-reference validation work with both Quarto chunks and LaTeX environments?

Yes, cross-reference validation works with both Quarto chunks and LaTeX environments. It applies non-destructive checks to multi-file projects and reports issues with severity levels including ERROR, WARNING, and SUGGESTION.

What are the limitations of using a proof-checker for academic writing workflows?

The limitations of using a proof-checker for academic writing workflows include its strict focus on Quarto and LaTeX patterns. It applies non-destructive checks, meaning it reports issues with severity levels but does not automatically rewrite or fix your manuscript prose.
