SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create professional, well-structured documents in LaTeX instead of relying on inconsistent formatting or manual layout fixes, so you can produce clean academic and formal outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • LaTeX document setup and structure: Covers document classes (articles, books, reports, beamer, IEEE/ACM-style, etc.) and provides a minimum working example for reliable starts.
  • Professional preamble composition: Shows organized configuration for encoding/fonts, page geometry, language, math tooling, graphics, tables, hyperlinks, bibliography (BibTeX/BibLaTeX), theorem environments, and custom commands.
  • End-to-end publishing workflow guidance: Includes common compilation passes, latexmk recommendations, plus CI/CD patterns for reproducible LaTeX builds and artifact generation.
  • Use Case: Draft an IEEE conference paper with sections, figures, tables, cross-references, and a bibliography, then compile it locally and in GitHub Actions to ensure the same PDF builds reliably every time.

Quick Start

Use the typesetting-latex skill to generate a complete LaTeX preamble and skeleton document for an IEEE-style paper, including cross-referencing, figures, tables, and BibLaTeX-compatible bibliography wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions about typesetting-latex

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a publication-ready LaTeX document with proper preamble organization?▼

This Skill provides organized preamble templates and formatting patterns for structured scholarly writing, configuring document classes, fonts, page geometry, math tooling, and bibliography packages to produce clean, professional LaTeX outputs reliably.

What is the best way to set up an IEEE conference paper in LaTeX?▼

The best way to set up an IEEE conference paper in LaTeX is using a structured skeleton document with appropriate document class selection, cross-referencing, figures, tables, and BibLaTeX-compatible bibliography wiring. This provides a reliable start with a minimum working example for immediate drafting.

How do I configure BibLaTeX and cross-references for reliable LaTeX compilation passes?▼

Configuring BibLaTeX and cross-references requires proper preamble setup for bibliography packages and referencing commands, followed by multiple compilation passes to resolve links. This Skill provides the necessary formatting patterns and bibliography configuration to automate this reliably across builds.

Can I automate LaTeX document preparation using latexmk and CI/CD pipelines?▼

Yes, you can automate LaTeX document preparation using latexmk and CI/CD-friendly build steps like GitHub Actions. This Skill includes recommendations for reproducible LaTeX builds, handling common compilation passes automatically to ensure the same PDF artifact generates reliably every time.

Does this LaTeX typesetting workflow support Beamer presentations and book document classes?▼

Yes, this LaTeX typesetting workflow supports Beamer presentations, books, reports, and IEEE/ACM-style articles. It provides document class selection, preamble composition, and formatting patterns for equations, theorems, tables, and figures required across these diverse formal output formats.

Why do my LaTeX tables and equations break during document compilation?▼

LaTeX tables and equations often break during compilation due to missing math tooling packages or incorrect environment configuration in the preamble. This Skill provides organized package configuration for math environments and tables to prevent formatting errors and ensure reliable builds.
