Converting from Markdown
Markdown to LaTeX
If the user already has Markdown content, convert it:
  1. Heading: # Title → \chapter{Title}
  2. Bold: **text** → \textbf{text}
  3. Quote: > quote → \begin{quote}quote\end{quote}
  4. Code: ` code  → \texttt{code}`
  5. List: - item → \begin{itemize}\item item\end{itemize}
Watch out for
  • LaTeX special characters must be escaped: # $ % & _ { } ~ ^
  • CJK text requires XeLaTeX
  • Use relative paths for figures
Error handling
No template found
"No LaTeX template detected. Choose one:
1. Supply the template files (drop them into latex-templates/)
2. Use the default article class
3. Use the ctexart class (Chinese)
4. Stay with Markdown"
Incomplete template
"A template was detected, but [filename] is missing.
Please complete the template, or fall back to the defaults."
