FormaTeX for Researchers

From first draft to arXiv submission — LaTeX tools built for academic workflows.

\section{Pain Points}

Why local LaTeX setups slow researchers down

TeX Live is 4 GB and breaks on updates

Maintaining a local TeX installation wastes research time. Updates break packages, fonts, and custom styles at the worst moments.

Collaboration is clunky

Emailing .tex files back and forth causes version conflicts. Merging changes from a supervisor and co-author at the same time is painful.

Automation is hard

Generating multiple paper variants, supplementary materials, and grant reports manually is repetitive work that should be scripted.

\section{Solutions}

How FormaTeX solves them

Browser editor

Write LaTeX anywhere — no local install, no 4 GB download, no broken packages after an OS update.

Real-time collaboration

Co-author with your supervisor in real-time. No more emailed .tex files or merge conflicts.

All engines

pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, and latexmk — run the exact engine your journal or arXiv submission requires.

BibLaTeX & Biber

Full reference management support. BibLaTeX with Biber backend handles complex citation styles out of the box.

REST API

Automate report generation and batch-compile document variants from Python, Go, or any HTTP client.

arXiv compatible

Submit-ready output with correct engine support. FormaTeX compiles to the exact format arXiv accepts.

\section{Use Cases}

Research use cases

Writing a PhD thesis

Multi-chapter documents with bibliographies require multiple compilation passes to resolve cross-references. latexmk handles this automatically — no manual re-runs.

Submitting to arXiv

arXiv accepts pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX. FormaTeX compiles your document to the exact format arXiv expects, reducing submission rejections.

Generating supplementary materials

Use the REST API to batch-compile multiple figures and tables from a single template. Automate what used to be a manual, error-prone process.

Lab report automation

Generate weekly lab reports via API. Feed experimental data from Python scripts directly into a LaTeX template and receive a PDF — no manual editing.
