LaTeX in Author
Author aims to help the creation of LaTeX papers by automating part of the process, a process we are continually improving. We have based Author’s workflow on Overleaf but this approach should work with any LaTeX system.
Please feel free to email suggestions to frode@hegland.com and I’ll see what I can do. LaTeX is pretty complicated and each field have their own implementations so we cannot customise too much for one field since it will interfere with others.
For background and general overview please visit Wikipedia’s LaTeX Page.
