Convert Markdown to LaTeX source via Pandoc.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# md-to-latex
Convert Markdown to LaTeX source via Pandoc.
## When to Use
- Academic papers, theses, and journal submissions
- Documents needing fine-grained typesetting control
- Pipelines that further process `.tex` (BibTeX, custom preamble, journal classes)
## What's Here
`md-to-latex.cjs` — Node script that wraps Pandoc and emits standalone `.tex`.
## External Dependencies
- `node` (≥ 16)
- `pandoc` (≥ 3.0) on PATH
- TeX distribution (TeX Live, MiKTeX) only if you compile the output
## Usage
```bash
node md-to-latex.cjs paper.md
node md-to-latex.cjs paper.md --output paper.tex
node md-to-latex.cjs paper.md --bibliography refs.bib --csl ieee.csl
node md-to-latex.cjs paper.md --template custom-template.tex
```
## Frontmatter Hooks
```yaml
---
title: Paper Title
author: Your Name
documentclass: article
classoption: 11pt
bibliography: refs.bib
csl: ieee.csl
---
```
## Notes
- Output is standalone — compiles directly with `pdflatex`/`lualatex`
- Citations in Pandoc syntax (`[@key]`) become `\cite{key}`
- For journal-specific formatting, supply `--template`Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/md-to-latex@sha256:8b16ea1803cddd87The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.6d4ccd2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
