Will math equations render correctly?

Math expressions are converted to fenced math blocks (` ```math `) compatible with KaTeX renderers.

What about citations and bibliography?

`\cite{key}` references are preserved as `[cite:key]` placeholders — full bibliography conversion is lossy.

How does it compare to Pandoc?

Pandoc handles academic LaTeX with higher fidelity. Our tool is faster for simple documents; use Pandoc for full papers.

Can it convert TikZ diagrams?

No — TikZ is a graphical language that has no Markdown equivalent. Diagrams are stripped with a placeholder comment.

What document classes are supported?

Article, report, and book classes. Custom document classes may produce unexpected output.

Will my custom commands be preserved?

Custom \newcommand macros are expanded if simple, otherwise preserved as LaTeX comments.

How LaTeX-to-Markdown conversion works

Paste LaTeX — Paste your LaTeX source into the input field.

Convert — Click Convert — sections, lists, inline formatting, and math expressions are mapped to Markdown.

Copy — Copy the Markdown or download as `.md`.

LaTeX edge cases we handle

Math stays native

Inline `$…$` and block `$$…$$` expressions are preserved verbatim — compatible with GitHub, KaTeX, MathJax, and most Markdown renderers.

Citations as placeholders

`\cite{key}` references become `[cite:key]` — full bibliography conversion is out of scope; use Pandoc for academic papers.

TikZ out of scope

TikZ diagrams have no Markdown equivalent and pass through as literal text. Render separately and embed as images.

Tables simplified or skipped

`\begin{tabular}` environments are not parsed — use Pandoc for high-fidelity LaTeX-to-Markdown table conversion.
