ComfyTex works with a pre-configured library of templates covering leading AI, machine learning, computer vision, NLP, and robotics venues. Select a template from the library when you create a job — no manual \documentclass configuration needed on your part.

Beta scope: Supported templates are currently focused on AI, computing, and robotics conferences and journals. See Supported Templates for the full list. Coverage will expand in future releases.

Math — $...$ (inline) and $...$ (display math) are converted to native LaTeX. Unicode math symbols inside equations (α, β, Σ, ∇, etc.) are supported. Do not use \(...\) or \[...\] delimiters — they will not be recognised.

Figures — Both ![[...]] (Obsidian-style) and ![alt](path) (standard Markdown) are supported. Each image is placed in a \begin{figure} float environment with its caption.

Tables — Standard Markdown pipe tables are converted to LaTeX tabular environments. Merged or multi-column cells are not yet supported.

ComfyTex segments long documents internally and reassembles the result into a single coherent .tex file. Section hierarchy, heading continuity, and figure/table order are all preserved across segment boundaries.

There is no enforced page or word-count limit. Very large documents (roughly above 60,000 words) may take noticeably longer to process.

Provide a BibTeX .bib file alongside your Markdown. ComfyTex places it in the output package and inserts the appropriate \bibliography{...} command in the generated .tex.

Scope and limitations: ComfyTex carries citation keys through verbatim. It does not rewrite citation calls, normalise key formats, or verify the academic accuracy of your references. If a citation key in your Markdown text has no matching entry in the .bib file, the output will compile with an undefined reference warning — consistent with standard LaTeX behaviour. Verifying that your citations are correct and complete remains your responsibility.

When writing your Markdown, use a consistent author-year format for all in-text citations (e.g. Smith et al., 2023). ComfyTex automatically pairs each citation with the corresponding entry in your Reference and converts it to the citation command required by the target template — for example \cite{smith2023} for IEEE-style templates or \citep{smith2023} for author-year templates such as ICML.

This means you do not need to use template-specific citation commands in your Markdown source. A single, human-readable author-year notation is sufficient for all supported templates.

Requirement: A Reference section must be provided in the Markdown file. Citation matching relies on the entries in that section; keys with no corresponding .bib entry or mismatched entries will be recorded by a citation_notes.md file in the output for the user to debug.

The web interface accepts your Markdown file, a LaTeX template, and optionally a .bib file. After you click Start, the job runs on the server. When finished, a .zip containing the .tex source, your template files, and all referenced assets is ready to download.

No local LaTeX installation is required on your machine. Final PDF compilation is performed on your side using your preferred distribution or an online editor such as Overleaf.

Every job you submit is tied to your account and visible in the dashboard. You can monitor real-time processing stage updates, inspect per-stage logs for diagnostics, re-download output packages for completed jobs, and delete jobs you no longer need. Jobs are retained indefinitely until you remove them.
