FAQ

  • Does this support math formulas from HTML?
    Plain text equations will come through as text. For rich math, it’s best if your HTML already contains LaTeX or MathJax-style markup that you can refine after conversion.
  • Will the LaTeX compile without errors?
    The tool generates valid LaTeX for typical HTML structures, but you should always compile and make manual adjustments for journal‑specific classes or custom packages.
  • Can I use a different document class?
    Yes. If you disable “Include document class”, you can paste the generated content into your own LaTeX template (e.g. IEEEtran, acmart, thesis class).
  • What about CSS styling?
    CSS is not converted directly. Instead, the converter focuses on semantic mapping (headings, lists, tables) to equivalent LaTeX commands that you can style via LaTeX packages.
