Podcast Conversation
- Speaker A: Welcome back! Today, we’re looking at a crucial first step in scholarly publishing, automated LaTeX cleanup.
- Speaker B: Yes, this is where the author’s manuscript is prepared and standardised before it enters production. The process starts by compiling the file and checking it against the author’s PDF to spot any discrepancies.
- Speaker A: Then, a custom cleanup script does the heavy lifting, normalising layouts, adjusting fonts and spacing, applying consistent citation styles and removing redundant packages.
- Speaker B: It also catches common LaTeX errors automatically and integrates client-specific macros and templates which is especially useful for multilingual content or complex subjects like mathematics and computer science.
- Speaker A: The result? Clean, uniform and error-free manuscripts that save time and prevent production headaches later.
