Documentation

README

Excerpt

Typesetting · stage 11

Turn approved author artifacts into a reproducible PDF submission bundle. The job is not merely to make LaTeX compile: preserve provenance, select a coherent engine/backend, preflight dependencies, compile to convergence, locate the first root cause, run profile-driven desk-reject checks, and hand exact PDF/page facts to venue-matching.

Read typesetting-resource-map.md before running a real build. Read references/build_contract.md before writing or consuming machine artifacts. Use references/latex_errors.md only after the first source-located error is known. Use a venue template under templates/ only when it matches the current author kit; the bundled copy is a starting point, not current venue truth.
