Paper writing: from outline to submission

Markdown body + KaTeX + Mermaid + agent polish + Pandoc to PDF.

Kition Team·Jun 16, 2026·7 min read

Recommended flow

  • `Papers/<slug>/outline.md` for the outline
  • Sections as separate `.md`, assembled by Pandoc
  • Diagrams in Mermaid / formulas in KaTeX, rendered on export
  • Citations in `references.bib`; the agent checks consistency

What the agent must not touch

Contribution statement, acknowledgments, author description — 100% your work and review.

Math formulas and Mermaid diagrams

KaTeX renders `$$...$$`; Mermaid renders fenced `mermaid` blocks — enough for papers and RFCs.
