The whole journey inside the app, in three stages: load from your vault, convert to LaTeX, create your document.

</aside>

1. Load from your vault

You pick your project folder and, inside it, the manuscript. Obsitex reads the manuscript's Markdown files in document order and keeps a temporary copy in your browser.

• A local folder needs no account.
• A folder on OneDrive requires signing in with Microsoft so Obsitex can read it.

2. Convert to LaTeX

Obsitex turns your headings, lists, tables, images, citations and everything else into one LaTeX document. With the default (native) engine this happens entirely in your browser — your notes are never sent to a server.

The temporary files were captured the moment you loaded them, so they stay fixed even if you keep editing in Obsidian. You can re-run the conversion any time without reloading.

3. Create your document

Once converted, you send the files where you want them — Overleaf, GitHub (PDF built automatically), OneDrive, or a browser download. See Export & compile.

Where things are set

• The step-by-step run is the wizard — see Your first document.
• App-wide options (project folder source, engine, export target) live in Settings.
• How your document looks (design, packages) is the Document setup.
