A short walkthrough from an Obsidian vault to a LaTeX file — four steps in the Obsitex wizard: Source, Vault, Manuscript, Download.

Before you start

<aside> 🧱

No vault yet? Let it be built for you. The Obsitex plugin for Claude Code scaffolds one with /obsitex:obsitex-init: the folders, the note order, and the document setup file, ready to convert. Its sibling /obsitex:obsitex-assistant then stays with you while you write and answers how to phrase something so the converter handles it. Both are on The Claude Code plugin.

Step 1 — Source

Where your vault is: a local folder or OneDrive. Local needs no account at all. OneDrive needs the Microsoft connection, which you set up right here — see Data protection & permissions.

Step 2 — Vault

The folder that contains .obsidian, marked ● in the list. Details: Project folder & manuscript.

Step 3 — Manuscript

The folder inside the vault that becomes your document. The order of its notes comes from Document order.

Once it is chosen, one sentence and one button appear. There is nothing to configure: every run loads your notes and converts them. Click Start Conversion.

Step 4 — Download

On Download & Export, pick where your files go: Open in Overleaf, Upload to GitHub (the PDF is built via GitHub Actions), Upload to OneDrive, or Download to Browser. See Export & compile.

Shortcut: Quick Convert

If you have set a default folder in Settings, the Quick Convert button skips the wizard and converts that folder in one click.
