LaTeX Formatter

This specialized text processor parses LaTeX source code to apply structural indentation, transforming flat or messy TeX files into hierarchically organized documents. The algorithm identifies standard environment delimiters (\begin{...} and \end{...}), bracket groups, and command blocks, inserting configurable whitespace (spaces or tabs) to visually represent the document structure.

Unlike generic code formatters, this tool handles LaTeX-specific valid syntax that often confuses standard parsers, such as line-breaking commands (\\), math mode delimiters ($...$ or \[...\]), and optional arguments ([...]). It focuses purely on "beautification"—adjusting whitespace for readability—without altering the semantics or content of the document. This is particularly useful for researchers collaborating on papers, students debugging complex tables or equations in Overleaf, or anyone inheriting a disorganized TeX project.

The formatting runs entirely in the user's browser, ensuring that sensitive research data, unpublished manuscripts, or private thesis work remains secure and is never uploaded to external servers. It allows users to quickly clean up code before submission or collaboration, reducing merge conflicts and improving maintainability.
