Execution
Execute this Markdown-to-LaTeX conversion workflow:
Step 1: Analyze the Markdown source
Read the source Markdown file and extract:
- Document title and metadata
- Section hierarchy (map
# levels to LaTeX chapters/sections)
- Tables, lists, code blocks, callout blocks, and blockquotes
- Priorities or status indicators for color-coded markers
- Numerical data suitable for visualization
Step 2: Generate the LaTeX document
Create a .tex file adjacent to the source. Use the document preamble, color definitions, custom environments, and conversion rules from REFERENCE.md.
Apply the Markdown-to-LaTeX conversion rules:
