The switch won't be decided by the writing, it'll be decided by the one page you can't reproduce. Anyone submitting to a journal or a university has a template they didn't choose, so if Doxy gets 95% of the way and then can't do the numbered equations or the bibliography style, they write in Doxy and finish in LaTeX, which is worse than never switching. I'd name the document types you can fully produce today and say nothing about the rest. Shorter page, much easier decision.

@asadmalik901 That’s a fair point. If something can’t be reproduced in Markdown, you can use HTML for it. We’re also adding extension support, so Doxy will be extensible for more specialized templates and document requirements.
The goal is to make those extensions accessible too: the AI will be able to help create them, so you won’t need deep technical knowledge just to support a specific format or requirement.
@ilies_mraihi HTML gets you the render, but a journal checks the output against their style sheet, and a near miss there costs you a desk reject weeks later. An AI generated extension is the risky version of that, it'll produce something that looks right and be wrong in the citation numbering. If you ship extensions, ship a diff against the reference template so people can see what didn't match. That's the part I'd trust.

Omg, finally! I've been wishing for an easier way to edit LaTeX resumes for ages. Definitely giving this a try... Wondering if full LaTeX import/export is supported?
Doxy
@beebombshell Thanks! Full LaTeX import/export is planned for an upcoming feature, so you’ll be able to work with your existing LaTeX resumes more seamlessly. Stay tuned! 🚀

@ilies_mraihi Awesome, I'll keep an eye out! :)
