Working title: Portable docs pipelines
Abstract
We describe a lightweight Markdown → PDF workflow used by three engineering orgs.
Introduction
Reformatting AI and docs-as-code output into Word remains a hidden tax on teams.
Related work
Prior work on docs-as-code emphasises websites; less attention is paid to file handoffs.

Markdown Research Paper for circulation — not a substitute for camera-ready LaTeX.
Why Markdown Research Paper?
Co-authors need a PDF long before the venue template matters. Draft the paper in Markdown — abstract, sections, placeholder figures — and export an Academic PDF for comments without opening a full TeX project.
Abstract-first structure
Keep IMRaD headings consistent from the first draft.
Graduate to LaTeX later
Move into the journal template only when content is stable.

Frequently asked questions
Will journals accept this PDF? +
Unlikely for final submission. Use it for drafts; follow the venue’s template for camera-ready files.
Is there a watermark? +
Yes — free PDF and DOCX downloads include a watermark, whether you are a guest or signed in. Create a free account to save documents in /workspace, then unlock unlimited access to download without a watermark.
