Frequently Asked Questions
Can I compile projects with images and bibliography files?
Yes. Upload a ZIP project that includes main.tex and related assets such as images or .bib files.
What is the difference between XeLaTeX and pdfLaTeX here?
XeLaTeX is generally better for modern fonts and multilingual text. pdfLaTeX is a classic option for many standard LaTeX documents.
How do I debug failed compilation?
Open Build Log and check the first real error line (for example missing file, package, or syntax error). Fix that first, then compile again.
