Create, ingest, and inspect documents.

Actions:

• create: Scaffold a new empty document. Optionally set class, title, author.

• ingest: Parse markdown text, .tex file, or .md file into the document model.

• outline: Show document structure (sections, block counts).

• read: Read content of a specific section as prose text.

• update: Update document metadata (title, author, date, abstract).

• reset: Clear the current document and saved state. Next create/ingest starts fresh.

• bib_add: Add a bibliography entry (provide BibTeX-format entry as source).

• bib_remove: Remove a bibliography entry by key (provide key as source).

• bib_list: List all bibliography entries.

• bib_style: Set bibliography style (provide style name as source, e.g. "authoryear", "numeric").

Configure document typesetting and layout.

Only provided parameters are changed; others are left as-is.

section_break: Page break before level-1 sections. "before" inserts \clearpage before each \section. Works in any column mode. Individual sections can override via edit(page_break="before").

Manipulate document content structurally.

Actions:

• insert: Add a new block at a position within a section.

• replace: Replace a block at a position with new content.

• delete: Remove a block at a position.

• move: Move a block from one location to another.

• read_raw: Read a RawLatex block with line numbers.

• replace_raw: Update a RawLatex block (full or line-level) with lint check.

Sections are addressed by title path (e.g., 'Methods/Data Collection'). Blocks within a section are addressed by 0-based index.

page_break: For sections — "before", "after", "both", or "" to clear. Emits \clearpage before/after the section.

Compile and export the document.

Actions:

• compile: Serialize model to .tex, compile to PDF. Returns PDF path.

• preview: Render a specific page as PNG file. Returns file path and dimensions.

• tex: Export the raw .tex source. Returns the LaTeX content.

Search LaTeX documentation, symbols, packages, and error solutions.

Actions:

• search: Search for LaTeX commands or general topics.

• symbol: Find symbols by description (e.g., "approximately equal").

• package: Get information about a LaTeX package.

• check_style: Analyze a .tex file for best practices.

• error_help: Get help for LaTeX error messages.

• example: Get working examples for a topic (table, equation, figure, list, code).

• templates: Browse available LaTeX templates. Optionally filter by category or slug.

• capabilities: Enumerate system LaTeX support (engines, tools, packages).

• styles: Browse document style presets. Optionally filter by slug or keyword.

Execute multiple operations in a single call.

Each operation is a dict with 'tool' (document, layout, edit, render, reference) plus the arguments for that tool. Operations run sequentially; disk is written once at the end.

Example: queue(operations=[ {"tool": "document", "action": "create", "title": "My Doc"}, {"tool": "edit", "action": "insert", "block_type": "section", "title": "Intro", "level": 1}, {"tool": "edit", "action": "insert", "content": "Hello world.", "section": "Intro"}, {"tool": "layout", "columns": 2, "font": "palatino"} ])

Args: operations: List of operation dicts. continue_on_error: If False (default), stop on first error.
