Abstract

mktex converts Microsoft Word (.docx) documents to complete LaTeX (.tex) documents with table of contents support. The command creates a full LaTeX document structure including preamble, packages, and proper document formatting. It is optimized for both Chinese and English documents, with automatic language detection and appropriate package selection. The generated LaTeX document includes a table of contents that is properly linked in the PDF output. For Chinese documents, the command automatically includes the ctex package and sets appropriate fonts.
