Table of contents in Google Docs
The generated DOCX table of contents can render incorrectly after opening in Google Docs.
In Microsoft Word, the table of contents works as expected.
Known limitations
ltx2doc supports a wide range of LaTeX project structures, references, and formatting patterns.
Some edge cases still require manual review. We keep this page updated as behavior changes.
In general, opening the generated DOCX in Microsoft Word gives the most accurate results (formulas, cross-references, and layout). Google Docs is still good, but fidelity can be lower.
Table column widths
Table column widths can be off in some projects, especially for dense or unusual table layouts.
The table data itself is preserved correctly, so manual width adjustment in Word is usually quick.
Book-style chapter layouts
Documents that rely heavily on chapter-based book structure (frontmatter/mainmatter transitions, chapter-open page behavior, and long cross-chapter flow) can still need manual layout review.
Core content and references are preserved, but pagination and chapter spacing may not match the PDF exactly.
