⭐ Starlight Tools / Research Abstract Formatter

How It Works:

This tool performs string manipulations entirely within your web browser. When you type or paste content into the input field, it applies the selected formatting options (like bolding IMRC headings, cleaning whitespace, and converting to different output formats) instantly. Your text is never sent to a server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

LaTeX Symbol Conversion:

For LaTeX output, the tool automatically escapes common special characters to prevent compilation errors (e.g., `&` becomes `\&`). Additionally, it converts some frequently used Unicode symbols to their LaTeX command equivalents:

• `±` → `\pm`
• `°` → `^\circ`
• `α` → `\alpha`
• `β` → `\beta`
• `γ` → `\gamma`
• `μ` → `\mu`
• `Ω` → `\Omega`
• `∑` → `\sum`
• `€` → `\euro` (requires `\usepackage{eurosym}` in your LaTeX preamble)
• `—` (em dash) → `---`

For more complex mathematical expressions or less common symbols, you will still need to manually input the correct LaTeX commands.
