Collaborative Editing of LaTeX Documents over the Web

SpartanTeX provides a web service that compiles LaTeX source code written in Google docs and returns the resulting PDF document. Together with the Google docs editor, SpartanTeX is a collaboration friendly LaTeX authoring environment.

To use SpartanTeX you need a Google account, which you can obtain for free at https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount. Use your username and password to log into SpartanTeX after clicking the button below. If you are using Google Apps for Education or a similar service where you login on a custom page, you should log in there first and then click the button below. UNCG users log in on docs.uncg.edu first.

The button will direct you to a Google login page. Google will ask you again whether you trust SpartanTeX. If you do, Google supplies SpartanTeX with a token that allow it to download documents for compilation.

News

April 2012 As Google has recently changed its document list API, it is not possible to compile recently created Google documents with SpartanTeX. Copies of older documents can still be compiled, so this can be used as a workaround. We will update SpartanTeX in May to reflect the changes made by Google.
