KERNIT Documentation
Formatter Legacy and Export Formats
Formatter and export features remain supported as secondary documentation. The lead KERNIT product is the Hyperlinker, but DOCX, LaTeX, HTML, and journal preset exports still exist.
Where Export Fits#
Export is for producing manuscript layouts from structured KERNIT content. Hyperlinker is for adding citation, DOI, figure, table, equation, section, appendix, and bibliography links to an existing DOCX. Many teams use both, but they solve different steps in the manuscript workflow.
Format Decision#
| Need | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Editable manuscript for reviewers | DOCX Export | Best when collaborators need Word comments, tracked changes, or final manual edits. |
| Journal template or TeX submission | LaTeX Export | Best when the downstream journal expects source files or TeX-native math. |
| Browser preview or lightweight sharing | HTML Export | Best for internal review, QA, and content inspection before DOCX or LaTeX output. |
| Existing Word manuscript that only needs links | Hyperlinker | Skip formatter export and run the reviewable hyperlink workflow directly. |
Recommended Combined Workflow#
- Use formatter export only when KERNIT is creating the manuscript layout.
- Open the exported DOCX and confirm tables, equations, headings, and references survived the export.
- Run Hyperlinker scan on the final DOCX.
- Review risky rows, resolve DOI evidence where useful, then apply links.
