LaTeX formatting statistics

How common are formatting problems in academic LaTeX papers? These figures are aggregated from real papers checked with LaTeX Formatter - updated continuously, with no per-paper or user data stored.

Methodology

Every figure on this page is computed from papers uploaded to LaTeX Formatter and analyzed by its deterministic rules engine. For each paper we record, in aggregate only, which issue types were present - never the content, filename, or author.

Percentages are reported as the share of analyzed papers containing at least one issue of a given type. We deliberately withhold percentages until the sample is large enough to be meaningful, and we do not estimate, extrapolate, or seed any numbers.

What we measure

  • Figure overflow - images wider than the column
  • Table overflow - tables wider than the column or page
  • Risky float placement - [h]/[H] specifiers that break layout
  • Equation overflow and deprecated math environments
