Access LaTeX Source Code of arXiv Papers with open-in-overleaf Chrome Extension
open-in-overleaf is a free Chrome extension developed by amitness that enhances the functionality of the arXiv website. This browser extension adds an "Open in Overleaf" button to the research papers on arxiv.org, allowing users to easily access the LaTeX source code of the research papers and edit them directly on Overleaf.
The extension simplifies the process of accessing and editing LaTeX source code by providing a seamless integration between arXiv and Overleaf. When a user clicks the "Open in Overleaf" button, the extension sends the latex tar file from arxiv.org to an API, which converts it into a zip file. The zip file is then sent to Overleaf, and the user is redirected to the Overleaf edit page.
With open-in-overleaf, researchers and LaTeX enthusiasts can conveniently edit and collaborate on arXiv papers using the powerful features and tools offered by Overleaf. This extension streamlines the workflow and eliminates the need for manual file downloads and uploads, saving users valuable time and effort.
