About

This bot allows you to generate a LaTeX diff file by comparing two versions of a LaTeX document and receive a PDF with the highlighted changes using latexdiff.

Here's how you can use the bot:

1. Send /start to begin the interaction.
2. Upload the original LaTeX project by sending a single .tex file or an entire .zip.
3. If there is an ambiguity which file is the main document you will be promted to select one.
4. Upload the old version (.tex or .zip).
5. If there is an ambiguity which file is the main document you will be promted to select one.
6. The bot will generate a LaTeX diff file and process it.
7. Once the diff file is processed, the bot will send you a PDF with the changes highlighted.

TODO
