Start from a format your venue already accepts
A template is a document that's already formatted the way a specific conference, journal, or committee requires — the margins, fonts, section order, and citation style are done. You pick one and start writing instead of fighting a page layout.
Step 1
Preview a format
Click any card to see what the layout actually looks like before you commit to it.
Step 2
Open it in Scripta
It becomes a new document, already structured — title page, sections, and bibliography in place.
Step 3
Just write
Replace the placeholder text with yours. The formatting is already correct for that venue.

Why finding the template is the easy part
The template only gets you to a blank page in the right format. The real friction shows up after: wrangling references, keeping formatting consistent across sections, and catching the small mistakes that cost you a desk rejection.
Formatting drift
Manual edits slowly break a template's margins and spacing.
Reference chaos
Citation keys and .bib entries fall out of sync across co-authors.
Late surprises
Compile errors surface the night before a deadline, not before.
