AI-generated documentation often contains more than prose: headings, fenced code, tables, LaTeX equations and Mermaid diagrams. Moving that structure into a document is a separate task from generating the answer.
TODOC offers a web editor and browser extension for this handoff. The public site lists Word, PDF and Excel export, while the extension also lists Markdown and support for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. This article presents a practical review workflow based on those advertised capabilities, checked on October 17, 2026.
1. Start with a small, structured source
Before exporting a long specification, prepare a representative sample. Include the structures your actual documentation needs:
- A clear document title and two heading levels.
- A short code block with its language specified.
- A table with explicit column names and units.
- One equation or Mermaid diagram, if relevant.
For example, a deployment note could contain a service overview, a dependency list, a configuration table and a sequence diagram. Use illustrative values rather than production credentials.
2. Choose the handoff format
Use Word when reviewers need to edit the narrative or add comments. TODOC describes carrying headings, styles, tables and images into DOCX.
Use PDF for a fixed-layout handoff, such as a reviewed architecture note or training handout. Inspect page breaks and wide tables at the intended reading size.
Use Excel when the useful output is a structured table: test cases, task lists or a comparison matrix. Exporting a table does not validate its data, infer the right units or prove that its calculations are correct.
Use Markdown, listed for the extension, when the document belongs in a repository or text-based knowledge workflow. Review code and links as you would any other generated contribution.
3. Understand diagram and math handling
The website describes Mermaid diagrams being embedded as images in Word and PDF. That is useful for portability, but an image in a document is different from editable diagram source. Keep the original Mermaid text alongside the exported file if future changes matter.
TODOC also advertises LaTeX math support in Word and PDF. Include representative expressions in your trial export: subscripts, fractions and matrices may exercise different parts of a math workflow. Check the output against the intended notation rather than relying only on the source looking correct.
4. Review in the editor, then review the file
The web workflow is straightforward: paste an AI response or Markdown, refine it in the live editor and export. The extension offers an alternative directly on supported AI chat pages; current installation details are on the extension page.
Before downloading, remove conversational filler, repair heading hierarchy and verify references. After downloading, check the actual deliverable:
- Are code indentation and symbols readable?
- Do tables retain the correct row-to-column relationships?
- Are diagrams legible and equations accurate?
- Does the document make sense without the original chat?
5. Keep export quality separate from factual quality
A clean document can still contain a fabricated API option or an outdated instruction. Verify commands, dependencies and technical claims using the relevant primary documentation. Treat export as a formatting and handoff step, not as technical validation.
The site's current free-entry offer includes one export without signup and two daily exports after signing in. Check current limits before a large batch.
