Regarding LaTeX

LaTeX apa7 class inspiration: This template draws heavily from the apa7 class in LaTeX (which itself builds on the apa6 class). The journal and document formats are not included due to styling and formatting variations. While technically possible to port these formats from LaTeX, they serve limited use cases beyond academic submission, as most APA-compliant journals implement their own specific styling requirements.
