MINOR CHANGES

v0.25

11 months ago

BREAKING CHANGES

  • ajs_article() and jss_article() require Pandoc 2.7+ (possibly required by some changes in jss.cls).

  • rjournal_article() is now soft deprecated in favor of rjtools::rjournal_pdf_article() as rjtools package is now the recommended workflow at https://rjournal.github.io/submissions.html. A warning will be thrown when rticles' function is used.

  • springer_article() has been updated to new LaTeX templates and CTAN package (thanks, @eliocamp, #494). we really advice to start new article from scratch by creating new document using lates RMakrdown template. Among changes:

    • New .tex templates derived from https://www.springernature.com using sn-jnl.cls
    • In the format function, natbib is now the default citation processing package used (previous it was pandoc citeproc) and number_sections is TRUE by default now. Set to FALSE for unnumbered headers.
    • In the YAML header options, biblio-style is now ignored as references styling happens with document class option, so using classoptions is now required. PACS and MSC is also ignored in favor of pacs.jel and pacs.msc.
    • The whole authors and affiliation fields has been rewritten - please see template for new format.
    • Pandoc 2.11.4 and above is now required for this format.

NEW FEATURES

  • ieee_article() now supports several affiliations per authors when using the wide: true mode (thanks, @phamdn, #500).

  • Update RJournal.sty to latest version to support number sections (thanks, @zeileis, #517).

  • Update to the asa_article() format (thanks, @ianmtaylor1 #506, @jepusto, #507):

    • Better support for links in template to be closer to guidelines.

1 year ago

NEW FEATURES

  • New lncs_article() template for submissions to Lecture Notes in Computer Science (thanks, @eliocamp, #445).

BUG FIXES

  • Remove \usepackage{utf8x} usage by default in plos_article() TeX template as it conflicts with recent latex2e. As it is in the official PLS journal template, it is not removed completely but opt-out by default. Use with_utf8x pandoc variable in YAML to opt-in again if you want to deal with the conflict differently (thanks, @Sciurus365, #496).

  • Update glossa_article() and path template to opt-out using microtype to prevent issues. Add it back using extra_dependencies in YAML with adding a preamble if needed (thanks, @stefanocoretta, #487).

  • In elsevier_article(), corresponding author is correctly marked with a * even if no other footnote are set on the author.

  • ams_article() bundles ametsoc.cls now as ametsoc package is not more available on CTAN.

v0.23

2 years ago

This is a breaking change in the format that now requires at least Pandoc 2.10 and uses the latest version of the .cls file, also provided in elsarticle on CTAN. See the included template for this format. Also, natbib is now used y default for citation processing. You can use renv to manage your project in locked environment of packages (thanks, @robjhyndman, #467).

  • New iop_article() template for submissions to IOP journals (thanks, @robjhyndman, #462).

v0.22

2 years ago

BREAKING CHANGE

  • oup_article() template has been updated to include the possibility of using the latest OUP authoring template now available on CTAN. It is still possible to use old .cls file as some journals still depend on it. oup_version will now control if the old version (oup_version = 0) or the new version is to be used (oup_version = 1). For this version, oup_version = 0 is the default. See ?rticles::oup_article() for links to resources. The bundled Rmd template has also evolved. Use oup_v0 or oup_v1 as template name - Easiest way to create the template still remains using the RStudio IDE. oup_version = 1 comes with a requirement of Pandoc 2.10 minimum. (thanks, @dmkaplan2000, #431)

NEW FEATURES

  • New trb_article() for annual meeting submissions to the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting (thanks, @gregmacfarlane, #427).

  • Update Copernicus Publications template to version 6.4 from 2021-08-16 (thanks, @RLumSK, #446).

  • glossa_article() is incompatible with microtype CTAN package for now. When TinyTeX is used, it will be uninstalled before rendering.

  • All template were updated to include parts required by some Pandoc feature when they are used: highlighting, CSL & citation processing, include before, after and in header, Pandoc's markdown tables. Checks are now included in CI test so that new template missing these parts are detected.

  • Fixed an issue with microtype CTAN package in amq_article() by patching the template until upstream issue if fixed.

  • Add copyrightyear and pubyear variable in bioinformatics_article() (thanks, @stephenturner, #424).

v0.21

2 years ago

NEW FEATURES

  • New jedm_article() for the Journal of Educational Data Mining template (thanks, @jooyoungseo, #251).

  • New ajs_article() for Austrian Journal of Statistics (thanks, @matthias-da, #437).

  • New glossa_article() for articles of Glossa: a journal of general linguistics (thanks, @stefanocoretta, #361).

MAJOR CHANGES

  • Since rticles 0.15, per requirement with R Journal, rjournal_article() uses knitr::purl() to produce a R file with the code from the Rmd file. Last version eagerly overwrites any existing R file with the same name as the purled file. From now on, if a .R already exists with the name of the output, it won't be overwritten anymore, and not purled file will be outputted. This prevent issue with users maintaining themselves their own R file to accompany the article. A warning is issued to remind of deleting the existing R file is one want to use the purled R file (thanks, @Enchufa2, #433).

  • Update Copernicus Publications template to version 6.3 from 2021-07-08 (thanks, @RLumSK, #432).

  • Template for tf_article() gains a classoption variable (thanks, @statzhero, #434).

  • Add the fenced div with id #refs in frontiers_article() skeleton to place the reference section in the correct expected place (thanks, @graysonwhite, #423).

  • bioinformatics_article() now separates manuscript_type (e.g., Applications note, Original article) and subject_section (e.g. Genome analysis, Phylogenetics) in template and skeleton (thanks, @stephenturner, #415)

  • For contributors to this package: Markdown syntax is now used with roxygen2 to document R functions. Refer to formating rules on roxygen2 website

BUG FIXES

  • bioinformatics_article() has no more trailing comma after last author (thanks, @stephenturner, #413).

  • Fix an issue with elsevier_article() and table produced by RStudio Visual Editor. The template gains some packages for allowing grid table in Markdown (thanks, @ccamara, #421)

v0.20

2 years ago
  • lipics_article() skeleton now sets option bookdown.theorem.preamble to FALSE to work with bookdown::pdf_book() and avoid conflicst in theorem environment definition. This requires bookdown 0.23 or higher (#392).

  • oup_article() template now largely compatible to that of elsevier_article() (thanks, @dmkaplan2000, #403)

  • elsevier_article() now supports biblio-style Pandoc's variable to set the natbib bibliography style in YAML header (thanks, @gregmacfarlane, #402).

  • Fix an issue with rjournal_article(). The .R file in output is now correctly overwritten on a new render if it existed from a previous render (thanks, @apreshill, #394).

  • Update Copernicus Publications template to comply with editor's guidelines following a manuscript bounce back during the typesetting step. Copernicus does not allow to add any \usepackage command as they all are included in copernicus.cls for supported LaTeX packages. This is leading to breaking changes with existing template - please follow the advice below.

    • algorithms: true cannot be used anymore and as no more effect. \usepackage{algorithmic} and \usepackage{algorithm} has been removed from the template as the command are already done in copernicus.cls. Please, make sure algorithms and algorithmcx are installed.
    • Additionally, the template gained support for the highlight parameter of rmarkdown::pdf_document to enable or disable syntax highlighting with Pandoc. To comply with the above guideline by Copernicus, it is disabled by default (highlight: NULL) to prevent Pandoc adding any more packages required for its highlighting. Syntax highlighting can be reactivating by using highlight: "default" in the YAML header as this can be desirable before submitting for typesetting. (thanks, @RLumSK, @nuest, #391).
  • Fix issue with Pandoc's citation processing by updating all templates with last relevant changes from Pandoc's default template (thanks, @BlackEdder, @dahrens, #390)

  • remove warning in joss_article() about citation_package (thanks, @llrs, #389).

  • fix an issue with rjournal_article() template to insert newline in author's block only if a field exist (thanks, @huizezhang-sherry, #387)
