(unofficial) IFAC Conference Template for Typst

IFAC stands for International Federation of Automatic Control. This repository is meant to be a port of the existing author tools for conference papers (e.g., for LaTeX, see ifacconf_latex.zip) for Typst.

Usage

Running the following command will create a new directory with all the files that are needed:

typst init @preview/abiding-ifacconf

Configuration

This template exports the ifacconf function with the following named arguments:

  • authors: (default: ()) array of authors. For each author you can specify a name, email (optional), and affiliation. The affiliation must be an integer corresponding to an entry in the 1-indexed affiliations list (or 0 for no affiliation).
  • affiliations: (default: ()) array of affiliations. For each affiliation you can specify a department, organization, and address. Everything is optional (i.e., an affiliation can be an empty array).
  • abstract: (default: none) the paper’s abstract. Can be omitted if you don’t have one.
  • keywords: (default: ()) array of keywords to display after the abstract
  • sponsor: (default: none) acknowledgment of sponsor or financial support (appears as a footnote on the first page)

Dependencies

  • typst 0.11.0
  • ctheorems 1.1.0 (a Typst package for handling theorem-like environments)

Notes, features, etc.

  • the call to #show: ifacconf-rules is necessary for some show rules defined in template.typ to get activated
  • ifac-conference.csl is a lightly modified version of apa.csl and is included in order to change the citation format from, e.g., (Able 1956) to Able (1956) in order to match ifacconf_latex
  • Tables have formatting rules that get activated inside calls to figure with kind: "table"; a convenience function tablefig is provided which sets this automatically
  • all theorem-like environments that were available in ifacconf_latex are defined in template.typ; simply call, for example, #theorem[Content...] ... #proof[Proof...]
  • the LaTeX version does not include a QED symbol at the end of proofs, however one is included here (this is easy to change)
  • Typst did not seem to like BibTeX citation keys containing colons (which was how they came from ifacconf_latex)
  • alignment for linebreaks in long equations is somewhat manual (e.g., for equation (2) in ifacconf.typ) but probably there is a better way to handle this now or in the future
  • the files refs.bib (essentially) and bifurcation.jpg come from ifacconf_latex
  • the file ifacconf.typ is modeled directly after ifacconf.tex by Juan a. de la Puente
  • the citep function renders citations like (Keohane, 1958) instead of the default style of Keohane (1958)
