This is a Typst template for a one-column paper from the proceedings of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The paper is tightly spaced, fits a lot of content and comes preconfigured for numeric citations from BibLaTeX or Hayagriva files.

Usage

You can use this template in the Typst web app by clicking “Start from template” on the dashboard and searching for bamdone-aiaa.

Alternatively, you can use the CLI to kick this project off using the command

typst init @preview/bamdone-aiaa

Typst will create a new directory with all the files needed to get you started.

Configuration

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

  • title: The paper’s title as content.
  • authors-and-affiliations: An array of author dictionaries and affiliation dictionaries. Author dictionaries must have a name key and can have the keys job, department, aiaa is optional. Affiliation dictionaries must have the keys institution,city,state,zip, and country.
  • abstract: The content of a brief summary of the paper or none. Appears at the top of the first column in boldface. Shall be content.
  • paper-size: Defaults to us-letter. Specify a paper size string to change the page format.
  • bibliography: The result of a call to the bibliography function or none. Specifying this will configure numeric, AIAA-style citations.

The function also accepts a single, positional argument for the body of the paper.

The template will initialize your package with a sample call to the aiaa function in a show rule. If you want to change an existing project to use this template, you can add a show rule like this at the top of your file:

#import "@preview/bamdone-aiaa:0.1.2": aiaa

#show: aiaa.with(
  title: [A typesetting system to untangle the scientific writing process],

    These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for AIAA Technical Papers. Use this document as a template if you are using Typst. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. Define all symbols used in the abstract. Do not cite references in the abstract. The footnote on the first page should list the Job Title and AIAA Member Grade for each author, if known. Authors do not have to be AIAA members.
