Overview

This is a Typst template for Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR). It is based on official author guide, formatting instructions, and formatting error checklist as well as the official example paper.

Usage

You can use this template in the Typst web app by clicking Start from template on the dashboard and searching for classic-jmlr.

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

typst init @preview/classic-jmlr

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

Configuration

This template exports the jmlr function with the following named arguments.

  • title: The paper’s title as content.
  • short-title: Paper short title (for page header).
  • authors: An array of author dictionaries. Each of the author dictionaries must have a name key and can have the keys department, organization, location, and email.
  • last-names: List of authors last names (for page header).
  • keywords: Publication keywords (used in PDF metadata).
  • date: Creation date (used in PDF metadata).
  • abstract: The content of a brief summary of the paper or none. Appears at the top under the title.
  • bibliography: The result of a call to the bibliography function or none. The function also accepts a single, positional argument for the body of the paper.
  • appendix: Content to append after bibliography section.
  • pubdata: Dictionary with auxiliary information about publication. It contains editor name(s), paper id, volume, and submission/review/publishing dates.

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

#import "@preview/classic-jmlr": jmlr

Issues

This template is developed at daskol/typst-templates repo. Please report all issues there.

  • Original JMLR example paper is not not representative. It does not demonstrate appearance of figures, images, tables, lists, etc.

  • Leading in author affilations in in the original template is varying.

  • There is no bibliography CSL-style. The closest one is bristol-university-press.

  • Another issue is related to Typst’s inablity to produce colored annotation. In order to mitigte the issue, we add a script which modifies annotations and make them colored.
