Create project in app

Usage

You can use this template in the Typst web app by clicking Start from template on the dashboard and searching for pioneering-rlj. Alternatively, you can use the CLI to kick this project off using the command

typst init @preview/pioneering-rlj

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

Configuration

This template exports the rlj main styling rule with the following named arguments.

  • title: The paper’s title as content.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • accepted: If this is set to false then anonymized ready for submission document is produced; accepted: true produces camera-redy version. If the argument is set to none then preprint version is produced (can be uploaded to arXiv).
  • summary: Extended abstract for the cover page.
  • contributions: List of contributions for the cover page.
  • supplementary: Auxiliary content which was not necessarily subject to peer review.

The template will initialize your package with a sample call to the rlj 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/pioneering-rlj:0.6.0": rlj

  bibliography: bibliography("main.bib"),

)

Issues

  1. Vertical space between “Abstract” and abstract is 10pt - 1.5ex but some stretching and shrinking are possible.
  2. Figures, specifically @fig:example, allows a lot of stretching and shrinking of space above and below figure. Typst can not do such transformations at the moment. Thus we manually shrink spaces around the first example figure in order to preset pixel perfect template.
  3. Reference RLC/RLJ template mark comment with \dagger but this templates stick to built-in numberings which starts with asterisk.
  4. Line numbering starts from abstract in the reference paper. In this template we enumerate all lines from the beginning of the paper including cover page.
