LaTeX style file

[sepideh-esk]

When I inspect the PDFs of JOSS I see that they are created by "LuaHBTeX, Version 1.15.0 (TeX Live 2022)".

Do have the (La)TeX style file for directly compiling the PDF from a LaTeX source using TeX Live 2022? This would help for arXiv submission also.

It's pandoc driving lualatex. You can see the invocation here. https://github.com/openjournals/inara/blob/main/Makefile#L28-L42
https://github.com/openjournals/inara/blob/main/data/defaults/pdf.yaml

If you make a target for the raw latex, we'd welcome a PR.

You can select preprint as output when running Inara using the flag -o preprint and it will generate a LaTeX file suitable to send to preprint archives.

I can make it if no one's started yet ✌

Oh good call @xuanxu ! Here's what I did when running inara with the docker image:

sudo docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/data \
            -u $(id -u):$(id -g) --entrypoint="" openjournals/inara \
            sh -c 'inara paper.md -o preprint && pdflatex paper.preprint.tex'

So the entrypoint is reset, and then, as @xuanxu said, the preprint option makes the paper.preprint.tex file. Right after that, we're using pdflatex to create the pdf inside the docker environment.

I tried building it on the host machine as well, but it complained about not finding authblk.sty and orcidlink.sty files. However, these can be installed pretty easily using: tlmgr install preprint orcidlink. So now I can get the preprint, tinker it and build it on the host machine quickly 🤓

Now the output pdf has the following properties:

Creator: LaTeX via pandoc
Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.24

I hope this helps @sepideh-esk 🤞

Thanks @xuanxu and @pedramardakani. I was also able to generate the LaTeX source and now I can continue writing the manuscript and I hope to submit it as soon as possible.
