rticles 0.25

BREAKING CHANGES

• ajs_article() and jss_article() require Pandoc 2.7+ (possibly required by some changes in jss.cls).

• rjournal_article() is now soft deprecated in favor of rjtools::rjournal_pdf_article() as rjtools package is now the recommended workflow at https://rjournal.github.io/submissions.html. A warning will be thrown when rticles' function is used.

• springer_article() has been updated to new LaTeX templates and CTAN package (thanks, @eliocamp, #494). we really advice to start new article from scratch by creating new document using lates RMakrdown template. Among changes:

  • New .tex templates derived from https://www.springernature.com using sn-jnl.cls
  • In the format function, natbib is now the default citation processing package used (previous it was pandoc citeproc) and number_sections is TRUE by default now. Set to FALSE for unnumbered headers.
  • In the YAML header options, biblio-style is now ignored as references styling happens with document class option, so using classoptions is now required. PACS and MSC is also ignored in favor of pacs.jel and pacs.msc.
  • The whole authors and affiliation fields has been rewritten - please see template for new format.
  • Pandoc 2.11.4 and above is now required for this format.

• ieee_article() now supports several affiliations per authors when using the wide: true mode (thanks, @phamdn, #500).

• Add a helper function string_to_table() for documentating configuration from a list copy pasted from a .tex template.
