Custom LaTeX templates

The templates are written in jinja2.

Just copy from e.g. texmark/templates/science/template.tex to your own, e.g. custom_template.tex, and run again with:

texmark example.md --pdf -j science -o build/example-science.pdf --tex build/example-science.tex --template custom_template.tex

The -j journal template option (here science) is still used to set custom filters (e.g. only \cite for Science, no \citet; extract specific sections as metadata to be injected as {{section}} instead of {{body}}, etc.). The machinery is defined in the texmark/filters/ package and can in principle be extended or copied.

Two approaches are possible:

• Just add more filters via the --filters command or in the yaml metadata.
• Extend the filter registry in a module, e.g. custom_filter.py, that registers a chain in the filters dict from the texmark.shared module — either a plain list of filters, or a zero-argument callable returning one. The built-in journal chains are defined in the JOURNALS table in texmark/journals.py; use texmark.journals.get_filter_chain(name) or journal_chain(config) to compose with them. Then pass it via --filters-module custom_filter (or custom_filter in the metadata) to prompt the texmark filter to load that module and make it available via -j your-custom-name. Note that will require you to explicitly pass --template as well — unless you overwrite an existing filter.
