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 existing filters in a module, e.g. custom_filter.py, that extends the filters dict from the texmark.filters module (see the source code to check the details). 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.
