Journal templates¶

Pick the template that matches your target journal and add it to the yaml header of your markdown:

journal:
    template: ametsoc          # template name, see table below
    options: twocol            # optional, per-template — see the docs page

Article-class templates (single PDF, any journal):

template	covers	example	docs
`copernicus` (aliases `cp`, `esd`, ...)	Copernicus / EGU: ACP, BG, CP, ESD, HESS, NHESS, TC, ...	PDF	docs
`science`	AAAS Science, Science Advances	PDF	docs
`ametsoc` (aliases `jclim`, `jas`, `mwr`, `bams`, ...)	AMS: J. Climate, JAS, MWR, BAMS, ...	PDF	docs
`arxiv` (alias `preprint`)	arXiv preprint, generic article-class	PDF	docs
`elsarticle` (alias `elsevier`)	Elsevier: QSR, EPSL, GPC, Earth-Science Reviews, Cell, Lancet, ...	PDF	docs
`agujournal` (aliases `agu`, `jgr`, `grl`, `james`, `wrr`, ...)	AGU: JGR family, GRL, Earth's Future, JAMES, ...	PDF	docs
`springernature` (aliases `nature`, `naturecomms`, `natclimchange`, `natgeoscience`, `scirep`)	Springer Nature: Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Climate Change, Nature Geoscience, Scientific Reports, ...	PDF	docs
`pnas`	PNAS	PDF	docs

Book-family templates (theses, monographs, multi-chapter documents):

template	document class	structure	docs
`book`	`\documentclass{book}`	`\frontmatter` / `\mainmatter` / `\backmatter`	docs
`report`	`\documentclass{report}`	No front/main/back matter macros	docs
`memoir`	`\documentclass{memoir}`	`\frontmatter` / `\mainmatter` / `\backmatter`; configurable chapter styles	docs
`classicthesis`	`\documentclass{scrreprt}` + bundled `classicthesis.sty`	Bringhurst-inspired typography; no front/main/back matter macros	docs

Presentation templates (Beamer slide decks):

template	aliases	covers	docs
`beamer`	`slides`, `presentation`	Lecture slides, conference presentations, seminar talks	docs

Book-family templates support \include{...} for chapters (enabling --only for selective recompilation), front-matter YAML keys (dedication:, list_of_figures:, etc.), and bibliography_per_chapter: true for per-chapter biblatex bibliographies.

Each template ships a default journal.options value chosen to produce a publication-style PDF (typeset 2-column journal look, no draft watermarks). For peer-review submission you usually want to switch to the publisher's submission options (e.g. preprint,12pt for Elsevier, draft for AGU, the empty default for AMS 1.5-spacing). The per-journal docs page lists the alternatives.

Partial support only

Before submitting, you will likely need to hand-edit the final LaTeX — appendix structure, special sections (Methods Online, Extended Data, Significance, …) and journal-specific cross-reference macros are not all wired up automatically. Use the example PDF to confirm the layout looks reasonable, then run texmark --tex out.tex and finish the manuscript in LaTeX directly.

See the YAML reference for the common front-matter fields shared by all templates.
