Quickstart

See example.md for a sample markdown file with yaml metadata in the header.

The command to convert the markdown to tex is:

texmark example.md

And to convert to PDF:

texmark example.md --pdf

For another journal, it is enough to change the journal -> template field in the yaml metadata. For testing it is also possible to pass -j for --journal-template:

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

See the example tex and pdf results in build/.

Where to go next

• Pick a journal template for your target journal.
• YAML reference — every front-matter field, in one place.
• Build backends and engines — latexmk, tectonic, pdflatex/xelatex/lualatex.
• Live preview — rebuild on save with --watch.
