  • If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included xfun::session_info('rticles'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version: remotes::install_github('rstudio/rticles').

Basically working. Some issues:

• The skeleton is quite bulky as I copied&pasted the original draft from nar-sample.tex.

• The bibliography is a bit strange without using natbib in pandoc(nar-sample.tex doesn't use natbib) but I can't get the non-natbib bibliography to work at the moment:

  • NAR.cls from https://github.com/dcjones/quip-paper/blob/master/NAR.cls
  • nar.bst from https://github.com/dcjones/quip-paper/blob/master/nar.bst Now the bibliography and style are consistent with the nar-sample.

• longtable(pandoc's default) doesn't work in this template because nar is 2-column, similar to #72. So I provided a table example using knitr::kable(format="latex")

• Figures are fine. and I figured out the fig.env="figure*" trick. for two-column figure.

• I noticed that the syntax for cross-reference from bookdown::pdf_document2() is different from the default rmarkdown::pdf_document()

hyperlinks likehttps://github.com/sokrypton/GREMLIN_CPP in rmd will be translated into\url{https://github.com/sokrypton/GREMLIN_CPP} and failed to compile investigating.

~~bibliography seems broken.I can use latexmk -pdf xxx.tex to generate the correct bibliography, but the knit button won't generate the desired bib.~~

[tcgriffith]

Seems that \usepackage{hyperref} is not included in the original nar.cls. This package is required for \url{} to which pandoc convert all links.

[tcgriffith]

List items will report an undefined control sequence error. add the following command seems to fix the issue. \def\tightlist{}

Strange behaviour on natbib:

if there's \label{xxx} in the rmd, the natbib bibliography will appear in the final pdf as expected.

deleting \label{xxx}, all references are gone and report undefined references:

Package natbib Warning: There were undefined citations.

But the generated test.tex can be correctly compiled with bibliography with latexmk -pdf test.tex

So the issue is narrowed down to how rmarkdown calls the latex engine AFTER the .tex file is generated.

MRE:

devtools::install_github("tcgriffith/rticles", ref="nar_dev")
rmarkdown::render("./test.Rmd")

test.Rmd, delete \label{aaa} will remove bibliography

This is still open. The first PR has been close because it needs a rework. It can be used as base for a new one. If anyone is willing to help @tcgriffith on this one, feel free to join ! Thanks.
