Welcome to the Joyner Document Format official LaTeX class. This class was written and tested using a default MacTeX installation, so it should work out of the box as long as you’re running an up-to-date LaTeX distribution.

Quick start

You can clone this repo and try typesetting jdf-starter.tex with the following commands:

biber jdf-starter
pdflatex jdf-starter

The result should look like jdf-starter.pdf.

• biber command generates used referenes from references.bib
• pdflatex command generates the final pdf

Pandoc

Requirements

• Updated to work with pandoc 2.14.0.2 (other versions may work, no guarantees)
• A current LaTeX distribution with appropriate packages.
  • tabularx is required.

Using Pandoc

• A Makefile has been included to produce the document.

# To generate the report, execute the following command from the commandline:
make

• A customized apa.csl citation stylesheet has been included for enumerating the reference list.
• The jdf-template.pandoc has been updated to address new CSLReferences[2] syntax and add tabularx package.
• Table formatting has been broken, for anything other than simple tables, using LaTeX directly in the pandoc file is recommended.
• The example markdown file which can be edited is called project_report.md.
• The output file is a pdf called project_report.pdf.
• Working files are stored in out and can be ignored. They may be useful for troubleshooting.
• To remove publisher information from the reference list, change the --csl=apa-6th-edition-numbered.csl to --csl=apa.csl in the Makefile. APA 7th edition removed the publisher info (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/80984/changes-to-apa-style-in-7th-edition).
