Pandoc Template for Elsevier Journals

This is a LaTex template for Pandoc markdown to generate pdf and tex files using the elsarticle LaTex article class for submission to Elsevier journals.

Use the Makefile provided along with the template to generate pdf or tex files (using make pdf or make tex. make clean removes all generated files).

Various options for the template can be specified using a YAML metadata block. These options are listed below:

els-options: Options to be passed to the elsarticle class. See the elsarticle documentation for details.
title: Title of the paper.
author: Author(s) of the paper. There are two ways to specify the authors -
- Each author can have name, email and address.
- Authors belonging to the same group/department can have a group name instead of address.
author-group: If authors of the same group have a group mentioned in the author option, then this option has to be spcified. The author-group has group name and address sub-options.
abstract: Abstract of the paper.
keywords: Keywords for the paper.
bibliography: Bibliography file (same behaviour as in the default Pandoc LaTeX template).
biblio-style: Bibliography style option for natbib or biblatex packages.
csl: Citation Style Language for pandoc-citeproc filter.

A sample markdown file called paper1.md has been provided as an example for how to use the options.

Extra packages that you need to add, new command definitions, and other LaTeX specific things can be specified in the custom-header.sty file.

This template does not cover all the features of the elsarticle class. More features can be added upon request.
