Description

I can imagine a script which would read data from an "rticles format" file and would output the data formatted with one of the journals formatting templates.

  • Is there any use case in the real world that would justify this functionality?
  • Is there some problem I'm overlooking that would prevent this from being done?
  • Would it be worth building this out?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying the existing journal templates and their input structures, then establish whether a shared rticles format and portability requirements can be defined. Done would require an agreed use case, format, and validation path.
