Description

Currently, I don't think all the templates use the same Pandoc variable name for a same purposed variable.

Example:

  • acs template
title:
  - short: short title
  - formatted: full title

whereas common pandoc is to use

title: full title
shorttitle: short title

This thread is to compile the used one and decide which to keep

List of common variables that can be uses in a template

  • title: Title of the article
  • shorttitle: A short title for the article
    • runtitle: used in some format as title in \runtitle but this is quite the same
  • author: Field for author informations (see also #324 for author specific uniformisation)
  • keywords: Keyword
  • shortauthors

Research direction

Review the ACS template and the other templates to inventory the YAML and Pandoc variable names currently in use, including title, shorttitle, runtitle, author, keywords, and shortauthors. The work is done when the project has agreed on canonical names and the templates' variables are documented consistently.
