Compatibility with overleaf #29

Closed jsbryaniv closed 2 years ago

jsbryaniv commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to integrate jabbrv into overleaf? If so, then there should be a description of how to do this in the code documentation. If not, then I think there should be a statement to this affect in the FAQ.

I have never used overleaf, but from a quick search it sounds like you can include the jabbrv files in the folder with your .tex file and it will allow you to use the jabbrv package ( see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/414780/how-to-add-a-package-in-overleaf?noredirect=1&lq=1 ).

Which jabbrv files will I need to include specifically? I can place them right next to the main.tex file?

compholio commented 2 years ago

You will definitely need jabbrv.sty + jabbrv-ltwa-all.ldf + the dictionary for the language you use (probably jabbrv-ltwa-en.ldf) + the biblatex style sheet you want (one of the .bst files). If you want to just do a quick test then you may wish to use latex-example.tex as a starting point (and include jabbrv_unsrt.bst and example.bib to go along with it).

This worked! Is it ok if I publish this as a template on Overleaf so that other people can see a minimally working example?

compholio commented 2 years ago

Absolutely, if you want to add instructions to the README.md and make a pull request I would happily include that as well.

jsbryaniv commented 2 years ago

Apologies, I am not very familiar with how to do push/pull requests (which is why I am using Overleaf!). I can, however, give a link to my minimal working overleaf example if this helps: https://www.overleaf.com/read/drzdrzrgrrrp

Is there an example for how to use jabbrv in a revtex document class? I tried uploading the same files into another project and the journal names remain unabbreviated

compholio commented 2 years ago

Assuming you're using the apsrev4-1 style, you should be able to just replace that with jabbrv_apsrev4-1 (\bibliographystyle{jabbrv_apsrev4-1}). I don't personally use REVTeX, but if you're having trouble then I can try to help you if you post an example.

jsbryaniv commented 2 years ago

Yes that works thanks!

jsbryaniv commented 2 years ago

By the way, the template was published at a more permanent address here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/automatic-journal-abbreviations/mxfsdscmvxcr I think this would be good to add to the FAQ or readme

Done, glad this was so easy to get going for you!
