papaja (Preparing APA Journal Articles) is an R package that provides document formats to produce complete APA manuscripts from RMarkdown-files (PDF and Word documents) and helper functions that facilitate reporting statistics, tables, and plots.
Building on the avialable resources in the R package papaja, I want to provide a corresponding Quarto journal template. Some pre- and postprocessing is currently done through R. These operations have to be reimplemented as Lua-filters. This will be a welcome improvement that will also benefit the R Markdown format in papaja. The following is currently done in R:
PDF
Preprocessor
[ ] Add filter to replace in-text ampersands after running citeproc
[ ] Set default CSL
[ ] Set various template variables and defaults
[ ] Add \keywords{}
[ ] Add wordcount
[ ] Add raw LaTeX includes
Postprocessor
[ ] Note is added to the end of the document by Lua filter and needs to be moved to the preamble (why? 😅 )
[ ] The pandoc default template places \abstract{} inside the document environment, but apa6/apa7
[ ] Omit empty \abstract{}`
[ ] Remove pandoc listof...s
[ ] Prevent (re-)loading of geometry package
[ ] Apply bookdown post-processors to support additional markdown features
Word
Preprocessor
[ ] Add filter to replace in-text ampersands after running citeproc
[ ] Create title page
[ ] Remove abstract to avoid redundancy introduced by pandoc
[ ] Add running head (if we can do this in Lua, it would also remove dependencies)
Currently, I think reimplementing the bookdown processors may not be the ideal solution. I currently think it may be best to keep them in papaja for the time being and look for alternative Lua filters for the Quarto template.
