latex-skeletons

These templates are the ready-to-use LaTeX sources to compile Language Science Press publications. They can be obtained as packed .zip files from our website or the gh-pages branch.

The templates in this GitHub repository work with TeX Live 2020 and up to date CTAN sources.

Which files should I use?

This depends on your role:

How do I compile the sources?

There are some recipes in the Makefile. For most purposes, it suffices to compile main.tex with XeLaTeX, then compiling the bibliography with biber (run on file main), and compiling main.tex with XeLaTeX again so that the bibliography and ToC appear.

Where do I enter my meta data?

Here is an overview. These settings are for skeleton and editedskeleton only. The meta data for paper are inserted directly in main.tex.
