Of course Leo did this already...
Nate maintains .yml
databases for the member list on the website. I wanted to use those, so when he updates the databases the author list can be auto-updated.
@paulthebaker, well in that case we could probably modify part of Leo's code to read in .yml
format. We could even get tricksy and just have travis
make the tex file...
@jellis18, I committed the script I wrote and its output (which is styled for PRD). We should probably have a few functions for different journal styles.
I'll take a look at Leo's method later.
So I have been using a modified version of Leo Stein's code to do this kind of thing. You basically give it a pre-formatted text file of authors and affiliations and it makes an alphabetical author list. It would probably be good to keep using something like this here.
