Hi @fnattino! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that the requirements for Inara render this change difficult to the point that's it's probably unfeasible.
Inara currently produces three outputs from the paper.md
, one of which we can ignore here. The other two are PDF and JATS XML. The latter is a standardized archiving format that should contain the same contents as the PDF. For unsupported packages, this means that new logic would have to be added to translate LaTeX input to JATS. It's certainly possible, but it requires time that's may have a bigger impact when spent on other issues.
This is why I'd suggest one of the two following alternatives:
Include the file the as code that was generated with the tree
utility:
src
├── test.sh
└── unicorn.txt
Generate a PDF "image" on a local computer and include it as a figure ![caption text](path/to/file.pdf)
. The standalone
LaTeX documentclass can often be very handy for that purpose.
@tarleb thank you very much for the quick reply and for the alternative solutions - I will likely implement the first one! Thanks!
Hi there! I am writing a manuscript for JOSS (draft here), for which I would like to use a package that is not part of the latex installation within the Inara image (the
dirtree
package).Is there a way to include additional latex packages before generating PDFs via the Inara container? If not, would you consider to include
dirtree
in the list of packages that are installed withtlmgr
in the image?
