Use journal template

[MislavSag]

Description

I would like to use journal template for my article.

I have found following files on journal website

LaTeX_predložak_CREBSS_hrvatski.tex
crebsshr.cls
LaTeX_predložak_CREBSS_hrvatski.pdf
figure.jpg

It is in Croatian.

Is it possible to somehow easy integrade those tex and cls files in quarto document? Or I have toi create article tempalte which doesn't seem as easy task?

Whether or not you package it as an extension does not really matter as it's the same underlying process.
You need to use the templates/partials.
This is all described in the documentation: https://quarto.org/docs/journals/formats.html

I saw docs, but I didn;t knoe wher eto even start. I am trying for last two hours to imlement this but I am still strugling. I ave ran quarto create extension journal and followed all steps, but in the end I don't understand how my structure should look like. Wher the files should be saved. Deos tex file use cls file if they are inside extensions/<som_estension_name>? I have looked at journals github extensions, but they implement it in different ways. I also tried to found video on you tube, but didn't find anything usefull.

Can I just save those 2 files somewher in the project and import it?

I have used overleaf before, but would like to make it work in quarto if possible

This is a template for starter: https://github.com/quarto-journals/article-format-template

and the organization: https://github.com/quarto-journals/ contains examples.

You have more example at : https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/listing-journals.html

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Ideally, you should look at the journal template file and adapt it so that it is compatible with Pandoc and Quarto features.

Depending on how much support for the Quarto feature you need and how complex the journal's template is (how much the ask for), this could be simple or not that simple.

This is custom format development. Look at the documentation, but most of all, look at other examples, and you should find your way.
