stellar-revtex template

Typst template that emulates many REVTeX (APS) conventions.

• lib.typ: the template entrypoint (stellar-revtex + appendix).
• template/main.typ: minimal starter file.
• example/main.typ: longer scientific sample with figures, tables, bib, and glossaries.
• typst.toml: package metadata (@local/stellar-revtex:0.1.0).

typst c template/main.typ template.pdf
typst c example/main.typ example.pdf   # uses a few preview packages

1. Make sure the repo is available on Typst's local package path. On macOS:

mkdir -p "$HOME/Library/Application Support/typst/packages/local/stellar-revtex/0.1.0"
cp -R . "$HOME/Library/Application Support/typst/packages/local/stellar-revtex/0.1.0"

On Linux: ~/.local/share/typst/packages/local/stellar-revtex/0.1.0 (same layout on Windows under %LOCALAPPDATA%\typst\packages\local\stellar-revtex\0.1.0).

2. In your document (e.g. paper.typ) import and show the template:

#import "@local/stellar-revtex:0.1.0": stellar-revtex, appendix

#show: stellar-revtex.with(

More details.

• paper-size: "us-letter" (default) or "a4".
• layout: "preprint" (12 pt, 1-col header), "reprint" (APS 2-col), "twocolumn", "onecolumn".
• journal: "aps" or "aip" (bibliography style); aps-journal: "physrev" or "prl" (heading styling).
• font-size: 10pt, 11pt, or 12pt; defaults to 12pt for preprint/onecolumn, 10pt for reprint/twocolumn (REVTeX-like).
• affiliation-style: "auto" (skip superscripts if only one affiliation), "superscript", "plain".
• preprint-id: string or content placed top-right (REVTeX \preprint).
• abstract-title: none (default "Abstract"), false (hide), or custom content; bibliography-title analogous.
• funding, acknowledgment, date, authorNotes, pacs, keywords, show-pacs, show-keywords to mirror common REVTeX front-matter.
• Author fields: name (required), at/affiliation (string or tuple), optional note keys matching authorNotes, optional email, optional orcid (prints linked ORCID icon); aliases by for name and names (tuple) are accepted.
• show-appendix-heading: true shows a visible "Appendix" heading in the outline.
• Appendix helper: #appendix(title: [...], lbl: "app:id") auto letters appendices and resets equation numbering to (A1), (B1), ...

• REVTeX-style footinbib is not currently possible due to fundamental limitations in typst bibliographies.
• Wide equations (widetext) spanning both columns in a two-column layout are not possible with Typst's layout engine yet.
