I am using the MDPI template (from the rticles package), and keen to also use the glossaries packages so I don't have to manually feed all the abbreviation on the appropriate YAML field.
For such, I have loaded the LaTex package glossaries using the header-includes:
header-includes:
\usepackage{inputenc}
\usepackage[acronym, section=section]{glossaries}
\setacronymstyle{long-short}
\makeglossaries
\makeindex
\input{glossary}
after creating several acronyms within the Rmarkdown body, I would be willing to either input the latex commands and have it printed in within the "Abbreviations" section of the template.
Currently, I am able to hack it through the following steps (I am sure there is a better way):
1- keep all the aux files chunk with :
options(tinytex.clean = FALSE)
2- cmd makeglossaries "filename"
3- Raw Latex on Rmarkdown file:
\begin{abbreviations}
\setabbreviationstyle[acronym]{long-short}
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title={}]
\end{abbreviations}
However, I would be keen to know if I could insert something on the YAML and use the MDPI formatting. Alternatively, I could edit the rticles MDPI template (but I am not sure how).
Any ideas?
Cheers,
