As per request, I wanted to address the subject of JATS-XML to LaTeX transformations today. The post might be interesting for you still even if you’re not particularly interested in said transformation since it will address more general requirements for transformations as well. What is JATS-XML and why would we transform from and into it? First things first: What is JATS-XML? It is an XML standard called the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS). Journal Article Tag Suite … is an application of NISO Z39.96-2019, which defines a set of XML elements and attributes for tagging journal articles and describes three article models. The content on this site is the supporting documentation for the standard. JATS is a continuation of the NLM Archiving and Interchange DTD work begun in 2002 by NCBI. (source & JATS documentation) It has the <article> element, and in that, you get <front>, <body>, and <back>. Learn more about it and see examples in the links.
Accidental Editor Series
This series provides tutorials and informative posts about book editing for those who are ‘accidental editors’, need to learn on the job and probably don’t really know where to turn to in order to acquire those dearly needed skills. The series wants to provide easily accessible information and focuses on the pragmatic aspects relevant to ‘accidental editors’ rather than fundamental editing wisdom. Also, please not that I am only an ‘ accidental editor’ myself and don’t have any formal qualifications regarding editing. If you know something better (which is easily possible!) please let me know and I will correct the errors, etc.
