About this repository

This repository contains the latest official GitHub hosted versions of the LaTeX template for compiling issues of Variants, the journal of the European Society for Textual Scholarship. For more information on how to use this template, please visit our wiki.

Alongside this template, we also offer a specific, smaller template that authors can use to prepare their contributions for inclusion in the journal's issues. That template, called 'varianTeX for Authors' is also available as a GitHub repository, and as an Overleaf Template.

About this release

Apart from a small correction in our README.MD, this release is identical to v3.0.0. The main reason for publishing this release is because the link between this repository and the Zenodo archive was broken after the repository was moved from WoutDLN's repositories to the ESTS-Variants organisation. As a result, v3.0.0 (which was released before this link was fixed) was never archived in Zenodo. This release aims to remedy that issue.

Version 3.0.0 was released after the publication of Variants 17-18, and includes major changes that were made to the template in preparation of that issue. The most significant changes include:

  • Instead of including several modular 'preamble' files in the main.tex, the packages, environments, and settings used for styling the document are now bundled as a package with a .sty extension, and included in the main.tex with the /usepackage{variants} command.
  • Our method for including bibliographies no longer uses natbib and a custom .bst file, because maintaining the .bst file was too much work and kept introducing new errors. Instead, we moved from BibTeX to BibLaTeX. This is easier to maintain, and also includes more detailed ways of describing sources. IMPORTANT! BibLaTeX has specific compiler requirements, so you will probably need to change compilers to get this to work. We use LuaLaTeX to compile our projects.
  • The template now also includes packages and a .tex file for designing a cover for your issue.
