Thanks very much for kindly reviewing this PR, @cderv!

I need your advice on my next step.

While waiting for its review, I was working on a separate package jladown to add some more capabilities (e.g., bookdown-based multiple formats, etc.).

I've almost forgotten this PR until your kind comment (it's been here for a while haha).

Do you want me to close this PR as I have a separate package devoted to this journal? Or, do you think it is still worth including its basic template here anyhow?

I would say it is up to you if you want the template to be included into rticles which is already on CRAN. We provide only pdf format at the moment I think. I see you worked on the Word template too ?

For bookdown feature, you can use any rticles format in bookdown::pdf_book by providing the format into base_format argument.

@yihui what are your thoughts on this ?

@cderv My thoughts are the same as yours.

Thanks very much for both of your thoughtful comments! I think it would be great to include this template under rticles anyhow. I will then be able to work on more features on top of this base later on. I will address your (@cderv) feedback soon. :)

Hello @jooyoungseo,

I have updated this PR by merging master branch to add the changes we've made since this PR was started. You can now continue this on proper basis.

Are you still planning to finish it ?

Thanks!

@cderv Sorry for not being able to get it done sooner. I don't think I can make it until next year. I will find more spare time to cross the finish line.

Hello @jooyoungseo

Just getting back to you on this for a status update. Is this PR still a project you would like to finish ?

Thank you
