vscode-inara

A VSCode extension for authors and editors of The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) and The Journal of Open Source Education (JOSE). This extension provides a number of custom commands for interacting with inara, the tool used to generating JOSS and JOSE publishing artifacts.

Requirements

Start by installing Pandoc. If it is discoverable on you system's PATH, you shouldn't need to do anything else, but you can also provide the path to a custom pandoc executable in the extension settings.

Features

This extension provides a number of new VSCode commands to help with authoring and editorial tasks for JOSS and JOSE. For example, when you have a VSCode workspace open within a JOSS/JOSE project, you can open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and execute the Inara: Build PDF command to build the PDF for your manuscript. Similar commands are available for all other output targets supported by inara.

This extension also provides a command for fixing a common issue with the bibliographies of submissions in the domain of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Since the TeX templates used by JOSS and JOSE don't support the journal macros commonly used in that domain, you can use the Inara: Fix astronomy journal references command to expand these macros in your .bib file.

Extension Settings

  • inara.pandoc: The path to a custom pandoc executable.
  • inara.journal: The journal identifier; must be joss or jose.
