How to produce an article with the IEEEtran template in Quarto document
Author

Quarto allows to produce polished scholarly articles. It provides through the quarto-journal extension a basic collection of journal templates (Association of Computing Machinery, American Chemical Society, etc.). Quarto also provides a simple way to user to create their own Journal article format extension:

Terminal
$ quarto create extension journal
 ? Extension Name : aps

The interested reader may read the documentation on journal format of Quarto for further details.

However, up to now, there is no built-in template for the IEEE transactions or journals. Therefore, I started developing the quarto-ieee journal template extension to produce journal paper using the IEEEtran.cls LaTeX document class.

Creating a New Article

To create a new article using the quarto-ieee format:

Terminal
quarto use template dfolio/quarto-ieee
 ? Directory name: my-ieee-article

This will create a new directory my-ieee-article with an example document (my-ieee-article.qmd) that uses the quarto-ieee format.

Using with an Existing Document

To add the quarto-ieee format to an existing Quarto document:

Terminal
quarto add dfolio/quarto-ieee

Then, add the format to your document options:

format:
  ieee-pdf: default
Note

It is my hope that quarto-ieee will prove useful in the creation of your own IEEE article. Should this be the case, I would be grateful if you would share your feedback in the comments section below.
