elsearticle is a Typst template that aims to mimic the Elsevier article LaTeX class, a.k.a. elsarticle.cls, provided by Elsevier to format manuscript properly for submission to their journals.

This section provides the minimal amount of information to get started with the template. For more detailed information, see the manual.

To use the elsearticle template, you need to include the following line at the beginning of your typ file:

#import "@preview/elsearticle:1.1.0": *

After importing elsearticle, you have to initialize the template by a show rule with the #elsearticle() command. This function takes an optional argument to specify the title of the document.

• title: Title of the paper
• author: List of the authors of the paper
• abstract: Abstract of the paper
• journal: Name of the journal
• keywords: List of keywords of the paper
• format: Format of the paper. Possible values are preprint, review, 1p, 3p, 5p
• numcol: Number of columns of the paper. Possible values are 1 and 2
• line-numbering: Enable line numbering. Possible values are true and false

The elsearticle template provides additional features to help you format your document properly.

To activate the appendix environment, all you have to do is to place the following command in your document:

#show: appendix

// Appendix content here

Subfigures are not built-in features of Typst, but the elsearticle template provides a way to handle them. It is based on the subpar package that allows you to create subfigures and properly reference them.

  #subfigure(
    figure(image("image1.png"), caption: []), <figa>,
    figure(image("image2.png"), caption: []), <figb>,
    columns: (1fr, 1fr),
    caption: [(a) Left image and (b) Right image],
    label: <fig>
  )

The elsearticle template provides the #nonumeq() function to create unnmbered equations. The latter function can be used as follows:

#nonumeq[$
  y = f(x)
  $
]
