The Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Science used to have a very specific article template that they required for submissions to the annual meeting. These standards have been relaxed substantially in the last few years, but a few things are still unique. I previously worked to create a LaTeX template that somehow got official blessing.

I have no idea how many people will use this template, but I know that I will. So I'm going to start working on it this weekend. I plan to start from elsarticle and do a few things:

• Make a title page with authors in rows
• Make an abstract page
• fix fonts

Alternatively, I might be able to just use the elsarticle template directly if I can figure out how to create a new page after the abstract.

By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that

• I have fully read the issue guide at https://yihui.name/issue/.
• I have provided the necessary information about my issue.
  • If I'm asking a question, I have already asked it on Stack Overflow or RStudio Community, waited for at least 24 hours, and included a link to my question there.
  • If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included xfun::session_info('rticles'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version: remotes::install_github('rstudio/rticles').
  • If I have posted the same issue elsewhere, I have also mentioned it in this issue.
• I have learned the Github Markdown syntax, and formatted my issue correctly.

I understand that my issue may be closed if I don't fulfill my promises.
