quarto-ieee provide a IEEEtran template for journal format with your Quarto documents. quarto-ieee use the IEEEtran.cls document class that is used for most IEEE transaction articles. It supports both PDF and HTML output.

To create a new article using this format:

quarto use template dfolio/quarto-ieee

This will create a new directory with an example document that uses this format.

To add this format to an existing document:

quarto add dfolio/quarto-ieee

Then, add the format to your document options:

format:
  ieee-pdf: default

Most basic IEEEtran.cls command are supported. For these commands, there are some (few) limitations¹ for the HTML output. For PDF output, using the LaTeX command is often the solution.
Additionally, quarto-ieee template also supports the mhchem (for chemical equation) and physics (for flexible macros for typesetting equations) LaTeX packages and Mathjax(v3) extensions.

For the HTML output, quarto-ieee tries to mimic as closely as possible the layout seen on IEEEXplore^®.

Most Quarto's authors and affiliations scheme are supported. When provided, note is used as \thanks{} in PDF output (ignored in HTML output). Additionally, photo with bio allows generating a IEEEbiography, while a sole bio generates a IEEEbiographynophoto (this is used both in PDF and HTML outputs).
The following front matter entries are also supported:

• funding (see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/front-matter.html)
• citation (see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/create-citeable-articles.html)

Similarly, you can manage the page header from the front matter:

pageheader:
  left: Journal XXX, Month Year
  right: 'First Author et al.: Short title'

The source code for a minimal sample document is given in template.qmd. You have a preview of the rendering of this basic template at template.pdf or template.html.
Incomplete articles (i.e. more advanced examples) are available in the examples folder.

• If you are using Quarto, it is strongly recommended to use TexLive from the LaTeX distribution instead of the one provided by your Linux distribution. Otherwise, you may encounter a missing package problem.
• Several authors with same affiliation. In such case use note and tex-author-no-affiliation: true.
• For PDF output
  • quarto-ieee use a hack to handle the longtable issue with 2-column LaTeX documents². In some cases, a page overflow may occur.
• For HTML output
  • The default Quarto toc is used, so the display is not the same as on IEEEXplore^®.
  • Footnote are put at the end of document, while on IEEEXplore^® there are placed in the accordion.
  • Figures are not placed in the accordion.
  • IEEEXplore^® specifics (e.g. citation metrics, etc.)
  • The HTML output is a Quarto citeable article, so a citation appendix is automatically added to the article end.
