Creating Journal Specific Templates integrated in officedown about officedown HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry, I am busy actually and not able to focus on that but I'd like to work or help on this later.

Hello I have continued to work on this and was curious if it may be possible to create Styles using code from officer.

My current workflow involves downloading the template for the journal and modifying it. All templates from Journals will have slightly different names under "Styles" in Word (e.g., "Affiliations" might be "Author Affiliations") which makes things hard to track and leads to several different versions of template.

If I was able to customize or create Styles it would allow for a reproducible way to maintain templates across journals. You can get a list of styles by reading in a document using In the example below I am following a template for the journal of Neurophotonics which calls for the following styles being applied

I know I can create the styles using the following with officer (examples shown for Title, Author Names and Affiliations)
Neurophotonics.docx

title_fp_text(
  color = "black",
  font.size = 16,
  bold = TRUE,
  italic = FALSE,
  underlined = FALSE,
  font.family = "Times New Roman",
  cs.family = NULL,
  eastasia.family = NULL,
  hansi.family = NULL,
  vertical.align = "baseline",
  shading.color = "transparent"
)

authornames_fp_text(
  color = "black",
  font.size = 12,
  bold = TRUE,
  italic = FALSE,
  underlined = FALSE,
  font.family = "Times New Roman",
  cs.family = NULL,
  eastasia.family = NULL,
  hansi.family = NULL,
  vertical.align = "baseline",
  shading.color = "transparent"
)

affiliations_fp_text(
  color = "black",
  font.size = 10,
  bold = FALSE,
  italic = FALSE,
  underlined = FALSE,
  font.family = "Times New Roman",
  cs.family = NULL,
  eastasia.family = NULL,
  hansi.family = NULL,
  vertical.align = "baseline",
  shading.color = "transparent"
)

At the moment, I am unable to create superscript or linebreaks within f_text but I think its a step in the right direction rather than having a bunch of templates.

If you point me in the right direction I can start compiling a list of templates. I think it would be a huge help to scholars. Below is the RMarkdown file I used to test, as well as an image of the output

Sorry, the issue is too old and it's unlikely that I'll be working on new features. Quarto is probably a good candidate for this kind of need.
