% LaTeX pre-print and submission and production template for Sedimentologika %
% v1.1.2 - July 2026, Sedimentologika Steering Committee %
% ======================================================================================== %
% This template and corresponding class are provided as is. Sedimentologika takes no
% responsibility for your misuse of the provided files.
%
% It MUST be compiled using LuaLaTeX.
% TeXLive 2024 or higher, and Overleaf should work without issue.
% Tested on TeXLive 2024, 2025, 2026
% Note: free accounts on Overleaf may time out during compilation due to the use of
% unicode-math. We will switch to lua-unicode-math when it in future.
%
% There are comments throughout this tex file to assist you in generating your document.
%
% If you are unable to compile your document and are using LuaLaTeX, first consult
% the README.md file, then if you need further assistance
% contact us via admin@sedimentologika.org
%
% If you discover a reproducible bug, please document the steps to reproduce it and
% let the team know via admin@sedimentologika.org

% [preprint] to enable pre-print styling
%
% INSTRUCTION: If generating a pre-print, review the below statement and alter to
% your needs.
\preprintdeclaration{
This is a pre-print and has not yet undergone peer-review.
It has been submitted to \textit{Sedimentologika}.

% [submission] to enable submission styling suitable for Sedimentologika
%
% [submission, anonymous] to enable submission styling suitable for Sedimentologika
% The 'anonymous' option removes author names and attempts to strip metadata from the % generated PDF.
%
% IMPORTANT: It is the authors' responsibility to ensure that no identifying
% information remains in the file.
%
% Sedimentologika is NOT RESPONSIBLE for any failure by the authors' to maintain
% anonymity during file generation or submission.
% If anonymity is requested, we will uphold it throughout the review process.
%
% Note: Posting a pre-print is strongly encouraged. However, doing so may compromise
% anonymity, as the file becomes publicly accessible and searchable online.

% Document languages %
% ======================================================================================== %
% INSTRUCTION: Change the language in the curly braces to a valid English dialect from the

% ADVANCED USAGE FOR NON-ROMAN ALPHABET LANGUAGE SUPPORT IN TRANSLATION
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %
% The below commented out code is an example for enabling non-roman alphabet (e.g. Arabic)
% language support. You will need to have the appropriate Noto Sans font installed on your
% system. Contact admin@sedimentologika.org if you are unable to get this working.
% This is an advanced usage. On Overleaf, the below commented out code will enable appropriate fonts in Arabic, Japanese, Chinese (simplified), and Korean.
