What does the PLOS Computational Biology template load?
It uses the article class (options: 10pt, letterpaper), builds with pdfLaTeX, and loads 21 packages, including inputenc, fontenc, microtype, mathpazo, helvet, courier, xcolor and amsmath.
How does PLOS Computational Biology Template handle references?
It uses BibTeX. References live in a .bib file, and the build runs the bibliography step for you, so citations and the reference list update every time you compile.
How long is the PLOS Computational Biology Template sample?
The compiled sample is 4 pages, from 9 files: 7 .tex, 1 .bib, 1 image. Replace the sample text with yours and the layout stays.
Is the PLOS Computational Biology template free to use online?
Yes. "Open as Template" makes it your own LetX project: edit the LaTeX in the browser, invite collaborators to edit with you in real time, and download the compiled PDF. There is nothing to install.
