some of the code fragments in the JOSS paper are missing new line separators

[joethorley]

see

distribution(baseline_y) <- poisson(baseline_rates * 8) distribution(epil$y) <- poisson(post_treatment_rates * 2)

vs

subject_mean <- normal(0, 10)
subject_sd <- cauchy(0, 1, truncation = c(0, Inf))

Huh. I don't see this in the pdf. It seems to have a newline in the source and when I pandoc it locally.

Where are you seeing this issue?

[joethorley]

Sorry I explained it poorly - it only appears when you try and cut and paste the text into an R console

[goldingn]

Aah, yeah that makes sense.

I can replicate this with a local build of the pdf. The newline separators are there in the Rmd, md, and tex files, but when I copy-paste from the (local) pdf the line breaks disappear for some lines (I can't spot any obvious pattern for when they disappear). I think that's not unexpected for pdf - it's not really designed to be copy-pasted from.

However I can't replicate the issue with the JOSS pdf. All the newlines are for me when copy-pasting from that one. From (hastily) reading some stackoverflow messages and looking at the whedon build script, it seems like the JOSS latex template uses some options that solve this issue.

That's great - I'm happy
