Rejoinderoo

Rejoinderoo creates a rejoinder (response to reviewers) based on a CSV or Excel file. The generated document is a LaTeX or Typst file that can be compiled to PDF. An example of a generated rejoinder document is shown in assets/example.pdf.

How to use

Prepare your review comments

Prepare your CSV or Excel file with the review comments. The first columns should contain an ID, the reviewer's comment, and the response to that comment.

See assets/small.xlsx or structure your spreadsheet like this:

| ID | Comment | Response | | ------ | --------------------- | ------------------------------- | | Rev1.1 | This is a comment. | We appreciate the feedback. | | Rev2.2 | Another comment here. | We will take this into account. |

Run Rejoinderoo

You can use Rejoinderoo in two ways:

As a command-line tool after you downloaded the binary from the releases page.

sh ./rejoinderoo

Development

This project uses a Makefile to manage all build and test tasks.

```sh

for help and overview of all tasks

make help

to install all dependencies

make deps

to build the program

make build

to run the compiled program

./rejoinderoo

to run the web server

./server ```

Containerized server

You can also build and run the web server in a Docker container.

```sh

build the Docker image

make build-docker

run the Docker container

docker compose up ```

Color coding of responses

The response boxes are color-coded based on the ID field, which is the first selected field. To determine different reviewers, the prefix of the ID field value is used until the first delimiter (., -, or :). E.g., Rev1.3 becomes Rev1 and R1:3 becomes R1.

In the next step, a custom LaTeX (or other template) color is created for each reviewer that can be adjusted.

\colorlet{colorRev1}{blue!15!white}

macOS

If you are using macOS, you will encounter an security warning when running the binary.
