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

Or use the web version at rejoinderoo.andreasbauer.org.
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.

To bypass this warning, you can open the Terminal and run the following command:
sh
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./rejoinderoo
or you can adjust the security settings in the System Preferences:
