It seems that the test PDF is failing to generate. I looked at a few examples from other JOSS pre-reviews to see if I could track down a solution. I think it has to do with a stray character or figure that is being interpreted incorrectly. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I suspect it is somewhere in my paper.bib file. I tried removing the abstracts from the paper.bib file to see if I could resolve the error in a new branch joss_review.

@ccurtis7 - I'm trying to debug this myself. The issue seems to be with the YAML header. I'm wondering if there are some hidden characters in there or something...

Thanks @arfon, I couldn't narrow down where the error was.

@ccurtis7 - the issue is with the underscore in the title. Please change:

title: 'diff_classifier: Parallelization of multi-particle tracking videos'

to 

title: 'diff\_classifier: Parallelization of multi-particle tracking videos'

Also, I should try and sanitize this kind of input as it's passed to Pandoc. This isn't the first time it's caught us out...

I'm not sure why it's still not working after I changed the YAML file. I'm unfamiliar with Latek, but I tried checking a complete list of symbols that need to be written as math. Is the colon throwing it as well?

@ccurtis7 - I'm wondering if the new command @whedon generate pdf from branch... is being weird. I can compile your changes on the joss_paper branch locally OK.

Perhaps merge what you have in the joss_paper branch into master and just try @whedon generate pdf?

Sorry for the both here. I've only recently added the ability for Whedon to compile papers from a different branch and it's quite possibly a little buggy...

Hi @ccurtis7! Do you have any suggestions for potential reviewers?

Hi @cMadan, looking over the list of reviewers, I think sealhuang or oesteban would be good fits.

@sealhuang @oesteban, would you be available and interested to review this submission?

I'm on vacation now, and I expect to be pretty swamped for a while when I'm
back. Sorry I have to let this one go.
