This repository contains templates to allow you to use Google Docs to edit research papers. For more information on how this works, see How to Use Google Docs To Write a Research Paper

To make modifications to the paper, open the paper in Google Docs. You can create copies of one of the provided templates.

• ACM submission
• ACM camera-ready

When you're compiling for a draft, you may have missing figures or other problems that prevent error free compilation. You can instruct LaTeX and make to keep going whenever it encounters an error with the following command:

make clean && make MODE='"batch"' -i

What are those flags doing?

• MODE='"batch"' triggers the use of --interaction=batchmode for pdflatex, reducing the amount of output to the screen and also ensuring that pdflatex halts if there is an error (instead of asking for input).
• -i instructs make to keep going and complete all rounds of pdflatex

make clean && make

Always use make clean && make so that any errors are clearly exposed. The flag --halt-on-error is set for pdflatex by the Makefile to avoid annoying interaction prompts on failure

By running make clean, you will force a new copy of the paper to be downloaded. You may want to always use make clean && make or make clean && make MODE='"batch"' -i

Line numbers for compilation errors refer to the .tex file built in by make, pandoc, and sed. Checking the final .tex file usually helps with debugging compilation breaks.

Only changes to the bib, the template, and figures need to be committed. All other changes are tracked by Google Docs.
