1 INTRODUCTION
ACM’s consolidated article template, introduced in 2017, provides a consistent LATEX style for use
across ACM publications, and incorporates accessibility and metadata-extraction functionality
necessary for future Digital Library endeavors. Numerous ACM and SIG-specific LATEX templates
have been examined, and their unique features incorporated into this single new template.
If you are new to publishing with ACM, this document is a valuable guide to the process of
preparing your work for publication. If you have published with ACM before, this document
provides insight and instruction into more recent changes to the article template.

111:2 Trovato et al.
The “acmart” document class can be used to prepare articles for any ACM publication — confer-
ence or journal, and for any stage of publication, from review to final “camera-ready” copy, to the
author’s own version, with very few changes to the source.
2 TEMPLATE OVERVIEW
As noted in the introduction, the “acmart” document class can be used to prepare many different
kinds of documentation — a double-anonymous initial submission of a full-length technical pa-
per, a two-page SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies abstract, a “camera-ready” journal article, a
SIGCHI Extended Abstract, and more — all by selecting the appropriate template style and template
parameters.
This document will explain the major features of the document class. For further information,
the LATEX User’s Guide is available from https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
3 MODIFICATIONS
Modifying the template — including but not limited to: adjusting margins, typeface sizes, line
spacing, paragraph and list definitions, and the use of the \vspace command to manually adjust
the vertical spacing between elements of your work — is not allowed.
Your document will be returned to you for revision if modifications are discovered.
J. ACM, Vol. 37, No. 4, Article 111. Publication date: August 2018.
The Name of the Title Is Hope 111:3
4 TYPEFACES
The “acmart” document class requires the use of the “Libertine” typeface family. Your TEX installa-
tion should include this set of packages. Please do not substitute other typefaces. The “lmodern”
and “ltimes” packages should not be used, as they will override the built-in typeface families.
5 TITLE INFORMATION
The title of your work should use capital letters appropriately - https://capitalizemytitle.com/ has
useful rules for capitalization. Use the title command to define the title of your work. If your
work has a subtitle, define it with the subtitle command. Do not insert line breaks in your title.
If your title is lengthy, you must define a short version to be used in the page headers, to prevent
overlapping text. The title command has a “short title” parameter:
\title[short title]{full title}
7 RIGHTS INFORMATION
Authors of any work published by ACM will need to complete a rights form. Depending on the kind
of work, and the rights management choice made by the author, this may be copyright transfer,
permission, license, or an OA (open access) agreement.
Regardless of the rights management choice, the author will receive a copy of the completed
rights form once it has been submitted. This form contains LATEX commands that must be copied
into the source document. When the document source is compiled, these commands and their
parameters add formatted text to several areas of the final document:
• the “ACM Reference Format” text on the first page.
• the “rights management” text on the first page.
• the conference information in the page header(s).
J. ACM, Vol. 37, No. 4, Article 111. Publication date: August 2018.
111:4 Trovato et al.
Rights information is unique to the work; if you are preparing several works for an event, make
sure to use the correct set of commands with each of the works.
The ACM Reference Format text is required for all articles over one page in length, and is optional
for one-page articles (abstracts).
9 SECTIONING COMMANDS
Your work should use standard LATEX sectioning commands: section, subsection, subsubsection,
and paragraph. They should be numbered; do not remove the numbering from the commands.
Simulating a sectioning command by setting the first word or words of a paragraph in boldface
or italicized text is not allowed.
10 TABLES
The “acmart” document class includes the “booktabs” package — https://ctan.org/pkg/booktabs —
for preparing high-quality tables.
Table captions are placed above the table.
Because tables cannot be split across pages, the best placement for them is typically the top
of the page nearest their initial cite. To ensure this proper “floating” placement of tables, use the
environment table to enclose the table’s contents and the table caption. The contents of the table
itself must go in the tabular environment, to be aligned properly in rows and columns, with the
desired horizontal and vertical rules. Again, detailed instructions on tabular material are found in
the LATEX User’s Guide.
Immediately following this sentence is the point at which Table 1 is included in the input file;
compare the placement of the table here with the table in the printed output of this document.
To set a wider table, which takes up the whole width of the page’s live area, use the environment
table* to enclose the table’s contents and the table caption. As with a single-column table, this
wide table will “float” to a location deemed more desirable. Immediately following this sentence
J. ACM, Vol. 37, No. 4, Article 111. Publication date: August 2018.
The Name of the Title Is Hope 111:5
is the point at which Table 2 is included in the input file; again, it is instructive to compare the
placement of the table here with the table in the printed output of this document.
Always use midrule to separate table header rows from data rows, and use it only for this purpose.
This enables assistive technologies to recognise table headers and support their users in navigating
tables more easily.
11 MATH EQUATIONS
You may want to display math equations in three distinct styles: inline, numbered or non-numbered
display. Each of the three are discussed in the next sections.
lim 𝑥 = 0 (1)
𝑛→∞
Notice how it is formatted somewhat differently in the displaymath environment. Now, we’ll
enter an unnumbered equation:
∞
∑︁
𝑥 +1
𝑖=0
J. ACM, Vol. 37, No. 4, Article 111. Publication date: August 2018.
111:6 Trovato et al.
12 FIGURES
The “figure” environment should be used for figures. One or more images can be placed within a
figure. If your figure contains third-party material, you must clearly identify it as such, as shown in
the example below.
Fig. 1. 1907 Franklin Model D roadster. Photograph by Harris & Ewing, Inc. [Public domain], via Wikimedia
Commons. (https://goo.gl/VLCRBB).
Your figures should contain a caption which describes the figure to the reader.
Figure captions are placed below the figure.
Every figure should also have a figure description unless it is purely decorative. These descriptions
convey what’s in the image to someone who cannot see it. They are also used by search engine
crawlers for indexing images, and when images cannot be loaded.
A figure description must be unformatted plain text less than 2000 characters long (including
spaces). Figure descriptions should not repeat the figure caption – their purpose is to
capture important information that is not already provided in the caption or the main
text of the paper. For figures that convey important and complex new information, a short
text description may not be adequate. More complex alternative descriptions can be placed in an
appendix and referenced in a short figure description. For example, provide a data table capturing
the information in a bar chart, or a structured list representing a graph. For additional information

14 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Identification of funding sources and other support, and thanks to individuals and groups that
assisted in the research and the preparation of the work should be included in an acknowledgment
section, which is placed just before the reference section in your document.
This section has a special environment:
\begin{acks}
...
\end{acks}
so that the information contained therein can be more easily collected during the article metadata
extraction phase, and to ensure consistency in the spelling of the section heading.
Authors should not prepare this section as a numbered or unnumbered \section; please use the
“acks” environment.
15 APPENDICES
If your work needs an appendix, add it before the “\end{document}” command at the conclusion
of your source document.
Start the appendix with the “appendix” command:
\appendix
and note that in the appendix, sections are lettered, not numbered. This document has two appen-
dices, demonstrating the section and subsection identification method.
16 MULTI-LANGUAGE PAPERS
Papers may be written in languages other than English or include titles, subtitles, keywords and
abstracts in different languages (as a rule, a paper in a language other than English should include
an English title and an English abstract). Use language=... for every language used in the paper.
The last language indicated is the main language of the paper. For example, a French paper with
additional titles and abstracts in English and German may start with the following command
\documentclass[sigconf, language=english, language=german,
language=french]{acmart}
The title, subtitle, keywords and abstract will be typeset in the main language of the paper. The
commands \translatedXXX, XXX begin title, subtitle and keywords, can be used to set these ele-
ments in the other languages. The environment translatedabstract is used to set the translation
of the abstract. These commands and environment have a mandatory first argument: the language
of the second argument. See sample-sigconf-i13n.tex file for examples of their usage.
