% To hide the supplementary material (e.g., for the first submission deadline),
% use the [hidesupplement] option:
%
% \usepackage[hidesupplement]{latex-simple}
%
% To compile a non-anonymized camera-ready version, add the [final] option (for

%
% or

% \usepackage[final, hidesupplement]{latex-simple}

\usepackage[final]{latex-simple}

% You may use any reference style as long as you are consistent throughout the

\usepackage{natbib}

% and for biber and biblatex you may use:

\title{Documentation for the \texttt{latex-simple} package}

% The syntax for adding an author is
%
% \author[i]{\nameemail{author name}{author email}}
%
% where i is an affiliation counter. Authors may have
% multiple affiliations; e.g.:
%
% \author[1,2]{\nameemail{Anonymous}{anonymous@example.com}}

\author[1]{\nameemail{Author 1}{email1@example.com}}
\author[2,3]{\nameemail{Author 2}{email2@example.com}}
\author[3]{\nameemail{Author 3}{email3@example.com}}
\author[4]{\nameemail{Author 4}{email4@example.com}}

% if you need to force a linebreak in the author list, prepend an \author entry
% with \\:

\author[3]{\\\nameemail{Author 5}{email5@example.com}}

% Specify corresponding affiliations after authors, referring to counter used in
% \author:

\affil[1]{Institution 1}
\affil[2]{Institution 2}
\affil[3]{Institution 3}
\affil[4]{Institution 4}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
  Documentation for \texttt{latex-simple} Package.
\end{abstract}

To ensure that line numbering works correctly with display math mode, please do \emph{not} use \TeX{} primitives such as \verb|$$| and \texttt{eqnarray}.  (Using these is not good practice anyway.)%

\footnote{\url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/503/why-is-preferable-to}}
%
Please use \LaTeX{} equivalents such as \verb|\[ ... \]| (or \verb|\begin{equation} ... \end{equation}|) and the \texttt{align} environment from the \texttt{amsmath} package.%

\section{References}

Authors may use any citation style as long as it is consistent throughout the
document. By default, we propose the style defined in `latex-simple.bst` which uses \texttt{natbib/bibtex}, which can be used by including the following at the end of the document:

\begin{verbatim}
\bibliography{references}
\bibliographystyle{latex-simple}
\end{verbatim}

where `latex-simple` refers to the file `latex-simple.bst` and references to `references.bib`, a BibTeX file containing bibliographical entries.

You may create a parenthetical reference with \verb|\citep|, such as appears at the end of this sentence \citep{mitchell2003venus}. You may create a textual reference using \verb|\citet|, as \citet{mitchell2003venus} also demonstrated.

\section{Tables}

We recommend the \texttt{booktabs} package for creating tables, as demonstrated in Table \ref{example_table}. Note that we recommend that tables are centered, that captions appear \emph{above} the tables, and that horizontal rules are placed above and below the table and after the column names. However, horizontal lines for each row are not recommended and vertical rules are discouraged.

\begin{table}
  \caption{An example table using the \texttt{booktabs} package.}
  \label{example_table}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{lrr}
    \toprule
    & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Metric} \\
    \cmidrule{2-3}
    Method & Accuracy & Time \\
    \midrule
    Baseline & 10 & 100 \\
    Our method & 100 & 10 \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}

\section{Figures and subfigures}

The \texttt{latex-simple} style loads the \texttt{subcaption} package, which may be used to create and caption subfigures. Please note that this is \emph{incompatible} with the (obsolete and deprecated) \texttt{subfigure} package. A figure with subfigures is demonstrated in Figure \ref{example_figure}. Note that figure captions appear \emph{below} figures.

Please ensure that all text appearing in figures (axis labels, legends, etc.) is legible and be mindful of the use of colour: favour palettes that are colour-blind friendly and legible if printed in black/white.

\begin{figure}
  \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
    \centering
    \framebox{Imagine this is a nice figure}
    \caption{Subfigure caption.}
    \label{example_figure_left}
  \end{subfigure}
  \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
    \centering
    \framebox{Imagine this is another nice figure}
    \caption{Another subfigure caption.}
    \label{example_figure_right}
  \end{subfigure}
  \caption{An example figure with subfigures. \subref{example_figure_left}: left figure. \subref{example_figure_right}: right figure.}
  \label{example_figure}
\end{figure}

\section{Pseudocode}
\label{sec:code}

To add pseudocode, you may make use of any package you see fit---the \texttt{latex-simple} package should be compatible with any of them. In particular, you may want to check out the \texttt{algorithm2e}%
%
\footnote{\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/algorithm2e}}
%
and/or the \texttt{algorithmicx}%
%
\footnote{\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/algorithmicx}}
%
packages, both of which can produce nicely typeset pseudocode. You may also wish
to load the \texttt{algorithm}%
%
\footnote{\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/algorithms}}
%
package, which creates an \texttt{algorithm} floating environment you can access
with \verb|\begin{algorithm} ... \end{algorithm}|. This environment supports
\verb|\caption{}|, \verb|\label{}| and \verb|\ref{}|, etc.

\section{Adding acknowledgments}

You may add acknowledgments of funding, etc.\ using the \texttt{acknowledgments} environment. Acknowledgments will be automatically commented out at submission time. An example is given below in the source code for this document; it will be hidden in the \textsc{pdf} unless the \texttt{final} option is given.

\begin{acknowledgements}
  Thank y'all!
