Template for ACM style?

[znmeb]

There's a symposium coming up on Computation + Journalism (http://symposium2014.computation-and-journalism.com/) and they want papers submitted in ACM style (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Is there an easy way to "port" one of the existing rticles templates to this style? I'm not a LaTeX expert - should I just use LyX if I want to submit a paper?

To create a template (or even port an existing one) you do need to pretty familiar with LaTeX so I wouldn't try to do this on your own. Best bet as I'm sure you've surmised is to see if someone from the community has interest in creating the template.

@znmeb I added the ACM template and have sent in a pull request. You can play around with it by installing my fork of rticles.

devtools::install_github('ramnathv/rticles)

It was an interesting exercise for me to do this, searching for pandoc templates on github and using existing code in rticles.

Thanks!!
