\begin{abstract}
A clear and well-documented \LaTeX\ document is presented as an
article formatted for publication by ACM in a conference proceedings
or journal publication. Based on the ``acmart'' document class, this
article presents and explains many of the common variations, as well
as many of the formatting elements an author may use in the
preparation of the documentation of their work.

\section{Introduction}
Papers do not have any fixed sections names. Three levels of heading are supported in ACM papers.
A test reference of Bush's `As We May Think' \cite{bush:1945:awmt}, to indicate how references are set up.
There is no need to save this file when editing as Overleaf auto-saves the document. Use the green `Recompile' button in the upper menu bar to show or refresh the PDF. The output PDF is not saved into the project but can be downloaded, for reading outside overleaf, using a button at the right-hand end of the Overleaf menu-bar. To download the project files, use the home button in the menu bar to exit the project. Download options are available in your project listing.
Depending on your type of Overleaf account you will be able to share access with fellow authors---see Overleaf's documentation for details. Shared access also allows for leaving comments in the project.
\subsection{Do Not Remove Boilerplate Code}
The TEX document includes code to generate sections such as the the copyright block. Do not remove these. Authors of accepted papers will receive sections of code to replace these and customise the final paper accordingly.
Pay attention to the code comments about author information and add/remove authors as necessary; there must be at least one author. It is desirable that all/most authors have an ORCID ID as this is replacing the need for explicit emails (that my change as researcher move around. If an ORCID is supplied that author's name is made the anchor text of a web link to their ORCID page.
Macro codes are offered (\texttt{e.g. authornote}) which may be used as well as indicating the corresponding author(s) for communication during publication.
\subsection{General points on ACM papers}
See the file `sample-sigconf.pdf' provided with this template set. It explains the basics of a number of structural features.
Newer users of \LaTeX\ should take care to understand \LaTeX's special characters that need explicit escaping. Also be aware that typographic quotes and en-dash/em-dash hyphens are not used literally in TEX documents but are indicated with macros.
Overleaf has extensive documentation covering how to indicate typographic elements in \LaTeX code.
\subsubsection{A Third-level Heading}
Note that level-three headings are inset into the beginning in the first paragraph of that section, regardless of line breaks in the source document.
Sections at all three levels are auto-numbered, so these do not need to be numbered in your text.
%%
%% The acknowledgments section is defined using the "acks" environment
%% (and NOT an unnumbered section). This ensures the proper
%% identification of the section in the article metadata, and the
%% consistent spelling of the heading.
\begin{acks}
Acknowledgements go here. Delete enclosing begin/end markers if there are no acknowledgements.
\end{acks}
%%
%% The next two lines define the bibliography style to be used, and
%% the bibliography file.
\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
\bibliography{references.bib}
