% Last Updated: 10/10/2024 Used to prepare for NSF ERI.
% Major changes:
% - use `subfile` package to allow individual compiling and using the
% same preamble set in the main file.
% - use `bibtex` to allow for separate citation and bibliography in two
% separated PDFs.
% - numbered all the individual files.
% - hold all source files in a flattened directory structure.

% Load the class file. Most of the layout and settings are controlled in `nsf.cls`. Change it to whatever you want.
\documentclass{nsf}
% All the preambles of this main tex file will also be used for individual tex files.
% Check the documentation to learn how to use it: https://ctan.org/pkg/subfiles
% Roughly speaking, it allows main file's preambles reused by individual files,
% while also allows each file has its own preambles. More importantly, each file
% can be compiled separately.
\usepackage{subfiles}
% set a commom title that can be used by individual files

% Missing files can be added easily; or are directly generated from NSF system; or from third-party websites.
% Each of the following individual files can be opened, edited, and compiled separately.
