haha~~ ACM's brain-damaged and ugly proceedings package

由于要投稿的缘故,第一次认真的看了ACM latex template for proceedings. 排出来的版面真可以用Ugly来形容,而且有一个超级要命的规定:文章开头只能署名三个作者,其他的作者必须以Additional Author的身份,放在文章的Reference前面。这是为什么呢?简直让人不可思议。后来才发现其实是可以再加一个作者的,不过那就out of A4 paper range啦!这还不说,ACM必须要作者提供完整的TeX源代码,而且必须使用Unedited的ACM原始的cls文件…… 恶心……

所以就在琢磨有没有更好的方法来解决这个问题 ,无意间Google到一个好东东,看了文件头上的注释,笑死我了:

% ACM, in its infinite wisdom, has decided TO CLAIM THAT it wants
% TeX source for its papers, and requires authors to use an
% uneditable document class file. The results of using this class file
% are ugly. Embarassingly ugly. In short, ACM designed an ugly
% Microsoft Word template and then hacked some LaTeX -- badly --
% to produce approximately the same results. The style is poorly
% designed, and the design is poorly implemented -- the
% implementation is both buggy and inelegant. Seeing code this
% awful does not inspire much faith in the premiere society for
% computing professionals.
%
% This package tries to counter most of ACM's horrible decisions,
% without being so different that they actually notice.
哈哈哈哈!果然是UIUC的大牛啊:-D 所以大家以后投ACM都要use这个package哦:-) 下载的地址:http://compgeom.cs.uiuc.edu/~jeffe/pubs/tex/fixacm.sty
