Have to move files before being able to use pdflatex #28

Closed robvanderg closed 6 months ago

robvanderg commented 6 months ago

If a new "user" clones the repo and wants to get started with pdflatex and the acl_latex.tex file it can be a bit confusing. The acl_natbib.bst has to be moved to the root of the repo, or the acl_latex.tex + custom.bib into the latex folder for it to run pdflatex/bibtex successfully. Confusion could be avoided if these are moved in the repo already. Not sure what the preferred location is, I guess everything that is latex in the latex folder?, except if its desirable to prioritize the latex ones, then it might make sense to move the contents of the latex folder to the root.

Sorry, I agree this is a problem and it's probably my fault. The simplest thing to do would be to move acl_latex.tex back into the latex subdirectory. I thought that might be disorienting for Overleaf users, but it looks like that's how it's already set up on Overleaf!
