GLOW proceedings template

This repository hosts files that you can use to write proceedings for the annual GLOW colloquium. GLOW 47 in Frankfurt am Main is the first to host proceedings.

What do I need to do?

Overleaf

If you use overleaf, you can create a project using the GLOW proceedings template on overleaf. In case you do not have a paid version of overleaf and the project times out, consider on your own computer.

Locally

To use the proceedings template on your own computer, the main file you need is glow-proceedings-template.tex. In addition, you should specify some metadata in the preamble of your document. The following shows the preamble of main.tex in this repository:

\input{glow-proceedings-preamble}

% Add your bibliography here
\addbibresource{main.bib}

%% Specify paper metadata ====

% full title of paper
\newcommand{\fulltitle}{GLOW proceedings template}
% short title of paper for header
\newcommand{\shorttitle}{GLOW proceedings template}
% last name of author(s); for multiple use X & Y; X, Y, & Z; X et al.
\newcommand{\authorlast}{Lastname}

%% Specify paper metadata ====

% Specify author(s)
\author{%
    Firstname Lastname \orcidlink{0000-0000-0000-0000}\\
    University of Overleaf\\
    \email{firstname.lastname@overleaf.edu}
}

% Specify your own packages here (keep this to a minimum!)
\usepackage[newfloat]{minted}
\newacronym{wco}{WCO}{weak crossover}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
\usepackage[linguistics]{forest}

Feel free to use main.tex and main.bib as the basis for your submission. If you compile your file locally, keep in mind that the template uses fontspec, so you will need to compile it with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, both of which should be available if your LaTeX installation is recent.

The template also uses biblatex (not natbib), so compile the bibliography using the biber command.
