ACM has transitioned to a new authoring template. This new TeX template consolidates the previous eight individual ACM journal and proceedings templates. The templates are updated to the latest software versions, developed to enable accessibility features, and they use a new font set. Click the template image below for more information, and to get started.
The sample papers, which include example text and content set out in one of the eight formats, are available below. To start from the primary article template for journals or proceedings please see the ACM - Official Primary Article Templates gallery.
For support on using these templates, or on LaTeX in general, please contact the Overleaf team -- we're happy to help.
This Overleaf template provides files for authors submitting to the ACM Hypertext Conference. It is based on the ACM's Overleaf templates ,, removing files for unnecessary options.
