Development

Here are some useful things to know.

• Uncomment the following line in paper/preamble.tex to remove all comments from the compiled paper.

  % \PassOptionsToPackage{final}{changes}

• Register yourself as a commentator with your own color in paper/preamble.tex as seen here:

  \definechangesauthor[name={Tobias}, color=alizarin]{T}

  Then, comment or propose a replacement or deletion with

  \comment[id=T]{<some-comment>}
  \delete[id=T]{<comment>}{<to-be-deleted>}
  \replaced[id=T]{<comment>}{<to-be-replaced>}

Notes for Updating the arXiv Version

1. Compile the document without comments, i.e. with \PassOptionsToPackage{final}{changes}.

2. Save the resulting paper.bbl file in the src folder where paper.tex is.

3. zip the src folder and upload it to archive.

If the run on arxive fails, the most likely culprits are:

• it used tex and not pdflatex in the command -> put \pdfoutput=1 as first line of paper.tex

• everything before \begin{document} must be in the main paper without input statements.
