Paper Format

General Guidelines
``````````````````
- All figures and tables should have captions.
- License conditions on images and figures must be respected
(Creative Commons, etc.).
- Code snippets should be formatted to fit inside a single column
without overflow.
- Try to use as little custom LaTeX markup as possible.
- The paper abstract should be a single paragraph.
Papers are formatted using reStructuredText and the compiled version should be
no longer than 7 pages, including figures. Here are the steps to produce a
paper:

example paper is provided in ``papers/00_vanderwalt``. Create a new
directory ``papers/firstname_surname``, copy the example paper into it, and
modify to your liking.

- Run ``./make_paper.sh papers/firstname_surname`` to compile your paper to PDF
(requires LaTeX, docutils, Python). The output appears in
``output/firstname_surname/paper.pdf``.
