Liquid Syntax

Liquid for Designers

Adding a Publication/Paper

You should use the template provided in ./templates/paper-template.md for adding a new publication. Preprints will be rendered in a separate section, therefore make sure to update and remove it after publication (update bibtex section as well).

Each publication should be assigned an unique key like: YYYY_CONFSHORTNAME_PAPERSHORTNAME

This string will be the part of the URL referencing this publication.
