[Tex/LaTex] Affiliation symbol next to author but not in reference format

acmacmart

Using acm template, I'm trying to add multiple authors with different affiliations. My current way of doing it is

\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}

\begin{document}

\copyrightyear{2018}
\acmYear{2018}
\setcopyright{rightsretained}
\acmConference[SIGConf '18]{ACM SIG Conf}{2018}{USA}
\acmBooktitle{SIGConf '18: ACM SIG Conf, 2018, USA}
\acmDOI{00.0000/0000000.0000000}
\acmISBN{000-0-0000-0000-0/00/00}


\title[]{Title}

\author{Author 1$^1$, Author 2$^2$, Author 3$^2$, Author 4$^1$, and Author 5$^1$}
\affiliation{\vspace{0.1cm}
\institution{$^1$ Affilation 1}
\institution{$^2$ Affilation 2}
}
\email{{author1, author2, author3, author4, author5}@affilation.com}

\begin{abstract}
Abstract
\end{abstract}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
Intro

\end{document}

Which will display the following:

which is fine and what I want. The problem is that the ACM Reference Format will also include the affiliation numbers

Is there a way to hide the numbers from the ACM reference format, but keep them in the author section?

Best Answer

This is definitely not the way ACM wants authors to be entered. The approved way is

\auhor{Author1}
\affiliation{Aff1, including address}
\author{Author2}
\affiliation{Aff2}

[Tex/LaTex] Shared author affiliation in ACM Sig-proc

Insert this piece of coding just before the

\begin{document}

like so...

%
\def\sharedaffiliation{%
\end{tabular}
\begin{tabular}{c}}
%
\begin{document}

and then adjust your particular 'author block' like so (example shown for 3 authors)...

\title{Alternate {\ttlit ACM} SIG Proceedings Paper in LaTeX
Format\titlenote{(Produces...}}

\numberofauthors{3}
% Three authors sharing the same affiliation.
    \author{
      \alignauthor Ben King\\      
      \email{king@cs.berkeley.edu}

[Tex/LaTex] Multiple authors with different primary affiliation, but same additional affiliation

Here's a solution. I've made a new command \addauthornote which takes a single argument, a number corresponding to the n-th additional affiliation. This will add the footnote mark corresponding to that additional affiliation and add it to the current author.

Here's a complete example using 4 authors with 2 additional affiliations.

%%%% Proceedings format for most of ACM conferences (with the exceptions listed below) and all ICPS volumes.
\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}
\makeatletter

% Use this command to add an existing supplemental affiliation to an author
% \addauthornote{1} adds n-th additional affiliation mark.   
\newcommand\addauthornote[1]{%
  \if@ACM@anonymous\else
    \g@addto@macro\addresses{\@addauthornotemark{#1}}%
  \fi}

\newcommand\@addauthornotemark[1]{\let\@tmpcnta\c@footnote
   \setcounter{footnote}{#1}\addtocounter{footnote}{-1}
    \g@addto@macro\@currentauthors{\footnotemark\relax\let\c@footnote\@tmpcnta}}
