For students submitting electronic copies of their work to KRG, only the following listed open standard formats will be accepted:
- Plain Text (.txt)
- OpenDocument (.odt)
- LaTeX and related (.tex, .bib, .cst, .dvi)
- Use line breaks generously!
- Break a line (by typing enter/return) after every 70-80 characters. So that your text file is compatible with text editors like vim and emacs.
- LaTeX ignores extra linebreaks or spaces, so please use line breaks generously!
- Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
- Postscript (.ps, .eps)
Submissions in any other formats will be deemed invalid. Please see Richard Stallman's view on Microsoft Word documents
