## 中文版本

### 概述 ✅

我已经将AAAI 2026的两个版本（匿名投稿版本和camera-ready版本）**完整合并**成一个统一的模板文件 `aaai2026-unified-template.tex`。

该模板包含了原始两个模板的**所有完整内容**（共886行，比原始文件更全面），包括：
- 所有格式化说明和要求
- 完整的示例代码和表格
- 图片处理指南
- 参考文献格式要求
- 所有章节和附录内容
- 版本特定的Acknowledgments部分

### 主要差异分析

通过比较原始的两个模板，我发现主要差异在于：

#### 1. 包的加载方式
- **匿名版本**: `\usepackage[submission]{aaai2026}`
- **Camera-ready版本**: `\usepackage{aaai2026}`

#### 2. 标题差异
- **匿名版本**: "AAAI Press Anonymous Submission Instructions for Authors Using LaTeX"
- **Camera-ready版本**: "AAAI Press Formatting Instructions for Authors Using LaTeX --- A Guide"

#### 3. Links环境的处理
- **匿名版本**: Links环境被注释掉，防止泄露作者身份
- **Camera-ready版本**: Links环境正常显示

#### 4. 内容部分差异
- **匿名版本**: 包含"Preparing an Anonymous Submission"部分的特殊说明
- **Camera-ready版本**: 包含完整的格式说明和版权信息

### 依赖文件检查结果

✅ **已验证并复制到主目录的文件**：

- `aaai2026.sty` - AAAI 2026 样式文件（两个版本完全相同）
- `aaai2026.bst` - 参考文献样式文件（两个版本完全相同）
- `aaai2026.bib` - 示例参考文献文件
- `figure1.pdf` 和 `figure2.pdf` - 示例图片文件

所有这些文件在两个版本中都是相同的，因此统一模板可以正常工作。

### 如何使用统一模板

#### 切换到匿名投稿版本
在模板文件第11行，**取消注释**这一行：
```latex
\def\aaaianonymous{true}
```

#### 切换到Camera-ready版本
在模板文件第11行，**注释掉**或**删除**这一行：
```latex
% \def\aaaianonymous{true}
```

### 一键切换的核心机制

统一模板使用了LaTeX的条件编译功能：

```latex
% 条件包加载
\ifdefined\aaaianonymous
    \usepackage[submission]{aaai2026}  % 匿名版本
\else
    \usepackage{aaai2026}              % Camera-ready版本
\fi

% 条件标题设置
\ifdefined\aaaianonymous
    \title{AAAI Press Anonymous Submission\\Instructions for Authors Using \LaTeX{}}
\else
    \title{AAAI Press Formatting Instructions \\for Authors Using \LaTeX{} --- A Guide}
\fi

% 条件内容显示
\ifdefined\aaaianonymous
    % 匿名版本特有内容
\else
    % Camera-ready版本特有内容
\fi
```

### 文件清单

主目录现在包含以下文件：

- `aaai2026-unified-template.tex` - 统一主论文模板文件

## English Version

### Overview ✅

I have **completely merged** the two AAAI 2026 versions (anonymous submission and camera-ready) into a single unified template file `aaai2026-unified-template.tex`.

This template contains **all complete content** from both original templates (886 lines total, more comprehensive than the original files), including:
- All formatting instructions and requirements
- Complete example codes and tables
- Image processing guidelines
- Reference formatting requirements
- All sections and appendix content
- Version-specific Acknowledgments sections

### Key Differences Analysis

By comparing the two original templates, the main differences are:

#### 1. Package Loading Method
- **Anonymous version**: `\usepackage[submission]{aaai2026}`
- **Camera-ready version**: `\usepackage{aaai2026}`

#### 2. Title Differences
- **Anonymous version**: "AAAI Press Anonymous Submission Instructions for Authors Using LaTeX"
- **Camera-ready version**: "AAAI Press Formatting Instructions for Authors Using LaTeX --- A Guide"

#### 3. Links Environment Handling
- **Anonymous version**: Links environment commented out to prevent identity disclosure
- **Camera-ready version**: Links environment displayed normally

#### 4. Content Section Differences
- **Anonymous version**: Contains special instructions in "Preparing an Anonymous Submission" section
- **Camera-ready version**: Contains complete formatting instructions and copyright information

### Dependency Files Verification

✅ **Files verified and copied to main directory**:

- `aaai2026.sty` - AAAI 2026 style file (identical in both versions)
- `aaai2026.bst` - Bibliography style file (identical in both versions)
- `aaai2026.bib` - Sample bibliography file
- `figure1.pdf` and `figure2.pdf` - Sample image files

All these files are identical in both versions, so the unified template works properly.

### How to Use the Unified Template

#### Switch to Anonymous Submission Version
On line 11 of the template file, **uncomment** this line:
```latex
\def\aaaianonymous{true}
```

#### Switch to Camera-ready Version
On line 11 of the template file, **comment out** or **delete** this line:
```latex
% \def\aaaianonymous{true}
```

### Core Mechanism of One-Click Switching

The unified template uses LaTeX conditional compilation:

```latex
% Conditional package loading
\ifdefined\aaaianonymous
    \usepackage[submission]{aaai2026}  % Anonymous version
\else
    \usepackage{aaai2026}              % Camera-ready version
\fi

% Conditional title setting
\ifdefined\aaaianonymous
    \title{AAAI Press Anonymous Submission\\Instructions for Authors Using \LaTeX{}}
\else
    \title{AAAI Press Formatting Instructions \\for Authors Using \LaTeX{} --- A Guide}
\fi

% Conditional content display
\ifdefined\aaaianonymous
    % Anonymous version specific content
\else
    % Camera-ready version specific content
\fi
```

### File List

The main directory now contains the following files:

- `aaai2026-unified-template.tex` - Unified main paper template file
- `aaai2026-unified-supp.tex` - Unified supplementary material template file
- `aaai2026.sty` - AAAI 2026 LaTeX style file
- `aaai2026.bst` - Bibliography style file
- `aaai2026.bib` - Sample bibliography file
- `figure1.pdf` - Sample image 1
- `figure2.pdf` - Sample image 2
- `README.md` - This documentation

### Supplementary Material Template

#### Overview
`aaai2026-unified-supp.tex` is a unified template specifically designed for AAAI 2026 supplementary materials, using the same version switching mechanism as the main paper template.

#### Key Features
- **Version Switching**: Switch between anonymous submission and camera-ready versions by modifying one line of code
- **Supplementary Content Support**: Supports additional experiments, derivations, data, figures, algorithms, etc.
- **Format Consistency**: Maintains complete format consistency with the main paper template

### Important Notes

⚠️ **About Bibliography Style**:
- The `aaai2026.sty` file automatically sets `\bibliographystyle{aaai2026}`
- **Do NOT** add `\bibliographystyle{aaai2026}` command again in your document
- Otherwise you'll get "`Illegal, another \bibstyle command`" error
- Just use the `\bibliography{aaai2026}` command

### Compilation Commands Example

```bash
# Compile LaTeX document
pdflatex aaai2026-unified-template.tex
bibtex aaai2026-unified-template
pdflatex aaai2026-unified-template.tex
pdflatex aaai2026-unified-template.tex
```

### Common Issues and Solutions

#### 1. "Illegal, another \bibstyle command" Error
**Cause**: Duplicate bibliography style setting  
**Solution**: Remove the `\bibliographystyle{aaai2026}` command from your document, `aaai2026.sty` handles it automatically

#### 2. Incorrect Reference Format
**Cause**: Missing natbib package or BibTeX file issues  
**Solution**: Follow the standard LaTeX compilation process: pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex → pdflatex
