The template uses the packages parskip and tcolorbox. The ACM does not accept these according to this list https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/accepted-latex-packages .
The TAPS System will reject output from papers generated with this template.

Thank you for letting us know. That's really no good, and we'll fix it right away.

Does your paper depend on the tcolorbox environment or is it a matter of the package being called with \usepackage? I believe our declaration of parskip is easier to remove.

I think tcolorbox was added by having sourcecode in the document that was rendered to highlighted code.

Ok, I see where that's coming from. I believe it's ultimately coming from our redefinition of the Shaded environment which is used by Pandoc. I'm working on this right now (as a former academic who'd publish on ACM venues regularly, I can tell you that we really don't want to leave our users stranded because of TAPS!). If you need to reach me directly, I'm [email protected]

Sorry again.

Ok, here's a workaround for tcolorbox in your document while we incorporate it in the template. Add the following entries to your front matter:

code-block-border-left: false
code-block-bg: false

This will prevent us from using the tcolorbox package.
