\section*{About this package}
This is an unofficial template for ERC projects. You must check yourself that the results follow the ERC guidance!
\subsection*{Using versions}
This makes use of the `versions' package. \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/versions?lang=en}
There is some code in the preamble which can be uncommented to compile the B1 or B2 versions.
For B1 you should add/uncomment \verb*|\includeversion{b1}\excludeversion{b2}| and for B2 you should add/uncomment \verb*|\includeversion{b2}\excludeversion{b1}|
\begin{b1}
I'm in B1 only.
More B1
\end{b1}
\begin{b2}
I'm in B2.
\end{b2}
I'm in both.
\section*{Script to generate the versions}
There is a bash script in the folder which can be run in the terminal to generate the B1 and B2 versions automatically, \verb|generate_erc_versions.sh|. Should work automatically on mac and linux. This should be run on your computer not on overleaf, so requires the documents to be on your computer. Either download the template and work on them locally or use, for example, the sync features of overleaf.
