Line numbers printed in acknowledgements environment even when line numbering is disabled

[adadams]

This appears to be limited to AASTeX 6.3.1. For example, if using preprint mode, line numbers will still be printed within the acknowledgements environment.

(Important for those using the template to submit preprints to arXiv, as they will auto-reject the submissions for any line numbers.)

Thanks. Do the workarounds in #130 help?

[augustfly]

The best solution is to use

\section*{Acknowledgments}

and avoids the otherwise compound fractures in the \acknowledgements command. This only complicates easy anonymizing of manuscripts for those wishing to do that.

Hi August, Sorry, yes, I was able to comment out the line numbering syntax in the acknowledgements part of the class file. However, this appears to be only an issue *in* the \section*{Acknowledgements} approach, rather than the older /acknowledgements. In any case, I am now more confused why this has no patch since 2021. Not that it is terribly important at the moment. Thank you for your help, and happy holidays, Arthur

just a note: arXiv is rejecting papers with this bug now.

[augustfly]

Yeah, that was the prompt for the initial topic and for #130. AASTEX 7 is under dev that will hopefully iron out these things. FWIW, there are also reports of a moderator rejecting submissions bc figures or tables float in to the references. If anyone can find and share an itemized list of arXiv rejection and/or quality control criteria, then I'd really appreciate it.

Confirming that this arXiv rejection continues as of 2024-11-22. Not ideal since it doesn't show up in the arXiv validation steps!
