Description

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the ACM class for typesetting as follows:

format:
   pdf:
      documentclass: acmart

When trying to render I get the following error:

compilation failed- error
LaTeX Error: Command `\Bbbk' already defined.

According to the docs I should be able to use

any other class made available by LaTeX packages [I] have installed.

I'm using Tex Live on MacOs and have checked that the package is in fact installed. According to the answers provided here I also understand that I don't need to specify \usepackage{acmart} anywhere.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Reproduce the reported YAML configuration with the acmart document class and the shown \Bbbk compilation error. Start with Quarto's PDF document-class handling and the linked document-class guidance; done means either rendering succeeds with acmart or the supported limitation and required configuration are documented.
