Preparing your manuscript
*
You
will get the best results and your files will be easiest to
handle if you use LaTeX2e for the preparation of your manuscript
together with the corresponding Springer class file llncs.cls.
Only if you use LaTeX2e and llncs.cls will we be able to add
hyperlinks to your manuscript in the online version. The LaTeX2e
macro package for LNCS contains further files: llncs.dem
is a sample input file which you may take as a source for
your own input. llncs.doc (a TEX file) is the documentation
of the class, here you can find detailed instructions showing
how the macro package works. llncs.dvi is the resulting
DVI file of llncs.doc to enable you to print out the documentation
directly. We also provide the LaTeX2e source file of the "Authors'
Instructions", which may serve as a further sample input.
You can download it as a ZIP
archive.
If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use our old macro
packages for LaTeX
or for TeX.
Authors may also use MS Word. We provide the template
sv-lncs.dot (for use with PC systems) or sv-lncs
(for use with Macintosh systems) to help MS Word users to
prepare their manuscripts and to enable us to use their source
files for the online version of the LNCS. Please read the
documentation of the template
sv-lncs.pdf carefully, we also provide typeinst.doc,
our "Authors' Instructions", as an example input.
You can download all four files as a ZIP
archive.
We
would like to stress that the style files should not be manipulated
and that the guidelines regarding font sizes and format should
be adhered to. This is to ensure that the end product is as
homogeneous as possible.
For
more information please refer to Springer's "Information
for LNCS Authors" web page.
Producing a PDF version of your manuscript
PDF documents can be produced either by using commercial
software available from Adobe
or by using free conversion tools such as those available
at http://www.gobcl.com/,
http://www.pdf995.com/,
http://www.ps2pdf.com/convert/convert.htm
for Windows or the ps2pdf and pdflatex utilities
under Unix/Linux. In addition, recent versions of MS Word
may be able to save directly in PDF format. Please, preview
your PDF file with acrobat
reader to check that all the fonts and figures are properly
reproduced before submitting the manuscript.
