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.
