Simplified LNCS Template

This repository aims to provide a quick start into modern LaTeXing with LNCS. This template is based on the one available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Quick start

• Click on Download ZIP or here
• Extract template.zip in the folder where you want to write your paper
• Edit paper.tex.
• latexmk -pdf paper.tex

Changes in comparison to Springer's version

• Removal of all files except llncs.cls and splncs03.bst
• Adding a skeletton paper.tex file
• Adding modern packages such as microtype, cleveref, csquotes, paralist, hyperref, hypcap, cfr-lm
• Support of copy and paste from the generated PDF: Glyphs are encoded using unicode characters.
• Support for \powerset command
• Allow copy and paste of text without getting words with ligatures such as "workflow" destroyed

Using with your git repository

Initialization

This howto assumes that you don't have a git repository for your paper yet. If you have, just add https://github.com/latextemplates/LNCS.git as upstream and merge the branch "template" into your "master" branch.

1. Open command line
2. git clone https://github.com/latextemplates/LNCS.git
3. cd LNCS
4. git remote rename origin github
5. git checkout -b master

After that you can use and push the master branch as usual.
