Adapting Springer LNCS template to B5 paper

Post by Ingridon »

Dear colleagues,
I am new here so sorry in advance if a similer topic was already created (could not find it so far).
I need to edit my conference article but it should be adapted to B5 paper from standard Springer LNCS template.
Could you please advice what lines should be put in source code to apply these changes?
There was no need to adapt to B5 before so no such and experience yet.
Much appreciate you assistance and thanks a lot in advance!

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Welcome,

the standard question i ask in these cases: Did you check with Springer if you are allowed to make those kind of changes?
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Yes,this time it is required.Here is a note from responsible conference chair:

Paper must be formatted in accordance with "Springer LNCS" format and adapted to B5 paper by reduction of the margins.
Thank you!

Well, in this case: Package geometry does what you need to do.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{b5paper, inner=1cm, outer=2cm, top=1.5cm}
I don't know which margin settings are actually ok, and it seems the guys at Springer don't know either. That is a very inaccurate instruction.
