Document Classes ⇒ Help with class IEEEtran - how to leave a blank line

[apleto]

I am using class IEEEtran for a conference paper:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}

However, when I insert keywords, using:

Code: Select all

\begin{IEEEkeywords}...\end{IEEEkeywords}

the keywords appear just under the abstract, without a blank line between them.

Is there anything simple that I can do in order to have a blank line between the abstract and the keywords, without modifying the class itself?

Hi Apleto,

you could use a skip or \vspace before the IEEEkeywords environment, for example:

Code: Select all

...
\end{abstract}
\bigskip
\begin{IEEEkeywords}...
