1 Introduction

This reference guide gives a detailed description of the LATEX2ε SVProc doc-ument class Version 1.x and its special features designed to facilitate the prepa-ration of scientific books for Springer. It always comes as part of the SVProc tool package and should not be used on its own.

Tip: Follow these instructions to set up your files, to type in your text and to obtain a consistent formal style in accordance with Springer Nature’s layout specifications; use these pages as checklists before you submit your manuscript data.

• The Reference Guide describing SVProc features with regards to their functionality.

Should we refer in this tool package to standard tools or packages that are not installed on your system, please consult the Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN) at [4–6].

• multiple Springer Nature class options,
• a number of newly built-in environments for individual text structures like theorems, exercises, lemmas, proofs, etc.,

• enhanced environments for the layout of figures and captions, and• new declarations, commands and useful enhancements of standard envi-ronments to facilitate your math and text input and to ensure their output conforms with Springer Nature layout standards.

Page Style

In the SVProc class we have changed a few standard LATEX texts (e.g. Figure to Fig. in figure captions) and assigned names to newly defined theorem-like environments so that they conform with Springer Nature style requirements.

default all section headings down to subsubsection level are num- bered, second and subsequent lines in a multiline numbered heading are indented; Paragraph and Subparagraph head- ings are displayed but not numbered; figures, tables and equations are numbered chapterwise, individual theorem- like environments are counted consecutively throughout the book.

Numbering and Counting of Built-in Theorem-Like Environments

N.B.1 When the option envcountsame is combined with the options envcount-resetchap or envcountresetsect all predefined Springer Nature environments get the same counter; but the counter is reset for each chapter or section.

N.B.2 When the option envcountsame is combined with the options envcountchap or envcountsect all predefined Springer Nature environments get a common counter with a chapter or section prefix; but the counter is reset for each chap-ter or section.

oribibl use the Springer Nature class option only if you want to set reference numbers in square brackets without automatic TOC entry etc., as is the case in the original LATEX bibliog- raphy environment. But please note that most page layout features are nevertheless adjusted to Springer Nature re- quirements. (Please check usage of this option with your editor.)

2.3 Required and Recommended Packages

A useful package for subnumbering each line of an equation array can be found at ../tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/subeqnarray/ at the Com-prehensive TEX Archive Network(CTAN), see [4–6].

subeqnarray.sty defines the subeqnarray and subeqnarray* environ-ments, which behave like the equivalent eqnarray and eqnarray* environments, except that the individual lines are numbered as 1a, 1b, 1c, etc.

References

default Reference lists are numbered with the references being cited in the text by their reference number
natbib.sty sorts reference entries in the author–year system (among other features). N.B. This style must be installed when the class option natbib is used, see Sect. 2.2
cite.sty
generates compressed, sorted lists of numerical citations: e.g. [8,11–16]; preferred style for books published in a print version only

N.B. Use the MakeIndex program together with one of the Springer styles svind.ist for English texts
svindd.ist for German texts
to generate a subject index automatically in accordance with Springer layout requirements. For a detailed documentation of the program and its usage we refer you to [1].

2.4 SVProc Commands and Environments in Text Mode

if you need to abbreviate your heading to fit into the running head. Use the command

for your name(s). If there is more than one author, the names should be sepa-rated by \and.

Use the command

7

Use the command

to compile the header of your contribution.

Use the new or enhanced symbol commands provided by the SVProc document class:

Many upright lower-case Greek letters have been defined in the SVProc doc-ument class and are taken from the PostScript Symbol font.

For individual text structures such as theorems, definitions, and examples, the SVProc document class provides a number of pre-defined environments which conform with the specific Springer layout requirements.

Use the environment command

claim and proof.

Numbered environments will be produced by

Furthermore the functions of the standard \newtheorem command have been enhanced to allow a more flexible font selection. All standard functions though remain intact (e.g. adding an optional argument specifying additional text after the environment counter).

9

N.B. If you want to use optional arguments in your definition of a new theorem-like environment as done in the standard \newtheorem command, see below.

Use the new Springer mechanism

to define an environment whose counter is prefixed by either the chapter or section number (use [chapter] or [section] for [⟨within⟩]).
