adbrucker / llncsconf Goto Github PK

In case of submitted, the note is on each page:

In case of intended, the note is only on the first page:

I wish, it was on each page, because the "no distribution" hint is extremely important.

I would also add the copyright statement as in submitted, because in both cases the authors have the copyright.

(Maybe, it would be possible to configure the content of the copyright - or just a switch to NOT show the copyright at all)

in connection with the project "Tagged PDF" we, the LaTeX Team, are
extending the support for pdf related commands in the LaTeX kernel.

The new code is in part already in the kernel (in l3pdf and l3kernel)
and in part in a temporary testphase package pdfmanagement-testphase.

Most importantly: with the new code we want to replace a few primitives
which write to central dictionaries and resources in the pdf by a new
managed command to prevent clashes between packages and kernel code.
This means that packages which use one of \pdfinfo, \pdfcatalog,
\pdfpageattr, \pdfpagesattr or \pdfpageresources (and analog commands
of the other engines) are incompatible with the new pdfmanagement.

This affects llncsconf which uses \pdfpagesattr to set the CropBox.

This should be replaced (if the pdfmanagement is detected ) by e.g.

\ExplSyntaxOn
\pdfmanagement_add:nnn {Pages}{CropBox}{[92~114~523~780]}
\ExplSyntaxOff

The author name "feels" too large in the lower part in the case of submitted:

It should have the same size as the line before.

When using following documentclass settings, the paper margins are put wrong when using llncsconf

\documentclass[norunningheads,a4paper]{llncs}[2015/06/24]

Example output:

I think, it would be great if users could just use this package without having to download it from this page. I'd also like to include this package in my improved start for LNCS papers.

Therefore, would it be possible to publish this package on CTAN?

I would propose:

• Add a CHANGELOG.md following keepachangelog (this is #4)
• Follow semantic versioning and release version 1.0.0 as first version
• Use ctanify for CTAN preparation

Link to CTAN package upload: https://www.ctan.org/upload

I successfully published scientific-thesis-cover 4.0.0 a few days ago on CTAN and can say that it is very easy with ctanify.

Maybe, it would make sense to add a CHANGELOG.md following the format by keep-a-changelog: http://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/

I would just release a version 1.0.0 just stating "Initial public release".
