Other Specific Rules

  • It is obligatory for at least one of the authors to register for MFCS and present the paper at the conference.
  • Please use only one LaTeX source file (do not use any LaTeX include macros; bibliography data can, of course, be in a separate bbl file). Please provide the .bib file.
  • Do not include bibliographic references in the abstract (the abstract needs to be readable on its own, without the paper). Please try to avoid any special formatting commands in the abstract.
  • Use pdflatex and an up-to-date LaTeX system.
  • Use further LaTeX packages only if required. Avoid usage of packages like enumitem, enumerate, cleverref. Keep it simple, i.e. use as few additional packages as possible (note that we will need to recompile your paper).
  • Add custom made macros carefully and only those which are needed in the article (i.e., do not simply add your convolute of macros collected over the years).
  • Do not use a different main font. For example, the usage of the times-package is forbidden.
  • Provide full author names (especially with regard to the first name) in the \author macro and in the \Copyright macro.
  • Fill out the \subjclass and \keywords macros. For the \subjclass, please refer to the ACM classification at
  • Take care of suitable linebreaks and pagebreaks. No overfull \hboxes should occur in the warnings log.
  • Provide suitable graphics of at least 300dpi (preferrably in pdf format).
  • Use the provided sectioning macros: \section, \subsection, \subsection*, \paragraph, \subparagraph*, ...
    “Self-made” sectioning commands (for example, \noindent{\bf My subparagraph.} will be removed and replaced by standard LIPIcs style sectioning commands.
  • Do not alter the spacing of the lipics-v2016.cls style file. Such modifications will be removed.
  • Do not use conditional structures to include/exclude content. Instead, please provide only the content that should be published---in one file---and nothing else.
  • Remove all comments, especially avoid commenting large text blocks and using \iffalse ... \fi constructions. We recommend the advice available at: regarding how to automatically remove comments from a LaTeX file.
  • Keep the standard style (plainurl) for the bibliography as provided by the sample article.
  • Use BibTex and provide exactly one BibTex file for your article. The BibTex file should contain only entries that are referenced in the article. Please make sure that there are no errors and warnings with the referenced BibTex entries.
  • Use a spellchecker to get rid of typos.
  • A manual for the LIPIcs style is available at:
