texsupport.springer-sola

LaTeX author support files for the journal Solar Physics.

Contents

The following files are given in the repository (or directly in .zip archive):

Sample

• sola_example_6.tex - sample paper. It contains useful information about typesetting article with spr-sola class file.

• sola_example_6.pdf - output after LaTeX compilation:

  latex sola_example_6.tex
  bibtex sola_example_6.aux
  latex sola_example_6.tex
  latex sola_example_6.tex
  dvips sola_example_6.dvi
  ps2pdf sola_example_6.ps
  

Files included at compilation

• Four figures: fig1a.eps, fig1b.eps, fig1c.eps, fig1d.eps (SVG→PS→EPS).
• Bibliography: sola_bibliography_example.bib.

Extra information

• sola_keyword_list.txt

Formatting files

• spr-sola.cls

Template

• template.tex

Setup

• Clone the repository or download the .zip archive.
• Install LaTeX style files (spr-sola.cls, spr-mp-sola.bst) in your TeX system or place them in the same directory where your *.tex file is.
• Read the instructions (sola_example_6.pdf) for the preparation of your LaTeX document.
• Use the template file template.tex to prepare your manuscript.

Notifications

• spr-sola has option “linksfromyear” and when hyperref is loaded it makes a hyperlink only from year component of the cite command. This solves the problem of overfull boxes when dvips driver is used. Citation style should be an author-year, and the hyperref should be loaded somewhere in preamble. Use “nolinksfromyear” if you want to disable it.
• spr-sola loads a natbib package. Use “nonatbib” option if you don’t want to load it.
• Option “showbiblabels” outputs \bibitem label on every bibitem end (command \endbibitem). This option should be used just for compatibility while citing a document.

Troubleshooting

• If you are using bibtex8 version, don’t forget an option -w (“wolfgang”). Otherwise, You’ll get an error:

  Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's wizard-defined function space 3000
  

• If You are getting error like:

  Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's number of string global-variables
  

  that means Your bibtex version is too old. You should download latest version 0.99d. This version fixes all limitation issues. (One of the binaries location is here).
