[Tex/LaTex] Show pageframe for LNCS article class

framedlncsmargins

I'm trying to see the "text boundaries" of an LNCS document to check whether my floats fit, as the package pageframe offers to do. I can't get it to work, unfortunately.

\documentstyle[pageframe]{book} wouldn't fit here, afaik since \documentclass{llncs} is how I should declare the document.
\documentclass[pageframe]{llncs} seems to ignore it.
\usepackage{pageframe} complains about \paperheight but I don't seem to be able to set that length.

Has anybody managed to use this package or to otherwise have the text box of a LNCS document displayed ?

The showframe package can help with this:

\usepackage{showframe}

Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but for a recent llncs-based paper I used something like

\usepackage{url}
\urldef{\mailsa}\path|author1@someinst.something|
\urldef{\mailsb}\path|author2@someotherinst.something|

in the preamble, and after the mainmatter, the institute commands reads

\institute{affiliation goes here\\ \mailsa\\ \mailsb}

[Tex/LaTex] How to use predefined command in LNCS

Try this example:

\documentclass{llncs}

\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}
Testing names:

\abstractname

\ackname

\appendixname

\section{Test}

\begin{abstract}
  This is the abstract.
\end{abstract}

\renewcommand{\abstractname}{\ackname}

\begin{abstract}
  This are the acknowledgements.
\end{abstract}

\section{\appendixname}
This is an appendix.


\end{document}

enter image description here

Then, change the line

\documentclass{llncs}

\documentclass[francais]{llncs}

and see what happens: all names have changed because llncs redefines them for French language.

enter image description here

As you can see, loading the llncs class with the option francais (you can also use the option deutsch to switch to German) all the names are switched to French.

Also note that this class doesn't define any predefined command for using \appendixname or \ackname. You have to load packages that use these names for exploiting them somehow.
