In the "Springer Guidelines for Authors of Proceedings", I found that:
Keywords: Please list your keywords here. They should be separated by middots, if possible. …
So I assume that the LaTeX source should look like
\keywords{keyword1 \middot keyword2 \middot ... }
What is the magic \middot
here? Note that I made up the \middot
command here and I am actually looking for a correct latex command to substitute it.
I would like to avoid $\cdot$
and I tried \textperiodcentered
bud then there is no space between the dot and the following keyword. And typing \textperiodcentered~
also seems rather cumbersome.
Can anyone suggest what LaTeX command is expected? Surprisingly, I was not able to find it in Springer's documentation.

This example is found in a sample file that comes along with the author kit for some conference:
\keywords{First keyword \and Second keyword \and Another keyword}
This should result in a list of keywords separated by 'middots' as long as you use the llncs class file.
