<i>.tex </i>document.</span></p>
<p style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;'>A template manuscript is supplied entitled <i>bmc_article.tex</i> which
sets up the preferred page layout based on the standard <i>article.cls</i>. Two different styles are supplied; Review Style, which produces single column double spaced text, and Publication Style which produces two-column text. They can be toggled by commenting or uncommenting the relevant lines in the TeX file.</span>

during the creation of your manuscript.</span></p>
