Planta template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Planta format?

What reference style does Planta use?
Planta uses Numbered (Springer Basic) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically.
