Abstract Objective The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is a popular open format for storing and exchanging computational models in biology. The definition of SBML is captured in formal specification documents. SBMLPkgSpec is a LaTeX document style intended to fill the need for a standard format for writing such specification documents. Results Specification documents for SBML Level 3 extensions (known as packages in SBML) are made more uniform with the use of a standard template. SBMLPkgSpec is a LaTeX class that provides a document framework for SBML Level 3 package specifications, to simplify the work of document authors while improving the overall quality of the family of SBML specifications.
