(O/T) Latex Question
I realize this is not about lyx but I am using lyx first and then
exporting to latex.
My problem is that the journal I am submitting to (Philosophical
Transactions Royal Society A) doesn't provide a bst file and insists
that bibliography items be placed in the latex file in full.
This is a pain because I use bibtex usually and have all my citations
stored nicely in a bib file. Is there a macro or method for converting a
latex file using a callout to a bib file to one in which all citations
are listed at the end of the file after the command
\begin{thebibliography}{}???
I see that the bbl file lists the references but doesn't seem to be in
the correct format for inserting in the original latex file...

I usually do this even when the publisher provides a .bst file because I do not want to submit my .bib file. Bo How does one obtain such a customized bst file? The publisher in this instance seems to have very specific formatting requirements that look a little non-standard to me. I remember seeing a method of customizing bst files but it seemed to have a rather steep learning curve and was quite technical... Richard

Rich, Yeah I know but I was also trying to put out a set of Ubuntu packages that plays well with apt-get. Georg's script sets dependencies while checkinstall unfortunately does not.

Re: way of citations (bibtex)

When you insert the bibliography, a button appears in your text. Click

If you want a lot of flexibility with the bibliography, enable the Use

I use that precise citation all the time (I am an atmospheric scientist)
and need the style you mentioned for agu/ams journals. I find it easiest
to switch styles to agu.sty or jpo.sty manually after exporting to
latex. After that I compile using a standard latex sequence. Natbib
