Have a look at makebst.

If you are not comfortable of doing this, just find a .bst file that
is close to your publisher's style, and manually edit the .bbl file.

You can first find a .bst file that produce the bibliography in the
right format, then insert the generated bbl to the .tex file. I
usually do this even when the publisher provides a .bst file because I
do not want to submit my .bib file.

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

(O/T) Latex Question

2007-09-20 Thread Richard Kleeman
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...
