Re: exporting tex for newbies

[Bob Alvarez]

Here is how exported a tex file for an AIP journal. It was easier than I
thought it would be--thanks Lyx developers!

1. Put Lyx file same directory as the graphics files.Modify the graphics
file addresses in the Lyx file if you, like me, have them in a separate
directory while writing the manuscript.  Make sure the Lyx file works by
previewing the pdf.
2. Do a File|export|pdflatex.
3. I think this automatically converts the graphics files to pdf, which are
needed for the .tex file to work. If not, try running pdflatex from the DOS
command line. It should be in the system path from your Lyx installation.
4. The pdflatex creates several files in the directory including one with a
.bbl extension. Open that one with a text editor like Notepad and select
all of it and copy to the clipboard.
5. Open the .tex file in the text editor, scroll to the end and look for
the two lines starting with bibfiles ... and options ...
6. delete those lines and paste in the contents of the .bbl file in their
place. Save the modified .tex file

That's it. The journal website seems to accept the file.

additional notes:
The journal website converts my .eps graphics files to .pdf so I did not
have to upload them.

  Thanks for your reply. Some questions:


1. What is a 'bbl' file? Is that the same as my bibtex file? If not,
how do I produce it?
2. There are multiple latex export options e.g. Latex (Luatex), Latex
(xetex), ... Which one do you suggest I use?

exporting tex for newbies

[Bob Alvarez]

I recently had a paper accepted by an American Institute of Physics 
journal. The paper was reviewed from pdf documents created by Lyx but 
now the AIP emails: Please upload your article file as a Word or Tex 
file. AIP production cannot use a PDF as the article source file. I 
assume they want to reformat the article for the standard of the journal.


I have read several threads on the  User's group and this does not seem 
as simple as doing a  File|export|latex.

Some issues that seem to come up are handling citations, and figures.

Can anyone suggest a step-by-step method for a Tex newbie to create a 
package that I can send them? The package might include the Latex file 
created by one of the export options (please specify which one), my 
bibtex file, plus ???


BTW, my figures are all in eps format and I assume the AIP can use those??

FWIW, I am using Lyx 2.0.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

Re: exporting tex for newbies

[PhilipPirrip]

export latex (pdflatex)

run pdflatex on the name of your tex file  (once or twice)

run bibtex on the same, but without .tex extension (i think)

bibtex will produce .bbl file

copy the contents of the .bbl file to the end of your .tex (replacing 
bibliography command that's already there)


check if the new .tex works, without having .bib file in the folder

send .tex to the publisher


you might need to convert your .eps to .pdf



I believe that many of these files can be already found in LyX temp 
folder after successful compilation of your .lyx

Bob,

If they really mean TeX, as opposed to LaTeX, then I don't think LyX
can do that. LyX produces LaTeX, not TeX.

If LaTeX is acceptable, then I think it's as simple as:

lyx --export latex

I know there's also a way to do it from LyX's menu system, but I don't
have it open right now. I think it's File-Export.
