LatexScript
LatexScript is a set of Perl scripts designed to simplify the process of preparing LaTeX papers for journal submission, specifically addressing strict editorial requirements regarding file structure, formatting, and references.
Main Features
- Directory Unfolding: Flattens nested directory structures into a single folder for easy submission.
- Smart File Copy: Identifies and copies only the files actually used in your LaTeX document.
- Reference & Citation Checks: Scans for uncited references and equations to ensure document integrity.
- Figure Management: Validates the order of figures against their citations and automates EPS filename renaming.
- Input Merging: Consolates multiple
\input{...}files into a single LaTeX source. - arXiv Preparation: Streamlines the creation of archives specifically formatted for arXiv submission.
Style Requirements
For optimal results, the scripts expect a standard LaTeX coding style:
- Limit to one image inclusion per line.
- Place
\inputcommands at the beginning of the line.
Important Notes
These tools are meant to complement your paper's log file (ThePaper.log), not replace it. Always maintain a backup of your work before running these scripts.
