This is a borrowed 2-cent tip from a source I now don’t recall. (Kindly comment if it was YOU). My apologies in advance for not remembering you.
To create IEEE PDF eXpress compatble PDF files from your LaTex sources: (on Linux)
And you should be good to go.
I learnt this tip from:
Just putting it up here on my space, so as to replicate this awesomely useful tip so that I can quickly refer here when I need it and also for Google-fu to find it so that it may save some time for you, reader:
Steps:
Create a refs.bib file with all the BibTex entries, which are easily available from Google Scholar or similar
Create a “dummy” .tex file with the following entries:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{refs}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}
Now, do the following:
$ latex dummy $ bibtex dummy $ bibtex dummy $ latex dummy
You will see a dummy.bbl file containing all your BibTex entries in \bibitem format.
Peace.
No trivial trivia this post, but just a sample post to try out LaTex in WordPress. See here for help.
Do you use LaTeX for your document processing requirements? Then why switch to any other application when you need to create presentations? Try Beamer instead.
My article on Beamer is out in the November, 2009 issue of Linux For You. By next month, the article will be available at http://www.linuxforu.com. If you want to take a look at it, email me and I might be able to share a personal copy.
Programming and writing about it.
