I don't think this is a plain tex versus pdftex/pdflatex issue. I took a 
closer look at the file. In the preamble, it defines a custom 
environment named "roastlog" which includes some goofy (to me) font 
specifications ("Museo Slab 300 Italic"??). The \put commands in the 
body of the LyX doc are between \begin and \end commands for that 
environment, not begin/end document.


I've attached a LyX file in which I switched the fonts to defaults and, 
in the preamble, commented out the load of the xunicode package (because 
I'm using pdflatex and not xetex), all the setromanfont commands (you 
can try uncommenting them and replacing Museo whatever with some fonts 
you do have) and the graphics includes (because I don't have the graphic 
files). Your guess is better than mine as to why weird fonts are being 
used, but in your shoes I would be tempted to compile and print it 
(using default fonts) and then abandon the .tex file and, starting from 
scratch, create a LyX file that produces the same general output with 
fonts you like (meaning more stuff in the document body and no macros in 
the preamble).


Lotsa luck!

Hi Rich,

on quit LyX removes it’s temporary files and directories. This doesn’t happen 
on sudden death of LyX. The question now is: is /tmp the location for temporary 
files and directories?

On MacOS it’s not /tmp if you don’t set the path explicitly to /tmp.

Paul,

Huh! It was turned on, but I've no recollection of ever doing this. 
And, as

I wrote, it's never before been an issue. So I turned it off.


The presence of "preview" in the file name suggests to me that LyX might
have been compiling something for instant preview.


Could be. I opened LyX, looked in preferences (but not Display), exited,
then found Display and turned off instant preview. There were to *.tex 
files

using the CPUs after I exited the second time. Killed both processes.

As far as the undead process, if LyX spawns a latex / pdflatex / 
whatever
process to compile something and then you kill LyX, the child process 
does
not get killed automatically (at least in my experience). You have to 
nuke
it manually. I would expect the lyxpreviewN17596.tex file to be 
stashed in

the LyX temporary directory for the parent document.


If yesterday's files were in /tmp find should have found them. It didn't.

Rich,

The seldom benevolent digital deities have been on a bit of a rampage 
lately, based on personal experience. I don't know if it's caused by the 
pandemic, global warming, a surfeit of politicians (note that I'm 
listing disasters in ascending order of severity) or just random timing.


Anyway, hopefully the issue is fixed. The (presumed) fact that instant 
preview produced LaTeX processes that spun their digital wheels 
indefinitely might, however, indicate that you have something (math 
inset? other sort of inset?) that is indigestible to LaTeX, in which 
case the same problem may arise if and when you actually do compile the 
parent document.


Or maybe not. I've given up predicting the outcome of anything digital.

I think you are going to have to do the following:

 1. Install tda.cls in your LaTeX setup (park it in an appropriate
location and make sure your LaTeX installation can find it).
 2. Create a LyX layout file for the tda class, and store that in your
local LyX directory.
 3. Reconfigure LyX so it finds the new layout.

See chapter 5 of the LyX Customization manual for details.

If you're lucky, the tda template will be based upon some standard LaTeX 
template (e.g., report or book), and you can get a working layout very 
simply: Copy report.layout (say) to tda.layout, and put that into your 
LyX user directory. Look at the tda.cls file (or post it here). You are 
likely to find some material that shows what it is based upon.

1. Install tda.cls in your LaTeX setup (park it in an appropriate
   location and make sure your LaTeX installation can find it).
2. Create a LyX layout file for the tda class, and store that in your
   local LyX directory.
3. Reconfigure LyX so it finds the new layout.

See chapter 5 of the LyX Customization manual for details.

Importing tex file into Lyx

[Keith Sloan]

My Uni has supplied me with a tex template that they want me to use.
I have tried opening a new Lyx document and then importing the tex file 
but I get an error see attached.

An error occurred while running:
$$s/../MacOS/text2lyx -f "casestudy.tex"
"casestudy.lyx"

I am on Mac Catalina 10.15.7

I note the tex file has near the beginning

%Example of use of Time Domain Astrophysics latex class
\documentclass{tda}

And they are also supplying a file tda.cls

Not sure where to go to diagnose the problem.
Hope somebody can help advise

Subject: Intermediate .tex file during 'Convert' differs from manual 
export,causes problems

Hi all,

during creation of a Markdown converter in LyX I noticed some behavior,
which messes up the final output.

- created a new File Format 'Markdown' (as 'Document format' and 'With
  TeX fonts:' = 'PDF (XeTex)' <-- side note: using 'PDF (pdflatex)'
  would result in UTF-8 encoding errors during later conversion with
  pandoc error "pandoc: Cannot decode byte…")

- created a new Converter Definition 'LaTeX (XeTeX) -> Markdown', with
  converter command 'pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t markdown -o $$o $$i'
  (results below are also the same when using 'LaTeX (plain) ->
  Markdown' as Converter)

- used this converter to export as Markdown


This basically works, and when I have an algorithm included in the LyX
file, the export still finishes, but has a fault in the output.

The intermediate .tex temp file created by LyX, during exporting to
markdown, has the two lines
--
\begin{lstlisting}%
[language=Python]
--
which in the final markdown file look like
--
%
[language=Python]
--
This causes problems when people receiving the Markdown file then try
to convert them to PDF, as the code is like that not correctly rendered
as program code.

When manually exporting the .lyx as 'PDF (XeTex)' the resulting file
does not have the problem, the output is one line
--
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python]
--
which in the markdown file (generated using same command as in my new
LyX Converter: "pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t markdown -o
"minimal-example.md" "minimal-example.tex") results in the correct
output, which gets handled as code:
--
``` {.python language="Python"}
--

This is Lyx 2.3.2 on Debian Linux and I would be happy if someone could
tell me how to get this generator running with the expected output of
algorithms.
[Attached example files, hoping the file names are self-explanatory]

TYVM,
Alexander

Hi Mike,

I am sorry if you misunderstood something. These files are only related
to my problem I described below and which got solved by Jürgens
suggestions.
I do not know anything about any problems you might have posted to the
public lyx-user list.

Sorry again,

That's great the problem seems to be solved. Alexander, would you mind
still filing a bug/enhancement report for Pandoc? Even though the issue
doesn't affect you anymore, it would affect others. I suggest to make a
minimal example .tex file and to post it here:

  https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues

Let us know what issue number is so we can follow the discussion.

Thanks!

RE: Intermediate .tex file during 'Convert' differs from manualexport, causes problems

[Mike Reeks]

Thankyou for the feedback but it just sounds like a dialogue between  Alexand 
and Jurgen. I am not sure but are you are referring to something within the 
software of  Lyx and therefore a bug. From what you are saying  its with a temp 
file that’s created during the conversion. So can you explain why this error is 
occurring now and not before. What do you suggest I do? Is it a bug that’s just 
appeared in the lyx I have installed and not generally  the case. So maybe you 
would suggest reinstalling  lyx 2.2 or the most recnt version. Grateful for you 
feedback

Mike

Thx for first suggestions, but isn't the real point, that LyX does
different .tex exports, depending on if it is an intermediate temporary
file, or manually done?
Shouldn't it be always the same, or shouldn't there at least be a
possibility to force the one or other option?

Working around (IMHO) weird LyX behavior with additional scripts does
not really sound like the way to achieve the normal result, in my view…
If I only new at least which kind of .tex export mode LyX uses for
intermediate files, I would at least know where to try more tuning of
its behavior.

This is the even-greater-than-I-could-hope-for answer I could not
even hope for :-)

Adding 'nice' as flag for the converter solves the case (and the
question marks in my head) – thank you very much for your effort.

The reason for the difference is this commit:

So apparently the %\n improves error messages in Listings (which are
only relevant to batch export).

The converter flag "nice" will get you the LaTeX file which is also
used for export.

The files are semantically equivalent. The output is not weird at all.
It's pandoc that does not get this right.

Intermediate .tex file during 'Convert' differs from manual export, causes problems

[Alexander]

Hi all,

during creation of a Markdown converter in LyX I noticed some behavior,
which messes up the final output.

- created a new File Format 'Markdown' (as 'Document format' and 'With
  TeX fonts:' = 'PDF (XeTex)' <-- side note: using 'PDF (pdflatex)'
  would result in UTF-8 encoding errors during later conversion with
  pandoc error "pandoc: Cannot decode byte…")

- created a new Converter Definition 'LaTeX (XeTeX) -> Markdown', with
  converter command 'pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t markdown -o $$o $$i'
  (results below are also the same when using 'LaTeX (plain) ->
  Markdown' as Converter)

- used this converter to export as Markdown


This basically works, and when I have an algorithm included in the LyX
file, the export still finishes, but has a fault in the output.

The intermediate .tex temp file created by LyX, during exporting to
markdown, has the two lines
--
\begin{lstlisting}%
[language=Python]
--
which in the final markdown file look like
--
%
[language=Python]
--
This causes problems when people receiving the Markdown file then try
to convert them to PDF, as the code is like that not correctly rendered
as program code.

When manually exporting the .lyx as 'PDF (XeTex)' the resulting file
does not have the problem, the output is one line
--
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python]
--
which in the markdown file (generated using same command as in my new
LyX Converter: "pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t markdown -o
"minimal-example.md" "minimal-example.tex") results in the correct
output, which gets handled as code:
--
``` {.python language="Python"}
--

This is Lyx 2.3.2 on Debian Linux and I would be happy if someone could
tell me how to get this generator running with the expected output of
algorithms.

I do not understand. In the minimal example file you sent, indent
paragraph was *not* checked, and checking it solved the problem. So
there must be an additional problem in your thesis.

I can only answer this if I see the original file (not converted to the
recent LyX version). It might by a problem in lyx2lyx conversion.

I am using Debian 10  and Lyx  2.3.2.
In my thesis (2002) I used the algolyx package and it worked fine in 2002.
But I have been updating my thesis to fix a few things (a bad idea i
know) and in the updated
version most of my algorithms printed properly but a few failed for
reasons I do not
understand.  I seems like a Lyx or Latex error due to using upgraded
Lyx/Latex software
since I haven't changed the lyx code or latex code (not necessarily
true of course but not the issue here anyway).

Rather than track this issue down I decided to use the enumitem
package and rewrite the
algorithms that  Lyx/Latex could no longer handle.

Unfortunately, this also failed because of what appeared to be a bug
in the enumitem package.
So I emailed the enumitem package maintainer with a sample piece of
latex code generated by Lyx demonstrating the bug.  (Lesson learned:
Do not use Lyx to generate latex code demonstrating a bug in Latex.)

Anyway the maintainer determined that there was a '\noindent'  in the
latex code that
shouldn't be there and removing it solved the problem.  So the problem is not a
enumitem package bug!

Alas, I do not know why Lyx added the  '\noindent' code.  I did not
tell it to do so and so
now I (foolishly?) assume I have found a Lyx bug!

Can anyone tell me if this is a Lyx bug and if not then how do I get
Lyx to not add the
'offending \noindent' code?
I have attached the problematic Lyx file and the pdflatex tex file
generated from it containing
the 'noindent' code.


While I'm here i'd like to point out that when I run Lyx on this file
(and most other Lyx files)
I get the message:
'step: Counter does not exist: enum'  many times.
If anyone can shed light on why I get this message that would me most helpful.

Thanks for any help received.

Ralph Boland  rpbol...@gmail.com

Curious. First, when I compile your LyX file here (LyX 2.3.3, Linux Mint 
18.3) without making any changes to it, I do not see an error with level 
3 indentation. The "junk" entry in the AlgNum2 list aligns with the 
"deeper junk" entry in the AlgNum list. The deeper entries in AlgNum2 
also align with antecedents one level shallower in AlgNum. FWIW, I'm 
compiling with pdflatex. The compiled PDF file is attached.


Second, I do see a problem with indentation of the line "does this line 
also ...", and it is caused by a \noindent inserted immediately prior to 
the "if" from "if c = d". I don't think that \noindent is being inserted 
by LyX, at least not automatically. I retyped your document (without the 
notes and other baggage) and did not get the errant \noindent in my 
version (also attached). That leads me to wonder if some combination of 
typing stuff in and editing it somehow introduced the \noindent.

Thanks Jurgen,  your help has added to my insight into the problem.
Unfortunately it hasn't solved the problem.

The lines (paragraphs) in question,
in fact I think every line in the document of my Lyx file,
have the "Indent Paragraph"  box checked.

So I repeat:  is this a Lyx bug?   Is there anything I can do so that
the "\noindent"
code is not added by Lyx to the .tex file?

Thanks for any help received.

I don't know how it cae there, but the solution is: go to the two
respective lines ((a) if c = d then \,\,return B), open the paragraph
settings dialog, and check "Indent Paragraph".

Why does lyx add: '\noindent' when generating my .tex file

[Ralph Boland]

I am using Debian 10  and Lyx  2.3.2.
In my thesis (2002) I used the algolyx package and it worked fine in 2002.
But I have been updating my thesis to fix a few things (a bad idea i
know) and in the updated
version most of my algorithms printed properly but a few failed for
reasons I do not
understand.  I seems like a Lyx or Latex error due to using upgraded
Lyx/Latex software
since I haven't changed the lyx code or latex code (not necessarily
true of course but not the issue here anyway).

Rather than track this issue down I decided to use the enumitem
package and rewrite the
algorithms that  Lyx/Latex could no longer handle.

Unfortunately, this also failed because of what appeared to be a bug
in the enumitem package.
So I emailed the enumitem package maintainer with a sample piece of
latex code generated by Lyx demonstrating the bug.  (Lesson learned:
Do not use Lyx to generate latex code demonstrating a bug in Latex.)

Anyway the maintainer determined that there was a '\noindent'  in the
latex code that
shouldn't be there and removing it solved the problem.  So the problem is not a
enumitem package bug!

Alas, I do not know why Lyx added the  '\noindent' code.  I did not
tell it to do so and so
now I (foolishly?) assume I have found a Lyx bug!

Can anyone tell me if this is a Lyx bug and if not then how do I get
Lyx to not add the
'offending \noindent' code?
I have attached the problematic Lyx file and the pdflatex tex file
generated from it containing
the 'noindent' code.


While I'm here i'd like to point out that when I run Lyx on this file
(and most other Lyx files)
I get the message:
   'step: Counter does not exist: enum'  many times.
If anyone can shed light on why I get this message that would me most helpful.

Thanks for any help received.

Update .tex file

[Mueez Aizaz]

Hey Guys,

Hope everybody is doing well. I am using lyx for my master dissertation. I
received a template from the university with different aspects divided into
.tex files. Meaning there is a .tex file for introduction, a .tex file for
chapters, a .tex file abstract and so on.

I import the .tex file into lyx make changes but when I try to compile it I
get a large number of errors. I tried using texmaker but again when I
compile same errors. I looked around and found there is also a build.bat
file given. So if I make changes in the .tex file, save and then run the
build.bat file a final  pdf document is produced which shows my changes.

So basically I need to make changes to the .tex file and run the build.bat
file and it all works fine. I would like to continue working with lyx as I
am much more comfortable with the gui compared to texmaker. The problem is
lyx creates a .lyx file and the changes are made there and not in the .tex
file.

Is it possible to reflect the changes in the .tex file without compiling
the .lyx file? Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,
Mueez Aizaz.

Hi Mueez,
you may try to adapt to the concept of having child documents in a LyX 
master document.
You could then make a single LyX document of every tex file (using 
import) and in a second step to include all the single LyX documents as 
child documents in a Lyx Master document.

Study the manuals on this concept.

Re: Convert my thesis .tex file into .lyx

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing my M.Sc. thesis in latex template provide by my university

<http://www.ozyegin.edu.tr/getattachment/AKADEMIK-PROGRAMLAR/Fen-Bilimleri-Enstitusu/Ogrenciler-Icin/OzU-Thesis-Style-TEMPLATE.rar>).
As Lyx provides more user-friend space to write the science, I would
like to convert to .lyx file. However, because the document class is not
available on Lyx, it could not do so. I tried to import from
File/Import/latex(plain), but the error occurred while running. As I am
very new in Lyx, I could not understand the information given here
<http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts>. Please let me know there
is any simple way to do so.

Best regards,
Nader Mahmoudi



Dear Nader,


After having looked at the files it seems that creating a dedicated 
layout is the only option. The class ozu-thesis.cls is based on the 
report class so we can start from there. See the attached file 
ozu-thesis.layout which would be your starting point and which just 
loads the layout for the report class.


To use it you need to create a lyx file and select a local format file 
under "Class". See the attached example lyx file which needs to be saved 
in the same directory as ozu-thesis.layout, ozu-thesis.cls and the other 
files.


At this point it only has the features from the report class. You can 
then extend it with the features from ozu-thesis.cls in two ways:


* Use ERT to directly input LaTeX commands (this is quickly cumbersome 
for environments that you are going to use often but will allow you to 
move forward).


* You can progressively define the missing environments in the "Local 
format" pane after reading the "Customization" guide and the many 
examples located in the "layouts" dir of your lyx installation.


Try to compare the "view source" pane with the example tex file if you 
encounter problems.


Hopefully, once you are done, you can send us the final state of your 
layout so that others will benefit from your work.



Best,
Guillaume

Hello,

I prepared a document with lyx before submission to the editor. Hence
The pdf file generated by lyx is OK. However, I need to compile the .tex file

I have picture files like.
foo.eps.gz

But when I export the lyx file in latex (plain or pdflatex), the

The latex commands fails:

This has been discussed on the list quite a lot. You can't open an 
arbitrary TeX
file in LyX. You need a layout for whatever the document class is. 
These are

not terribly hard to write, and you will find many people who have written

Import tex file and reinterpret layout structure

I've unsuccessfully tried to find a solution to that problem: I write in
Lyx using AMS book. I export to tex and reimport. The layout is lost,

You found a bug. Attached is the original LyX-file. When you export this to TeX you get the attached

And in the result the square brackets are indeed not in TeX-code so the document is uncompilable.

Re: import tex-file to lyx with containing ERT-information

[Tino Langer]

Hello Uwe,

I tried it with the following snippet of tex-code
...
\multicolumn{6}{|l|}{\cellcolor[gray]{0.7}HIER EIN TEXT}\tabularnewline
...

Here, \cellcolor[gray]{0.7} should be surrounded by an ERT. But in LyX 
it isn't it. Have it to be marked as one command?


Many thanks - Tino

tex2lyx generates TeX-code for all things it don't understand. So the

You found a bug. Attached is the original LyX-file. When you export this to TeX you get the attached 
TeX file. When you import the TeX file (which contains your command), you get the attached result. 
And in the result the square brackets are indeed not in TeX-code so the document is uncompilable.

Could you please report this bug to our bugtracker:

import tex-file to lyx with containing ERT-information

Hallo,

from an own delevolped softwaretool I export statistics via tex-files,

You should be able to create the .bib file anywhere you want. For

Or just copy (not move) the file that you already have.

Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

[William Hanson]

I'm trying to submit a manuscript via the Springer web site to one of their
journals (Philosophical Studies).  Although the web site says they accept
many formats, including LaTeX2E and TeX, it won't accept the file that LyX
has produced.  Any ideas?  (I've contacted Springer too but so far have
received no response.)

Lyx will produce a LaTeX2e file IF you export the file as such:

FileExportLatex(plain)

It will produce a will with extension .tex in the same directory as
the original Lyx file.
Notice that the .lyx file that you open in Lyx is not latex and will
most likely not be accepted by Springer.

Thanks Stefano,

It worked, but I now have another problem.  The Springer web site has
accepted the .tex file that you helped me create, but when I look at the
contents of that file on their web site (in order to give it my Final
Approval) the references do not show up.  (There's no list of references
at the end of my paper, and all the little reference items in the text or
the paper appear as [?], rather than as [7], etc.) I suppose this is
because the references are in a BibTeX Generated Bibliography, as it says
at the end of my .lyx file.  How do I get that to Springer so that the two
files will work together to make the references to appear as they
should?

Ahh, that's trickier. You need to run latex and then bibtex on your
file (assuming you're using bibtex, instead of its later replacements
like biblatex and stuff). After you've done that, you'll find a file
with extension .bbl.
Append the content of that file to your tex file and you're in

explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSigplan (look at the
Including bibliography entries in LyX file section).

Notice, however, that Springer usually accepts submissions as .tex +
.bib files. I am not familiar with Philosophical Studies (in spite of
being a philosopher), but Springer's instructions are usually very
clear. Perhaps they want you to to combine the .tex and .bib file into
a zipped archive?

There's a Python script included with LyX that will do this for you. 
There are some remarks here:

about how to set it up as a converter, and also an explanation of why we 
do not set it up by default. We should probably put something in the

 .tex version of my file.  I am using bibtex, by the way.


I meant you need to run the latex program on the .tex file you
exported from Lyx. How to do that depends (slightly) on which platform
you work on.
But forget about that: I just checked the Springer instructions for
Philosophical studies,  and, as I suspected, they accept multi-file
manuscript zipped into a single archive. So my suggestion is to avoid
the complications of extracting the references and instead pack both
your lyx-exported .tex file and your bibliography (in a bib file) into
a single archive and then upload that.
How to do that, again, depends on your platform. If you are on Windows
there are many utilities that allow you to create zip archives. I
don't use Windows, so I can't be precise, but I vaguely remember a
program called  WinZip that did just that. Windows users on this list
may provide more specific advice.
On lInux, you'd just use the zip command from the command line. Open a
terminal window, move to the directory where your tex and bib files
are:

$cd /my/working/directory

and then issue the zip command:

$zip my_manuscript_archive my_file.tex my_references.bib

that will produce a file called  my_manuscript_archive.zip, which you
can then upload to the Springer site

On the Mac, you can do the same thing, I believe. Mac users may want
to provide more specific advice.

Note that Springer usually requires that your .bib file contains only
the references you use in your manuscript. If you have a  bib file
with other references (as most people do), you should save it as a new
file and then eliminate all the extra references (how to do that
depends on which software you use to manage your references).


 Since you're a philosopher and at Texas AM, you must know Chris Menzel.

I certainly do. We were even in the same dept for a few years.


Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

[William Hanson]

Thanks Stefano,

I now seem to be tantalizingly close to creating a zip folder (or zip
archive?) to send to Philosophical Studies.  I've created a .bib file that
contains only the references I use in my paper, but this file is inside the
Mendeley Desktop. And I *cannot* move it to any other location.  So in
particular I can't get it into the folder that contains the .tex file of my
manuscript.  If only I could do that, I think I would be able to apply
WinZip to create the zipped entity (file?, folder?, archive?) I need, which
I could then send to Philosophical Studies.

I'm in philosophy at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, by the
way.  I've met Chris only once or twice, but we've corresponded.  I admire
his work.

I like Chris's work, too, even though I am in a rather different

such a label makes any sense.)

Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

[William Hanson]

I'm trying to submit a manuscript via the Springer web site to one of their
journals (Philosophical Studies).  Although the web site says they accept
many formats, including LaTeX2E and TeX, it won't accept the file that LyX
has produced.  Any ideas?  (I've contacted Springer too but so far have
received no response.)

Lyx will produce a LaTeX2e file IF you export the file as such:

FileExportLatex(plain)

It will produce a will with extension .tex in the same directory as
the original Lyx file.
Notice that the .lyx file that you open in Lyx is not latex and will
most likely not be accepted by Springer.

Re: Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

Thanks Stefano,

It worked, but I now have another problem.  The Springer web site has
accepted the .tex file that you helped me create, but when I look at the
contents of that file on their web site (in order to give it my Final
Approval) the references do not show up.  (There's no list of references
at the end of my paper, and all the little reference items in the text or
the paper appear as [?], rather than as [7], etc.) I suppose this is
because the references are in a BibTeX Generated Bibliography, as it says
at the end of my .lyx file.  How do I get that to Springer so that the two
files will work together to make the references to appear as they
should?

Ahh, that's trickier. You need to run latex and then bibtex on your
file (assuming you're using bibtex, instead of its later replacements
like biblatex and stuff). After you've done that, you'll find a file
with extension .bbl.
Append the content of that file to your tex file and you're in
business. You can even do insert everything into you lyx file as
explained here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AcmSigplan (look at the
Including bibliography entries in LyX file section).

Notice, however, that Springer usually accepts submissions as .tex +
.bib files. I am not familiar with Philosophical Studies (in spite of
being a philosopher), but Springer's instructions are usually very
clear. Perhaps they want you to to combine the .tex and .bib file into
a zipped archive?

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?

[UD]

The problem that Hanson ran into is a common one, which I have commented 
on here
in the past.  It would be really nice if there was a simple way to 
automate the solution so that new users will
not need to come  to this list again (some users do not know that it 
exists) to find out
how to solve this problem (of generating a Latex file that is acceptable 
to journals, with all

the references included in the .tex file).

There's a Python script included with LyX that will do this for you. 
There are some remarks here:

http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4624
about how to set it up as a converter, and also an explanation of why we 
do not set it up by default. We should probably put something in the 
docs about it.

Best would be to document it on the wiki, and use appropriate keywords
to make it easily searchable/findeable, and/or point people to it when
they inquire on the list. Unless there is a smart script that could
handle this, I don't think that LyX could adapt itself to the quirks
of all the journals out there.
