这是一篇教程，教你用最快的方式将Word文件转化成Latex文件，最后生成高质量的PDF文档。 国际知名的出版社（比如Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley）基本都提供两种提交文章的方式: Word模板和Latex模板。

什么是Latex,以及它有什么优势：

  • LaTeX是一类用于文件编辑和排版的系统，生成高印刷质量的各种文档。
  • LaTeX编辑和排版的核心思想在于，通过，规定了每一句话在文章中所从属的层次，从而极大方便了对各个层次批量处理。
  • LaTeX在使用体验方面，最不易被Word替代的有四个方面：方便美观的数学公式编辑、不会乱动的退格对齐、非所见即所得因此可以在编辑的时候用退格和换行整理思路但生成PDF出来不影响美观、部分导师和刊物不接受Word排版的文章。

软件安装

  • Pandoc: If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife.
  • JabRef: Native BibTeX and BibLaTeX support, perfect for text-based typesetting systems such as LaTeX and Markdown.
  • LaTex: MikTex, GhostScript and PDF viewer, and TexStudio

三步教程

Step1. Word2Latex using Pandoc

  • Reference in word using Endnote
  • Reference in Latex using JabRef

pandoc [options] [input-file]…

-s: standalone

–wrap=auto, none, or preserve

–extract-media=. : extract figures from the document

Check details in the pandoc manual

pandoc --extract-media=. --wrap=none -s input.docx -t latex –o output.tex

Step2a. 公式，表格和图片

  • Equations: Convert to default math format in Word

%equation
begin{equation}
label{eq:eq1}
x + y = z
end{equation}
%table
begin{table}[H]
caption{Table 1label{tab:tab1}}
begin{tabular}{ll}
toprule
Tabe Head
midrule
text
bottomrule
end{tabular}
end{table}
%figure
begin{figure}
caption{Figure 1label{fig:fig1}}
includegraphics[width=linewidth]{Fig.jpg}
end{figure}
Cite by: ref{eq:eq1}; ref{tab:tab1}; ref{fig:fig1}

Step2b. 参考文献管理

  • JabRef: Generate Citation keys (e.g., RN1)

%in the preamble
bibliographystyle{plain}
%Where the bibliography will be printed
bibliography{name of .bib file}
@book{RN1,
author = {Gastel, Barbara and Day, Robert A.},
title = {How to Write and Publisher a Scientific Paper},
publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
address = {New York, USA},
year = {2017},
type = {Book}
}
Cite by: cite{RN1}

Step3. 转换成任何其他模版

  • Document class (e.g., elsarticle.cls)
  • Bibliography style (e.g., elsarticle-num.bst)

%Default class: article, book, thesis
documentclass[12pt]{article}
bibliographystyle{plain}
%Elsevier
documentclass[review]{elsarticle}
bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num}

其他工具

  • Support collaborative online editing
    1. Overleaf
    2. Authorea
  • Support fully reproducible document using multiple languages, eg R or Python
    1. Rmarkdown
