Converting LaTeX to Word (docx)

I write my papers in LyX, which can easily produce a LaTeX file. (Indeed, LyX uses LaTeX as a backend when producing PDFs.) But most journals want a Word file or something of the sort. Well, it's John MacFarlane's pandoc to the rescue. Here's how to do it:

1. Get yourself a LaTeX file.
2. Use pandoc to convert to a docx file:
• pandoc -o output.docx --citeproc --bibliography mybib.bib input.tex

The --citeproc option tells pandoc to produce a bibliography. The --bibliogrpaphy option tells pandoc where to find citation information. This can be used multiple times if you have multiple bib files, but it's easier to use aux2bib to create a local bib file with just the citations in that document.

"Does Pornography Presuppose Rape Myths?" Accepted at Pacific Philosophical Quarterly

What a relief! The paper had been rejected at another journal without even being sent to referees, so I was starting to get worried.

A somewhat longer version than what will be published is available on my web site.
