latexpand is a command-line program to simplify LaTeX source files by removing comments and resolving \includes, \inputs, etc.
Simplify the specified source file and save the result to the specified output file:
latexpand [-o|--output] path/to/output.tex path/to/file.tex
Do not remove comments:
latexpand --keep-comments [-o|--output] path/to/output.tex path/to/file.tex
Do not expand \includes, \inputs etc.:
latexpand --keep-includes [-o|--output] path/to/output.tex path/to/file.tex
Expand \usepackages as far as the corresponding STY files can be found:
latexpand --expand-usepackage [-o|--output] path/to/output.tex path/to/file.tex
Inline the specified BBL file:
latexpand --expand-bbl path/to/bibliography.bbl [-o|--output] path/to/output.tex path/to/file.tex
