• Identify source files (e.g. figures, bibliography) and copy them to a temporary directory.
• Rename graphic files after the number of the figure/table that includes them, e.g. figure-1.png.
• Check that figures and tables are cited in order.
• Insert LaTeX files included by \input directly into the main LaTeX file.
• Insert code listings included by \lstinputlisting directly into the main LaTeX file.
• Insert BibTeX-generated bibliography directly into the main LaTeX file.
• Strip out comments.
• Copy auxiliary files to the tarball.
• Create an archive containing only the the main LaTeX file, required source files, and specified auxiliary files.
