Hi all: When writing a document I get, besides the document where I write and compile in LaTeX and the output PDF, several other files that I've no idea what they're for and why do I get. My file name is Nayad, and I get the following files: Nayad.aux Nayad.bbl Nayad.lof Nayad.lot Nayad.out Nayad.toc A notepad file called Nayad Can somebody please tell what are the above files for? Can I erase them and keep only the file where I write on and the output PDF, or can some of the above files help me out in some way for something...? Thank yuou very much for your attention Tonio P. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ¡Obtén la mejor experiencia en la web!

Look in the "The Not So Short Introduction to L ATEX2ε", which all "beginners" should read :-) . To take one of them: .toc is used to store your section headers, and to make the table of contents (TOC) in the next run. You can safely delete the files, but they will come again next time you compile your document. When you compile your document for the first time, the TOC will be missing in the document, but you will have a .toc file. The second time you compile the documnt, the compiler will look in the .toc file, and make the TOC from that file... Christian |

Hello Tonio, > Nayad.aux The aux file contains things like citations, labels, etc. Used by LaTeX in the second run to place references, get citation numbers correct, etc. > Nayad.bbl Generated by BibTeX for the aux file and the bib file. Contains the formatted thebibliography environment (unless you're using biblatex, but it's still needed). > Nayad.lof List of Figures. Used if you put \listoffigures to actually create the table. Same applies to List of Tables > Nayad.lot List of Tables. See above. > Nayad.out This might be from a few things, but will be generated "on the fly". > Nayad.toc The Table of Contents, which works in the same way as the List of ... files. > A notepad file called Nayad Probably Nayad.log, the TeX log of what has gone on. > Can I erase them and keep only the file where I write on and the output PDF, > or can some of the above files help me out in some way for > something...? All of these are generated files, and so if you delete the lot LaTeX/BibTeX will regenerate them. If you do, then you'll need to do LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX to get cross-references, etc., right again. Of course, once you have a final PDF then there is no problem removing all of them. -- Joseph Wright |

All these files are temporary files used for some kind of references. For example the table of contents. The first time you create the document it creates a file with sections and pagenumbers which is read at second compilation. Others are for list of figures, index, bibliography and so on. You can delete them, but then you need to compile twice again. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose A.
