-- After looking over a few of the papers that i have prepared with TeX, i was appaled by the fact that they were so difficult to read in source form because they had no real structure. Has anyone ever sat down and established a set of guideline for formatting a TeX/LaTeX document? What i am refering to is a set of readability rules, as now exsist for programming languages. As an example, i typically format a footnote as follows: line of text before the footnote. % \footnote{The text of the footnote. If the footnote extends on more than on line i indent it as such.} % the line after the footnote mark........ this sets the footnote appart from the rest of the text and improves readability (for me ;-). If I may be so bold, i feel rules such as these would be a useful thing to establish, if indeed they have not been already... ______________________________________________________________________________ Kenneth J.
