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...
