Just one copy of the manual (that will eventually go old) and one copy of the source. For example, the Calculator, mixing TeX and JavaScript http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/calculat.pdf has NOT changed in many years now, so there is no problem maitaining the PDF and the source in sync... >- we only publish documented sources That is an important point ... and the only one I can give credit to, but I still think the abundance of examples, even without documentation, is better than the short of examples. >- i want to stimulate users to writ etheir own styles not to mimick >existing ones (i.e. avoid the 'all tex files look the same' problem) .... >so ... there are no hidden tricks (unless it would bother/confuse >users); and .. things like cover designs i wanna keep for myself if only >to avoid cutting and pasting >Hans Hans: Imitation is indeed the truest form of flattery!
