Just one quick comment... there are several places where you use TeX
syntax. I'd prefer to promote LaTeX (it's \newpage instead of \eject).
In fact I don't like to see \eject at all.
This is incorrect. \eject is a valid LaTeX command, for all versions of LaTeX.
It is defined in lplain.tex (for LaTeX 2.09) and in latex.ltx (for LaTeX2e).
\newpage is different from \eject, it is not a substitute to it. So, if Tim uses
\eject and it gives the result he wants, then he is correct.
OK, I was incorrect with \eject. It is in latex.ltx and, therefore a
LaTeX command.
But I still don't like to see it in a LaTeX document, especially not in
places like
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{src/scripts/tex/axiom}
\begin{document}
\title{The Top Level Makefile}
\author{Timothy Daly}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\end{abstract}
\eject
\tableofcontents
\eject
\section{General Makefile Structure}
If one really likes to have the output like that then the command
"\tableofcontent" and/or the environment "abstract" should be redefined
via a style file. Even if that costs a little more effort in writing
those styles, it separates style from contents. That was the point I
wanted to make.
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{1} nothing
\end{thebibliography}
It is old technology.
What do you mean by "old technology" ? These are also valid LaTeX commands,
in all versions of LaTeX
Of course, you are correct, but it is much better to use BibTeX. There
is simply more structure in a BibTeX file than in a usual
"thebibliography" environment.
If you rather like to maintain such environments instead of a BibTeX
file, fine with me, but I wouldn't like to do this.
Ralf
