In gretl CVS, I've now split the manual into two chunks. One, which I'm calling the Gretl Command Reference, includes the Command Reference chapter and also the "Options and arguments" chapter. The remaining chapters of the full manual have gone into what I'm calling the Gretl Users' Guide.
I'm now working on an xsl stylesheet to convert the XML files containing the Users' Guide chapters into reasonably clean, human-editable tex. This is progressing quite well, though I still have to tackle tables. For the present, we can compile both parts as PDF using the XML sources and jadetex, albeit with some breakage of cross-references. Cri, I hope you don't mind my making some small changes to some of the Italian XML files. This was just because, with the split, some of the old cross-references are no longer valid, and I wanted to test the compilation of both the Italian and the English versions. I agree with Jack's observations on the manual, and would be very glad to receive contributions/patches for the Users' Guide. Allin Cottrell
