I use -D/document_dump extensively for producing papers. The Isabelle Latex 
output pretty much always requires post processing for anything that has higher 
type setting requirements. My standard setup these days is not to use root.tex 
for papers, but only to generate .tex from .thy, then post-process, then 
include manually in a master .tex file. 

It looks like document_dump with default "all" for document_dump_mode produces 
what I need, though (even "tex" would be sufficient).

Tobias and I had a setup where we also needed isabelle.sty, but we could 
subsume that with document_output. A small annoyance with document_output was 
that the output doesn't seem to get produced for document=false (i.e. seems to 
force a latex run) and that it insists on creating a "document" subdirectory in 
the target directory that I give it.

Cheers,
Gerwin
