I object to those also :) But since you are doing the work on the manuals, I think your opinion should count for more. > It is useful to save writing things like "section" all the time and one can > change it easily to "sec." or whatever. > > >It would be nice to keep the > >examples as clean as possible.

It compiles for me as well with pdflatex, XeTeX and LuaTeX with TeX fonts. It does not compile with system fonts. If you are curious (no need to do this now though), to see if it compiles for you with system fonts, check the box "Use non-TeX fonts" and choose some fonts, e.g. FreeSans. This is not a big deal, but I think that the benefit of the preamble code is not that great either so it is just a matter of which little benefit is more than the other. Scott
