I am getting an error when generating the tags, see error below. I have tracked the problem down to this offending commit: https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/commits/326299b7
It started to appear when the TAO users guide was placed under src. A simple fix is to remove *.tex from generateetags.py Do you want me to change this?
