I tried following the README in the devel/doc/ref section and am
having latex compilation problems.
First, in mwrank somewhere there is a \Sha which latex has trouble with.
Second, in sage.rings.polynomial.pbori there is a \Sage, \var{other}
and var[ring] which
I think latex doesn't like. (Could be wrong though.)
Third, I think in code_constructions there is a line
      ValueError including a traceback error message: "x must divide x^4 - 1"
which latex complains about a missing $ sign. (I'm not sure though.)

The problem is that when I try to correct them and rerun build_pdf, the new
corrections are not taken into account. They I went into
devel/doc/ref/sage and deleted
the corresponding *.tex files and still, the compilation failed at the
same places.

Any ideas? Debugging latex errors in the documentation doesn't seem
that hard but
*testing* that the fixes work in the reference manula using build_pdf is where
I'm stuck.
