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.
