[Qgis-community-team] Looking for Feedback about a new manual style

[Werner Macho]

Hi Jean Roc!

As of my knowledge of TeX there is no need for a Makefile or a .bat file 
at all.
Usually there should be a "main" document which includes all the 
chapters and by calling pdflatex (or only latex) main.tex the whole 
document should be compiled ..
Thats at least the way all the editors work .. And thats also the 
"platform independant" way (if there are no absolute paths in some .tex 
files)
So probably this is a chance to get rid of the Makefile and all platform 
dependancies and create a .tex which works on any platform.. That is my 
great dream :)

But it's just a suggestion - any improvement is welcome anyway.

thanks
Werner
