Short Note Empowering SEP’s documents

The arrival of LATEX2ε at SEP enhanced our LATEX typesetting system and led us to improve SEP’s customized enhancements. The revised system enables us to use the script latex2html (Drakos, 1996) to publish our documents routinely on the Internet. Additionally, we improved the communication between a document’s makefile and its corresponding LATEX file. Finally, we replaced a gigantic c-shell script (texpr) that governed SEP’s entire document processing, by a set of small Perl scripts. These Perl scripts are easier to maintain, because they deal more flexibly with a wide range of processing choices. We hope we can share our customized LATEX2ε typesetting system with other communities such as SEG, TRIP (Rice University), or CWP (Colorado School of Mines).
