I take it you're referring to this?: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/axiom--test--1/src/doc/AxiomBib I think that's a little different from what I mean - that (as far as I can tell) is a way for pamphlet files to reference other pamphlet files. That's good but not what I have in mind - I'm actually referencing books and papers from external sources, more like a research paper. I guess you could say I'm trying to more or less make this a paper which also happens to be an Axiom pamphlet and implementation of the ideas under discussion, sort of like your "literate journal" idea. (I know that the idea there is mainly for the research and implementation of new mathematical ideas, but I like the format and it helps to organize my thinking.) So this I guess would be a UnitsandDimensions.bib file to go along with UnitsandDimensions.pamphlet. I doubt it would make sense to include it in a global bib file, and if Axiom begins incorporating lots of papers trying to maintain one huge bib file could get pretty hairy. > re: hyperlinks > > hyperlinks are fine in pamphlet files, i think. > they'll cause us some dependency pain but they are worth it. I think they hyperref package is pretty standard nowadays, for what that's worth. Or did you mean dependency pain in pamphlets referring to each other? > not sure how they will impact mathaction and pdf. needs to be > investigated. pdf at least should be no problem - I'm generating pdf now without too much issue (a few odd warnings I don't really understand, but the resulting pdf looks fine and seems to have working hyperlinks.)
