Ralf,

Usually the situation is that I work on the code (in seperate spad
files) and documentation (in pamphlet file). So when I wish to publish
I do the following:

1) cut and paste all the seperate .spad files back into pamphlet file.
2) download the master pamphlet file to my local computer.
3) compare my new pamphlet file with master just downloaded by using
KDiff3 program and resolve any differences.
4) if there have been any changes by Waldek then untangle (using cut
and paste) this back into seperate .spad files.
5) check that they still compile in case there is some interaction
between my and Waldeks changes.
6) upload new pamphlet file to github

Upto now this has worked although it is very tedious. Recently there
was a problem with matrix and scene files and I think this is because
I started to use a program called 'Kile' to edit the pamphlet files
(as it has some help with LaTeX commands). I guess its always going to
be a problem using such a program to edit a file that contains a
mixture of Tex and code.
