Well, I am not sure why Ralf wants decoupling, but for me it
is no-goal. In fact, since at core process is similar it is
natural to reuse as much code as possible. And reuse already
done computations. Which means doing what code in FriCAS
wiki is doing: produce both text and LaTeX output in the same
run.

It seems that all discovered issues are resolved now. It is not
clear to me it is worth splitting disscusion into separate threads.
Concerning splitting patches, I think it would be natural to
commit chages to HyperDoc program and graphics as one piece (assuming
they are compatible with current way of building book) and changes
to FriCAS book and src/doc Makefile as another piece.
I have some small comment to changes that you did in .htex files.
Namely on page 876 subsection 'abbrs' you changed 'limited to 7
characters' into 'limited to 8 characters'. The exact statement
is that _category_ abbreviations are limited to 7 characters
and domain/package abbreviations can use 8 characters.
I would probably skip 'limited to' part here.
Abbreviations are mentioned in other places and we probably should
put precise statement somewhere, but description of 'Browse' does
not look like good place. And such change is independent of other
changes that you are making.
