[sclug] Latex puzzlement

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Matthew

Thaks for the tips :-) Option 1 is a problem because diagrams have to appear 
after they are referenced in the source. BTW, the example I sent was one I 
knocked together to illustrate a problem I am having in my thesis. It took me 
quite a long time to work out what the problem is in the first place.

Option 2 may actually get me past my immediate problem of producing a 
printable draft, although I agree it long term sustainability looks poor :-(

Many thanks

Tim Sutton
