Hmmm... that doesn't seem significant does it?

So you say that the version of noweb that you are using (Debian
version 2.10c-3.3) is messes it? It seems to work fine on the
axiom-developer.org server which is running noweb-2.11b. The
dvi output that you can download from the web is generated by
running noweave and latex on this source file.

BTW, I have been thinking about changing "axiom--test--1" (which
currently is not linked to any repository) to "axiom/trunk" and
re-basing it on Axiom Silver at SourceForge. This would allow me
implement, for example, a button to generate the output of 'svn diff'
of the source for each pamphlet file. This would simplify applying
patches from the online source back to the Silver repository but
without linking it too strongly to the underlying repository.

To update the repository from the online source one could then

What do you think?
