Tim,

I extracted  input files from the pamphlet you indicated as examples: I 
must say that the syntax seems to look fine.

I only have to add two common abbreviations for commands which, clearly, 
can't be extracted:
)sys
)abbrev

I just have two questions:

1) Are curly brackets ever used in axiom syntax? 
It seems to me they are not and they have no meaning in axiom: if it is 
so, I can remove them from sanity check, simplifying things.

2) If I give the command (for example)
)tangle bookvol10.2
then the result is an empty input file. If I change all chunk arguments to * via
cat bookvol10.3.pamphlet | sed "s/\\\\begin{chunk}.*$/\\\\begin{chunk}{\*}/" > 
book.pamphlet
then
)tangle book
returns the whole input file.
What am I missing?
