2009-08-09T03:59:19Z The Automatic LaTeX Build System is a set of makefiles, scripts, and policies for managing large LaTeX projects. We use the term "project" instead of "document", since a project includes all of the source files, the scripts, and the build system to generate one or more "documents". The build system helps track dependencies, efficiently runs LaTeX and BibTeX the minimum number of times, and manages different types of input (such as figures) through extensible "modules". The build system includes two modules by default: one is for Inkscape generated SVG and the other is for Matlab generated plots. Currently the build system only works with PDFLaTeX. The [user guide](http://gitorious.org/cbatten-sw/albs/blobs/raw/master/albs-uguide.txt) includes a tutorial and reference documentation. 2009-09-23T01:58:37Z albs true git://gitorious.org/cbatten-sw/albs.git git@gitorious.org:cbatten-sw/albs.git cbatten mainline cbatten-sw
