One way I've seen the multiple-run problem solved is to have the shell script grep through the LaTeX output for 're-run' (or whatever the string is - LaTeX tells you when it needs to be rerun, I believe), and rerun the latex command if that appears. LyX may be a better all-round solution, though. Dan --- "Richard E. Hawkins" <hawk@fac13.ds.psu.edu> wrote: > Rahul Remarked, > > > > Richard E.
