# Miscellaneous

* check the mechanism whereby latex (or pdflatex) is re-run if the
document contains undefined references after the first run. Bibtex
is re-run if undefined citations are reported by latex, and
makeindex is run if the driver detects a ".idx" file. If bibtex or
makeindex are run then latex (or pdflatex) are run up to three more
times to allow forward references to stabilize.
This should all be coped with now but need to check on edge cases
* look at how path variables could be specified to the filter
(TEXINPUTS, TEXINPUTS_latex, TEXINPUTS_pdflatex, BIBINPUTS, etc),
and how these should interact with the system paths.
* get the filter working on Win32
how does one set environment variables with command.exe?
* write unit tests for error conditions (invalid .bib file, etc)
* provide a facility for specifying pre- and post-processors,
e.g. gnuplot, metapost, tpic or other graphics processors. May need
to copy data files from the source location to the temporary
directory.
* benchmark the filter
Note that the latex filter runs up to eight external programs, so it
isn't very fast. But for modest documents the performance is
adequate, even for interactive applications.
* expand the documentation
* review the security implications of allowing templates to specify
program paths for latex, pdflatex and dvips.
* add examples
