Looks great.  Thank you.

Before we advertise, I'd like to write up a "how to mirror it" page.  Couple of days?

(I've done that before, for the tl-update-bindir script, among others.)

Thank; it is a subshell-escapes-more-things thing, I think.  Maybe curly braces and semicolon instead of parens?

I don't think @ is noticeably problematic as far as the web goes.

OK with me.  I thought RFC1738 was the relevant one and it says:

  Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
   reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
   unencoded within a URL.

Is @ only used in emails?

Jim

I changed http://latexref.xyz/ setup so that it goes to the new split
html tree.

I'll look at automating the deletions/additions when I have a chance.
(I've done that before, for the tl-update-bindir script, among others.)

I wonder if the url tinkering could profitably use "@" instead of "at".
I don't think @ is noticeably problematic as far as the web goes.

Re CTAN, agreed, but doesn't seem like a priority. I can imagine going
in two directions: 1) delete it (explaining CTAN is not LaTeX reference
material), or 2) make it part of a little more "introduction to the TeX
world" material. Maybe underneath the "About this document" chapter.
I don't think CTAN should be a chapter on its own.

Thanks,
Karl
