[ale] Is there a system to encourage using styles?

[Tom Freeman]

Some good, but I suspect temporarily inappropriate ideas here. (sorry) The 
individual in question is currently both my direct supervisor and 
mentoring me in instructing a subject I have limited direct training or 
experience in (environmental science).

Currently there about 70 files (10-20 pages each if printed) which I'm 
working on "cleaning up". I get another course next term, when I expect 
to see another batch of files in the same basic condition.

On the other paw... That is a lovely collection of resources for LaTex 
etc. I'm impressed! Thank you - I hope to make some use of those soonish.
