+<h3>The quality of your LaTeX</h3>
+<p/>The <i>l2tabu</i> tutorial (mentioned in
+<a href="FAQ-man-latex.html">online introductions</a>) is undoubtedly a
+good read.
+<p/>However, it&rsquo;s always difficult to remember the things you should
+<em>not</em> do, when there are so many things to remember that you
+really must do: some automation is needed....
+<p/>The nicely-named <i>nag</i> allows you to apply a configurable set
+of checks to your document, as you run it through LaTeX; you get
+messages like:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+Package nag Warning: Command \bf is an old LaTeX 2.09 command.
+(nag) Use \bfseries or \textbf instead on input line 30.
+</pre>
+
+</blockquote><p>
+ (the package provides a demo file which contains most of the sorts
+ of errors you might make &mdash; this is one of them).
+
+<p/>There&rsquo;s also a web site
+<a href="http://www.kohm.name/markus/texidate.html">TeXidate</a>
+which will do a static analysis of your document (unfortunately, you
+have to paste your document source into a text window). The site
+doesn&rsquo;t seem as comprehensive as <i>nag</i>, but it allows you to
+download its script, which you can then juggle with to make it more
+draconian.
