Abstract
Because LaTeX is only a macro-expansion system, the language does not
impose any kind of good software engineering practice, program structure or
coding style. Maybe because in the LaTeX world, collaboration is not so
widespread, the idea of some LaTeX Coding Standards is not so pressing as
with other programming languages. Over the years, the permanent flow of
personal development experiences contributed to shape our own taste in terms
of coding style. In this paper, we report on all these experiences and
describe what we think are good programming practices.
