The file has is more than 3500 lines now, and I think the experiment has failed in a sense. The problem is that this even if this style is great to produce nice documents and add a lot of useful text, is quite bad to actually write modular code. I rely quite heavily on the order in which things are declared for example, instead of having different libraries to load. So I guess I will switch to a multiple files structure again, which is more "programmer friendly in a sense". Anyone else had similar experiences?
