Posts available in PDF form

Some people have noted the PDF icon (
) appearing in the sub-header to each of my posts. No mystery -- it's just a link to a PDF version of the post. The PDF is prepared using LaTeX, so it has the easily recognizable LaTeX
"article" format. The only real difference between the PDF version and the online version is that links are turned into formal footnotes.
If you are wondering, I started doing this before the Stephane Dion citation controversy. I've always thought footnotes were important.
So if you are looking for a printer-friendly view of the posting, or you want to see more formal citations, the PDF file is probably what you are looking for.
One warning: only some of the posts have been prepared in PDF form. It is a manual process, and I'll be doing it in spare moments. I've cobbled together the PHP code to determine if the PDF form is available. If it isn't, the PDF icon links to an explanatory document instead of returning an error to your browser. If you want a PDF version of a particular post, you can always email me and let me know which post you're interested in. I'll try to get a PDF prepared as soon as possible.
