A Few Notes on Book Design, aka memdesign.pdf is an extended

As this part was not about the memoir class and might be
interesting for non-memoir users it has now been split in to
this stand alone document.
Please note that the PDF uses commercial fonts, but the
README contains instructions as to how to compile the
document without these fonts.

The doc package provides LaTeX developers with means to describe the usage and the
definition of new macros and environments. However, there is no simple way to extend
this functionality to other items (options or counters for instance). The DoX package is
designed to circumvent this limitation.
