[Biopython-dev] Moving Bio.Motif documentation into Tutorial.tex

[Bartek Wilczynski]

Hi,

I've started to look into merging Bio.Motif docs with the Tutorial. I have a
few questions:
- First, I need to find a good place in the tutorial to put it.
    One possibility is to make a separate chapter for it, another option is
to put it as a subchapter in chapter 15 (cookbook).
    I think it would be better to make it a separate chapter, similar to one
the ones discussing Bio.popgen or bio.phylo, So i thought it would make
sense to create it as a new chapter 13, entitled Sequence motif analysis
with Bio.Motif
-second, I have links and references to papers in there. The question would
be should I remove those to keep to the style of the tutorial

any thoughts are welcome
