This is how I first did it:

thys/Huffman/document/isabelletags.sty thys/Huffman/fixdoc
description:
more conventional document setup, using inner document/IsaMakefile to do 
the patching;


Since IsaMakefiles are becoming extinct soon, I later refined it as 
follows:

http://afp.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/afp/afp/rev/293122866d12
tag:         tip

See also Isabelle/63ef2f0cf8bb:

The latter also includes the updated documentation.


BTW, some of the perl substitions in Huffman/document/build no longer 
work, because the format of the generated LaTeX has changed slightly over 
the years.
