Being a person who for some time used latex filter to generate PDF I
feel fairly sure that this is the WRONG way. The bare problem of
leaving/trailing spaces/empty lines which are easily left by designers
shows this but there is more (poor errors diagnostic, no support for
generating many files latexed together - like main document and the
images etc).

What is the right way? Use TT to generate tex/latex file and exec TeX
separately, not from within the filter.
