Re: Question about rst2latex with Latex fancyhdr package

By default, headings are only automatically updated when a new numbered
section starts.

Hence, there can be several reasons:

a) You do not use numbered headings
b) You do not use "latex numbering"

Fix for b):

man2rst: strange behaviour with a dot as first option group

Hi,

I'm not sure it's a bug (even if it looks like one), and if not I'm looking for
a workaround.

I need to do a group option list with special characters, and the dot '.' seems
to break the layout (a ``.sp`` is added). Can be reproduced with:

$
    bla bla bla

#
    bla bla bla

.
    bla bla bla

[
    bla bla bla

]
    bla bla bla

It does not seem to affect other tools, so I guess it's a bug from rst2man.
Escaping the dot does not help getting the correct output.

odtwriter putting code under a tip...

Hello-

I'm trying to insert code under the .. tip:: construct like so:

.. tip::

  Here's some code to show it::

    >>> foo = "test"

With the odtwriter, the embedded code is not indented relative to the
tip section but to the page. Any ideas on how to fix, or should I file
a bug?

cheers,
-matt

rst2beamer doesn't render title correctly

Hi all,

I have a problem with the otherwise excellent (thanks!) rst2beamer tool.
After a recent system upgrade to Xubuntu Natty (11.4), it doesn't render
the slide title correctly. Instead, the title is output immediately *after*
the maketitle command, as the attached test file shows. Strangely,
rst2beamer does recognize the title correctly (as the "\hypersetup{
pdftitle={..." setting shows), but it doesn't render it correctly.

I use rst2beamer v0.6.6 with originally Docutils 0.8 [snapshot 2010-09-01,
r6395]. After the problem I tried downgrading Docutils to 0.7 [release],
but that didn't change anything. I also tried re-installing rst2beamer, but
without any success. The only real change was that Python is now at
v2.7.1+, while before it was v2.6.something.

Does anybody have any idea what's going wrong there? I'll be grateful for
any hints...

Christian

definitions in definition lists be implicit hyperlink targets

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible make definitions in definition 
lists implicit hyperlink targets automatically somehow. Eg. instead of:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
_`considerWarningAsError`
     When set to non-zero, show error message instead of confirmation 
dialog.

chechEntryMaximumValue
     Together with considerWarningAsError_ blah.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to write this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
considerWarningAsError
     When set to non-zero, show error message instead of confirmation 
dialog.

chechEntryMaximumValue
     Together with considerWarningAsError_ blah.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

i.e. without explicit markup in the first line (definition) for 
"considerWarningAsError".

Is this possible? If not, how should I make it possible?

Using rst2latexmath.py (from jensj)

I'm trying to figure out the options for writing equations in reST, and the possibilities appear to be to use
either itex2MML or the latex-math plugin from http://docutils.sourceforge.net/sandbox/jensj/latex_math/

However, it seems that the latex generated by rst2latexmath.py (in the tools directory of the link above)
is incomplete.  For example, running the commands (latex_math.txt from the docs directory):

	rst2latexmath.py latex_math.txt latex_math.tex
	pdflatex latex_math.tex

complains about undefined symbols.  To get latex_math.tex to build I have to apply this patch:

--- latex_math.tex.original	2011-06-27 09:18:18.000000000 +0100

You can also use a recent snapshot of the upcoming release 0.8 that
includes math support into the core (incorporating and extending Jens
Jörgens latex_math).

Matt -

Thanks for letting me know.  I believe I've fixed it.  I checked the
code into the SVN repository last night.  Please let me know
if it works the way you'd expect.

These are fixes.  The problem is that mathptmx doesn't define \amalg, \coprod or \jmath, or more precisely
defines them to generate errors.  These lines are a fudge to pull in alternative (and perfectly workable)
definitions directly from the original computer modern files.  These lines are required because
latex_math.txt uses \amalg and \coprod.

The issue, presumably, is that these symbols don't have postscript forms, and for whatever reason the
writers of mathptmx didn't want to do the fudge I'm doing here (despite the fact it works perfectly well, as
far as I can tell).

For reference, the third symbol \jmath requires these lines:

\let\jmath=\undefined
\DeclareSymbolFont{cmletters}{OML}{cmm}{m}{it}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\jmath}{\mathord}{cmletters}{"7C}

Gosh, must be pretty recent: I only checked out my docutils build literally a month ago!
