[Docutils-develop] Implementation of "raw"-directive?

[<g.s...@gm...>]

Hi Folks,

As a mathematician I have the bad habit to display some formulas in my
documents. Up to now I do this in reStructuredText by inserting
formulas as GIFs. Of course, this becomes very annoying as the number of
formulas increases. On the other hand it is not a goal of reStructuredText
to be a math-authoring-tool ...

However, I became aware that there is a (not yet implemented)
"raw"-directive which looks very promising to me. For example, I could
use it to pass-through MathML-formulas. It would be great if something
like this would work:

Example::

  **Pythagorean triple**: Any set of three integers satisfying
  the DIOPHANTINE EQUATION |formula|. For example, (x,y,z)=(3,4,5)
  is a Pythagorean triple.

  .. |formula| raw:: html

        <m:math>
         <m:mrow>
          <m:msup>
           <m:mi>x</m:mi>
            <m:mn>2</m:mn>
          </m:msup>
          <m:mo>+</m:mo><m:msup>
           <m:mi>y</m:mi>
           <m:mn>2</m:mn>
          </m:msup>
          <m:mo>=</m:mo><m:msup>
           <m:mi>z</m:mi>
           <m:mn>2</m:mn>
          </m:msup>
         </m:mrow>
        </m:math>

The MathML part should go untouched through the writer and replace
the formula.

Is this the way you are planning to implement it? 
(It would be a nice way to pass through SVGs as well.)

Rgds,
Gunnar.

Again I'm reminded of a pet project that's still in the conceptual design 
stage of turning ASCII art into SVG... ;)

What can be used to _view_ SVG though? I understand there's a KPart in KDE 
3.1, but beyond that...

In a few days, a week at most, it will be available in the parser.

Yes, precisely.  I wasn't aware that HTML browsers supported MathML
though.  What do you use?

As long as the receiving end understands the data, anything goes.

Mozilla supports MathML. Don't know if they got in the Mac-version yet though
(it was dragging a bit behind, I think).

[Docutils-develop] latex writer

[engelbert g. <be...@ch...>]

as there are many options to latex how should they be settable.

first distinguishing if they are needed in the writer
(when a pdf is generated some the pdf-documentinfo should be populated
otherwise not)

font packages and even the language could be left to a included file.
times is the better font for pdfs but if someone likes cm better ?

one could supply some sample include files.

attached is roundups user_guide converted to pdf.
i would take it as it is. except for the table.
tabular does no line breaking in a l(eft align) column. sould be p{Ncm}
but who knows N.

does anyone know how i get unnumbered sections into the toc ?

cheers

[Docutils-develop] latex writer section numbering

[engelbert g. <be...@ch...>]

if sections are not numbered (using \section*{this ..} instead of
\section{...}) the sections are not included in the table of contents.

by putting the following lines in the latex header results in \section{}
numbering being invisible, BUT the section title will be indented as if
there were a number. any other tips.

\renewcommand{\thesection}{}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{}
