[Docutils-users] minimum latex package

[Michael P. S. <mso...@di...>]

Hello,

To use rst2latex or rst2newlatex, what is the minimum latex install needed?
I'm finding that I seem to be missing some classes, and I'm not sure if my
texlive install is broken...

Is there a definitive list? I couldn't find one in the FAQ for the docutils.

Thanks,
Mike

you could tell us what seams to be missing in your installation,
the error messages produced or give a small example document.

Rather incomplete than broken. However the number of required packages is
reduced in the SVN version compared to the release 0.5.

There is not. However, the generated latex source does list all required
packages (of course). Search for all occurences of "\usepackage".

Currently, a lot of these "\usepackage" commands are in the source even if
not required in the document. I am currently working on a change to this
behaviour.

I am interested in more detailled reports too.

Ok. I'm using 0.4 from Gentoo Linux ATM...

That would be nice. My initial docs are minimal.

Perhaps I need the texlive-latex-extra package...

Pretty old. But might be ok to start with.

Yes. But this can be circumvented by setting the T1 font encoding,
<http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/latex.html#font-encoding>,
best in a ~/.docutils configuration file (see 
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/config.html).

For a test you can just edit the generated *.tex file:
uncomment the "offending" commands (\usepackage{ae,aeguill} in this case)
and try again.

In Debian, it is in 'texlive-latex-recommended'.

Also the typearea.sty package, needed by latex2rst.py, is in
texlive-latex-recommended.

I got as far as multirow.sty. :)

Ok, got that now on my Ubuntu box. It doesn't seem to be helping...

Looks like multirow is in texlive-latex-extra...

You can outcomment this as long as you do not use tables with cells spanning
multiple rows.

It is. (With apt-based Distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, the apt-file
command (from the like-named package) is your friend.)
