I have a book that's divided into separate ReST documents for each chapter. I need page numbers in chapter 1 to be numbered 1-1, 1-2, 1-3... and in chapter 2 I need page numbers 2-1, 2-2, 2-3... etc. I also need sections to be numbered the same way (in chapter 1 I want the first section to be 1.1, etc.) I can live with LaTeX-writer-specific fixes for these issues, but I'd really prefer it if we couls solve it at the ReST level. The following requests are most likely LaTeX-specific: I want a whole lot less hyphenation; it seems to be trying too hard to maintain line density when justifying text. I already have \sloppy in my stylesheet. My publisher likes to indent the first line of every paragraph *except* the first one in a (sub-)section. Does anyone know how to get that effect?

It's a long while since I've used LaTeX, but could you define a negative indent for the first line of a (sub-)section? -- Neil http://www.bbc.co.uk/ - World Wide Wonderland This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

The issues are LaTeX-specific, so you can't fix them at reST level. > My publisher likes to indent the first line of every paragraph > *except* the first one in a (sub-)section. Does anyone know how > to get that effect? To be honest, again I don't see what's your problem. The first paragraph indeed currently has no first-line-indentation, so LaTeX is already behaving the way your publisher wants, isn't it? Maybe you did some \parindent fiddling in your stylesheet? Could you provide examples (in reST) for when Docutils/LaTeX isn't behaving the way you want, together with your stylesheet file (if it isn't too long) and the options passed to Docutils? -- When replying to my email address, please ensure that the mail header contains 'Felix Wiemann'. http://www.ososo.de/ |

(If you aren't, they aren't numbered at all.) I think you forget that I have one chapter per ReST document. >> I can live with LaTeX-writer-specific fixes for these issues, but I'd >> really prefer it if we couls solve it at the ReST level. > > The issues are LaTeX-specific, so you can't fix them at reST level. We certainly have solved the section number prefix issue at the ReST level. Any of the other issues could be similarly handled by encoding the information in the ReST format. >> My publisher likes to indent the first line of every paragraph >> *except* the first one in a (sub-)section.

Quite so! OK, I can take that out, thanks. > Could you provide examples (in reST) for when Docutils/LaTeX isn't > behaving the way you want, together with your stylesheet file (if it > isn't too long) and the options passed to Docutils? It's not an issue of behavior, but of capability. We're getting there, but we're not there yet. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com |
