[Docutils-users] RST -> pdf: The Ongoing Saga

[Tim D. <tu...@tu...>]

I have been struggling with a variety of problems trying to get
rst files to produce pdfs.  Today, I created a 0-length file
(tren.rst) to prove to myself it wasn't my file.  And, sure enough,
the problem showed up again.  When I brought this issue up a few
months ago, people had suggestions but nothing seemed to fix
the problem - This is running on FreeBSD 8.1 with teTex:

rst2latex  tren.rst >tren.latex
latex tren.latex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
