[Docutils-users] need raw latex in author entry

[Ryan K. <rya...@gm...>]

I am trying to use rst2latex and this rst

:Author: Ryan Krauss :latex:`\footnotemark`

to produce this latex

\author{Ryan Krauss \footnotemark}

but I am getting

\author{Ryan Krauss \textbackslash{}footnotemark}

What am I doing wrong?  Raw latex is defined as the default role and
works fine in the rest of the document.  Here are my first few lines;

=======================================================================================
 Two Control Design Techniques for Flexible Robots Based on the
Transfer Matrix Method
=======================================================================================

.. include:: /home/ryan/git/report_generation/header.rst

:Author: Ryan Krauss `\footnotemark`

.. sectnum::
  :depth: 2


and here is my header.rst:

.. role:: ref

.. role:: label


.. role:: latex(raw)
     :format: latex


.. default-role:: latex


.. role:: inline


.. sectnum::
  :depth: 3


.. raw::  latex

    \newcommand*{\docutilsroleref}{\ref}
    \newcommand*{\docutilsrolelabel}{\label}
    \newcommand*{\docutilsroleinline}[1]{\lstinline!#1!}
    \newcommand{\mytitle}[1]{\textbf{\flushleft \Large #1}}


Thanks,

Ryan
