sorry bout that.

the latex writer
================

posibilities
------------

1. produce a latex article: means use latex atitle,date,author.

   pro: latex supports more languages
   con: the docinfo would be printed inconsistent.

2. use latex as a page layout mechanism.

3. the latex_writer does only markup translations.
   e.g. when producing python documentation a special latex
   documentclass is used, with special markups for member-variables, ...

   the writer in the currentversion is useless for this (albeit
   the rest-input would need some special markup too).

problems arise simply from the fact, that
the latex-writer currently is used for pdfs with hyperlinks and
for hardcopies.
